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.

My Thoughts on “Bad Code”
Some patterns arise from language design
* You can't express `T` where `null` is forbidden in the type system so you get NullPointerException everywhere and defensive null checks.
* You express a sum type as a product type because your language does not have sum types .
* Your language doesn't have first class multiple return values (or tuples) so you return extra parameters via out parameters or thread local variables such as `errno`.
* Your language doesn't have exceptions (or algebraic effects) and can't do IO so you have monad transformers.
* Your language doesn't have set-theoretic types so you need hacks like `thiserror` .
* Your language doesn't have stackful coroutines or can't infer async IO for you so you have `async/await` spam or callback hell or "mono's".
* Your language doesn't have exhaustive checks (or pattern matching) so you need a fallthrough case check on switch statements .
* Your language doesn't have algebraic effects, so you need to pass context everywhere.
I know someone will reply about Java's null annotation checking options, so here is one of them: https://github.com/uber/NullAway .

Will Project Valhalla bring Kotlin-like nulls to Java?
If you must use Java, use Uber's Nullaway which gives null safety via Errorprone.

Retrofitting null-safety onto Java at Meta
Does anyone have experience using this at Meta who can compare to https://github.com/uber/NullAway ?

How to use Java Records
A special kind of validation is enforcing that record fields are not null. (Un)fortunately, records do not have any special behavior regarding nullability. You can use tools like NullAway or Error Prone to prevent null in your code in general, or you can add checks to your records:

Ask HN: What is a modern Java environment?
PMD, Spotbugs, Nullaway: Java linting/static analysis (https://pmd.github.io, https://spotbugs.github.io, https://github.com/uber/NullAway)
- Nullaway fully supports switch expressions without issues now in 0.9.5

What are some useful static analyzers for Java?
In personal projects, I've had good experiences using the error-prone compiler plugin with uber's nullaway.
What are some alternatives?
OkHttp - Square’s meticulous HTTP client for the JVM, Android, and GraalVM.
SonarQube - Continuous Inspection
Retrofit - A type-safe HTTP client for Android and the JVM
Error Prone - Catch common Java mistakes as compile-time errors
Netty - Netty project - an event-driven asynchronous network application framework
infer - A static analyzer for Java, C, C++, and Objective-C
unirest-java - Unirest in Java: Simplified, lightweight HTTP client library.
Spotbugs - SpotBugs is FindBugs' successor. A tool for static analysis to look for bugs in Java code.
gRPC - The Java gRPC implementation. HTTP/2 based RPC
FindBugs - The new home of the FindBugs project
Undertow - High performance non-blocking webserver
Checkstyle - Checkstyle is a development tool to help programmers write Java code that adheres to a coding standard. By default it supports the Google Java Style Guide and Sun Code Conventions, but is highly configurable. It can be invoked with an ANT task and a command line program.
