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.

How should I prepare for AI-driven changes in the industry as a Software Engineering Manager
Download the ANTLR jar from https://www.antlr.org/download/antlr-4.9.2-complete.jar Add the ANTLR jar to your project's classpath. Install the ANTLR Kotlin target by following the instructions at https://github.com/antlr/antlr4/blob/master/doc/targets/Kotlin.md Next, you'll need a Perl grammar file for ANTLR:

ELI5- Why can’t regex parse HTML?
Write a context-free grammar for it, commonly written in Backus Naur Form, and use that to write a parser. There are tools named "parser generators" like antlr4 that can automatically convert a BNF grammar into a parser.
- Error "ImportError: No Module named antlr4

MASSIVE help needed on this, using ANTLR4 on Ubuntu and it keeps giving this error when trying to make a parse tree… (it should show up in another window but it gives this instead) I don’t know what to do 😭

Scripting language for Java
Depending on how complex your expressions are, you might consider using something like antlr and writing your own parser for it. Setting up something to handle math and string operations wouldn’t be very hard and then you can control the syntax however you like. You can use a visitor and visit each node in the syntax tree and return the result of each sub-expression.

SQLite Internals: How the Most Used Database Works
> ...than it would be to learn the exact syntax and quirks and possibly bugs of someone else's implementation...
Yup. Also, having deep knowledge of the language is required.
SQLite's grammar is neat. Creating a compatible parser would make a fun project. Here's a pretty good example: https://github.com/bkiers/sqlite-parser (Actual ANTLR 4 grammar: https://github.com/bkiers/sqlite-parser/blob/master/src/main... )
Postgres, which tries to be compliant with the latest standards, however...
SQL-2016 is a beast. Not to mention all the dialects.
I'm updating my personal (soon to be FOSS) grammar from ANTLR 3 LL(k) to ANTLR 4 ALL().
I've long had a working knowledge of SQL-92, with some SQL-1999 (eg common table expressions).
But the new structures and extensions are a bit overwhelming.
Fortunately, ANTLR project has ~dozen FOSS grammars to learn from. https://github.com/antlr/grammars-v4/tree/master/sql
They mostly mechanically translate BNFs to LL(k) with some ALL(). Meaning few take advantage of left-recursion. https://github.com/antlr/antlr4/blob/master/doc/left-recursi...
Honestly, I struggled to understand these grammars. Plus, not being conversant with the SQL-2016 was a huge impediment. Just finding a succinct corbis of test cases was a huge hurdle for me.
Fortunately, the H2 Database project is a great resource. https://github.com/h2database/h2database/tree/master/h2/src/...
Now for the exciting conclusion...
My ANTLR grammar which passes all of H2's tests looks nothing like any of the official or product specific BNFs.
Further, I found discrepancy between the product specific BNFs and their implementations.
So a lot of trial & error is required for a "real world" parser. Which would explain why the professional SQL parsing tools charge money.
I still think creating a parser for SQLite is a great project.

Bored CS student in my junior year. Give me something to do! (free plugins)
I already posted here about a project, but I could also use help on Mantle. It's a new command framework powered by ANTLR, if that's something you're interested in.

ANTLR4
ive been tryng to work with antlr4 and go but it seems that i cant import the runtime, it says that the antlr runtime isnt in the gopath but ive already done go get github.com/antlr/antlr4/runtime/antlr4 and i dont know what to do now, im on windows if anyone knows what to do it would be very helpful. thanks already

Implementing arrays (and hash tables and ..) in a minimal ML with a C API
Have a look at the ecstasy library for the language definitions of these types.
-
Polymorphic static members
2) Funky interfaces: This is an Ecstasy interface that declares abstract static members (e.g. functions), which can then be implemented on any class and overridden on any sub-class, such that they can be invoked by type (instead of this), and virtually resolved (late bound at runtime) based on the type known at compile time. The best known example, of course, is Hashable, because it has to guarantee that a type implements both equals() and hashCode() on the same class, and the implementation is tied to the type, and not to the this. (C# added a similar feature last year in version 11.)
-
How do you parse function calls?
I'm just going to warn you in advance that invocation is one of the hardest things in the compiler to make easy. In other words, the nicer your language's "developer experience" is around invocation, the more hell you're going to have to go through to get there. The AST nodes for Name( (NameExpression) and Invoke( (InvocationExpression) alone are 7kloc in the Ecstasy implementation, for example -- but the result is well worth it.

What are some important differences between the popular versions of OOP (e.g. Java, Python) vs. the purist's versions of OOP (e.g. Smalltalk)?
Ecstasy uses message passing automatically behind the scenes for asynchronous calls, but the message passing isn't visible at the language level (i.e. there is no "message object" or something like that visible). Basically, all Ecstasy code is executing on a fiber inside a service, and services are all running concurrently, so from any service realm to any service realm, the communication is by message.
-
Is your language solving a real world problem?
Regarding Ecstasy, we did not set out to build a new language; we actually set out to solve a real world problem. Specifically, we wanted to be able to dramatically improve the density of workloads in data centers, by at least two orders of magnitude in the case of lightly used applications. Our initial goal was to create a runtime design that would support 10,000 stateful application instances on a single server. Let's call it the "a10k" problem 🤣 ... a tribute to the c10k problem from 1999. We refer to our goal as "zero carbon compute", i.e. we want to push the power and hardware cost for an application to as close to zero as possible; you can't reach zero, but you can get close. If we succeed, we will help reduce the electricity used in data centers over the next few decades by a significant percentage.

How do you tokenize multi char tokens.
Generally, left to right, one character at a time. If you’re looking for example code, here’s a simple hand-built lexer.
-
Have you written your own language in itself yet?
Parts of Ecstasy are now implemented in Ecstasy. Here's the Lexer, for example.

What languages have been created *specifically* for the purpose of being JIT-compiled?
Ecstasy and the xvm were designed assuming an adaptive runtime compiler (similar in concept to the Hotspot compiler for Java), but not necessarily using a JIT.

What are you doing about async programming models? Best? Worst? Strengths? Weaknesses?
A Future reference has the various capabilities that you'd imagine, taking lambdas for thenDo(), whenComplete(), etc. The reference, in the above example, is a local variable, so you just obtain it using the C-style & operator:
