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.

Gearing up for Lua
If you're familiar with awesome-lists, you'll be happy to know that an awesome-lua repository does in fact exist. This list contains more interesting stuff about the language, along with going deeper into certain niches that I'm not even going to start to touch.

What's your opinion on Lua programming language?
Lua has a lot going for it. Its memory footprint is nicely small, its practical expressiveness is quite high (though not as high as Python's or Perl's), luajit's runtime performance is very good for such a highly-expressive language, and it has a great set of libraries integrating with a lot of commonly-used services.

Advice to Aimless, Excited Programmers (2010)
I believe there is a way to accomplish this without seeking input from people on Reddit or message boards for new domains to contribute to.
There are lists on Github that curate libraries native to a particular programming language. For example, there is a list for Lua (https://github.com/LewisJEllis/awesome-lua) and another for Python (https://github.com/vinta/awesome-python). Explore these lists to identify areas that may require assistance. Some of these lists have not been updated for years, so it is worthwhile to conduct additional research on the domain before undertaking a project.
I have personally completed a project using this approach, although I did have some background knowledge in that domain.

Where do I go after learning lua?
This was a list I got in my mind without googling... for more inspiration and see what others are doing take a look at awesome Lua: https://github.com/LewisJEllis/awesome-lua
- Library support situation?

there seems to be an alarmingly small amount of support for lua compared with other programming languages
Check out awesome-love2d on github, there's tons of libraries for all sorts of stuff including UI. Also check out awesome-lua.

Any good Lua Modules out there ?
So I’m 100% not the person to ask but usually the “awesome” lists on GitHub are a good place to start. Here is the awesome-lua repo for example.

Building a Wordle Clone with Lua! 🕹
If you're new to the 12 in 24 series, I'm learning and building projects with a new programming language every month - this month, it's the Lua scripting language. You can find source code for the projects I build in the official GitHub repository (check it out, this week's folder contains code for both this and two other bonus projects!).

Gearing up for Lua
This month, we're talking about Lua. It's not always a first choice when it comes to programming, but I think there's a lot to enjoy about this little language. Heck, I'm a big game development fan myself - I would look into it even if that was the only reason to.

How do you like code documentation inline in the source code vs. as separate guides, or how would you do it?
I think Lua is a good example of doing documentation well. The source code is commented only as much as needed, mainly with brief comments about things that might not be obvious and a small number of longer explanations of how the architecture works (mainly relevant to developers). It also has a super nice feature that's surprisingly rare: each file has a very short line at the top that describes what the file is, so you don't have to guess based on the filename alone. The API is documented in a single HTML file on the website that has both the high level descriptions of the language and architecture, as well as documentation for each public-facing function. The docs are maintained by hand, but the API is mostly stable, so the docs don't need to change very often.
