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.

May 2022 monthly "What are you working on?" thread
I have started looking into a frontend language. Not sure yet if I should roll my own or try to hook up Cwerg to an existing language. In any case that language should be a systems language similar to the ones described in awesome-low-level-programming-languages.

If Lua is faster and smaller than Python, while being just as powerful and capable, then why is Python so much more popular?
Funny, I am also in the market for a C++ alternative and had looked at Nim before. I felt it was a bit "kitchen-sinky" but I'll give it another shot. A comparison of system languages that came out of this effort can be found here: https://github.com/robertmuth/awesome-low-level-programming-languages

GCC always assumes aligned pointer accesses
If a --k&r mode was to be reliable, wouldn't it need to get specified first? Otherwise people would start relying on some edge case.
If speed is not a requirement for the --k&r mode, you could just take the tis-interpreter and note that if it runs without UB, it is still much faster than an actual computer was when k&r were active.
Would it even be possible to specify a variant of C that contains no UB (e.g. would define exactly what happens on unaligned access), but can compile practical existing C89 programs? I wonder if it could be written such that it could actually specify the behaviour consistently across the language intersection supported by both of e.g. GCC 2.95 and Chibicc[0].
Or maybe there are so many bugs in GCC 2.95 that it would simply be infeasible? How much time would it take to specify?

EU to vote regulation that has a considerable potential to hurt OSS
I was on the Eclipse Foundation call a few days ago regarding this topic and they said there was a well-established 3-part test for this in the EU courts. But I don't think I managed to take a screenshot, sorry.
Here is a snippet from the EU Blue Guide linked the from the Eclipse blog post:
"Commercial activity is understood as providing goods in a business related context. Non-profit organisations may be considered as carrying out commercial activities if they operate in such a context. This can only be appreciated on a case by case basis taking into account the regularity of the supplies, the characteristics of the product, the intentions of the supplier, etc. In principle, occasional supplies by charities or hobbyists should not be considered as taking place in a business related context."
I would consider GCC or React to fit this definition, while a hobby project like https://github.com/rui314/chibicc not to fit it.

Are Hoistings Possible for C++?
When you say a fork of LLVM, am I correct in assuming that you specifically mean a fork of Clang? I don't see how the compiler backend would affect support for language extensions, regardless of whether it's an exception to that such as Tcc, Cproc, the MIR C jitter, lacc, 8cc, 9cc, and chibicc. Most of those are not for production, excluding Cproc and Tcc (at least according to Suckless or Oasis).
