Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Graydon Hoare: Batten Down Fix Later
Have you had a look at Ante? It looks a lot like a Rust 2.0 with better ergonomics. There are a lot of interesting ideas.
-
Why is there no simple C-like functional programming language?
Ante is what you are looking for. It's an ML descendant with no RTS nor AGC.

Cell Lang: Why yet another programming language?
In my experience, people believe that programming languages are a solved space, and we should stick with what we have.
It's unfortunate; because languages are very polarized today. I think there's a lot of room for languages that are safe, fast, and most importantly, *easy.* Today's languages are generally two out of three.
Luckily, a lot of languages are exploring that space!
* Vale is blending generational references with regions, to have memory-safe single ownership without garbage collection or a borrow checker. [0]
* Cone is adding a borrow checker on top of GC, RC, single ownership, and even custom user allocators. [1]
* Lobster found a way to add borrow-checker-like static analysis to reference counting. [2]
* HVM is using borrowing and cloning under the hood to make pure functional programming ridiculously fast. [3]
* Ante is using lifetime inference and algebraic effects to make programs faster and more flexible. [4]
* D is adding a borrow checker!

DMD Compiler as a Library: A Call to Arms
Here's the pipeline spitting out the same error as on my macbook did.

My favourite Git commit (2019)
Not completely on topic (if you read TFA) but my favorite Git commit is by compiler badass and HN frequenter, where he checks in an entire C compiler to the D language repo:

The C Bounded Model Checker: Criminally Underused
A new generated code alone is 4000 lines long [1]. The actual code added is just 2000 lines, and some are used to pay debts, I mean, to make a proper code generator (which can be alternatively written in a simpler scripting langauge). In any case it is never comparable to the entier C parser proper.

OpenD, a D language fork that is open to your contributions
D is completely opensource already (https://github.com/dlang/dmd). The "open" of OpenD is just ADR saying that OpenD will be more open to new language features than D has historically been.

The OpenD Programming Language (fork of D)
The reference compiler, DMD, is open source: https://github.com/dlang/dmd
But they don't accept just any Pull Request or features the community submits, understandably. There's a process called DIP for language improvements: https://github.com/dlang/DIPs/blob/master/DIPs/README.md
However, by some accounts, it's really hard to get anything through.
Given D already has so many feature, I find that to be a good thing , to be honest, by not everyone agrees, of course.
