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.

Ask HN: Tell us about your project that's not done yet but you want feedback on
This is very cool, looking forward to it! I've been doing the same thing with Spanish Wikipedia articles for a while, using a few lines of Bash + Regex. I was using Apertium for it. https://apertium.org/ It's definitely worse than most ML-based solutions, but it works reliably and fast; you can run it entirely offline. With Spanish translations, the main problem I was facing is lack of vocabulary, so I created https://github.com/phil294/apertium-eng-spa-wiktionary which about doubles the amount of recognized words, albeit with wonky grammar.

Show HN: Unlimited machine translation API for $200 / Month
I used to keep track of the state of machine translation some years back.
I think the way you measure the success of an automated translation is edit distance, i.e. how many manual edits you need to make to a translated text before you reach some acceptable state. I suppose it's somewhat subjective, but it is possible to construct a benchmark and allow for multiple correct results.
The best resources I knew back then were:
VISL's CG-3 self-reported a competitively low edit distance compared to Google Translate: https://visl.sdu.dk/constraint_grammar.html -- the abstraction unfortunately requires a rather deep knowledge of any one particular language's grammar. It is a convincing argument that in order to beat Google Translate, you want less fuzzy machine learning and more structural analysis. But you also need a PhD in computational linguistics and deep knowledge of each language.
Apertium has an open-source pipeline: https://apertium.org/ -- seems to be much more like an open-source approach with a quality similar to Google Translate (although I don't know if it's better or worse; probably slightly worse in most cases, and with a slightly lower coverage).

Translating several languages into CV Creole
For context, I have been contributing CV Creole data to Unicode's CLDR and MediaWiki for a number of years now, but both are mostly manual work. I once considered setting up an Apertium language pair between CV Creole and Portuguese, given the grammatical similarities, but never got around to it.

"Lingva" Google Translate but without the tracking
Lingva is awesome. Also don't forget to check out LibreTranslate and Apertium. They are open source. Apertium can even translate web pages (you need to enter the URL).

Ask HN: What Underrated Open Source Project Deserves More Recognition?
Shameless plug. My own one of course :)

In-Browser Code Playgrounds
You can also try one I am building, a cross between Visual Basic and Microsoft Access here:

The IDEs we had 30 years ago and we lost
i am working on such a thing myself at https://github.com/yazz/yazz. Also there are many other people trying to build something similar

2023: Focusing on a single product pays off
I keep hacking away on Yazz for over 10 years now.... even if there is zero payoff I keep hacking... and that is what hackers do... we are not doing for the money... https://github.com/yazz/yazz

“The Economics of Programming Languages” by Evan Czaplicki [video]
I really loved this talk and feel for Evan. As someone who was a VC/Angel investor in the space (I was the initial angel investor for something called LightTable/Eve) back in the day, worked for a couple of years at Red Hat, and am working on my own Open Source Language here: https://github.com/yazz/yazz (so yes, you could say I am a VC trying to build a low code product with my own hands), so I feel I have a valid opinions on this. I think that it is possible to make money in opensource as a little guy, but you need to have a combination of consulting, hosting, and support services. If your product is not able to encapsulate being sold and packaged as something that is possible to demo and sell to customers then you will most likely struggle to make a living from it

Ask HN: Why did Visual Basic die?
I am actually trying to make an open source successor, but using Javascript instead of Basic, at https://github.com/yazz/yazz and a demo at yazz.com

Ask HN: Tell us about your project that's not done yet but you want feedback on
I'm still building a low code system with an easy to use component marketplace where you can edit components within the low code tool. Still a work in progress: https://github.com/yazz/yazz

Show HN: Scrapscript – The Sharable Programming Language
Author of a framework that also stores it's code in IPFS for easy sharing (https://github.com/yazz/yazz). ScrapScript is a really nice concept with how it stores code. I originally got the idea for storing the code as a hash of the contents from Unison, and it looks like the idea is really starting to catch on with more and more languages now. Well done!

A look at Unison: a revolutionary programming language
I’m working on a low core project that is already using content addressable source code that is stored in IPFS at https://github.com/yazz/yazz so it can be done

DBOS: A Database-Oriented Operating System
There are already some Dbos type systems out there. I built one which stores program state in SQLite databases and process state and programs are also stored in SQLite. In the oat I believe things like silver stream did the same too. The project I made is open source too: https://github.com/yazz/yazz
