The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
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.

Good resources to find new and in development programming languages?
https://github.com/ChessMax/awesome-programming-languages seems pretty good. I would love to have some kind of sorting and filtering options, but it is definitely very comprehensive and actively maintained.

Seeking Language Project to Join
There are hundreds of awesome programming languages out there. You are to choose what's more suitable for your goals and interests. Many languages are looking for contributors, testers and so on. Just give it a try.

May 2022 monthly "What are you working on?" thread
Continue working on collecting awesome PLs. Want to say many thanks to all contributors. You are all cool. One of the contributors added 30 PLs to the list. It's incredible. Now the list contains 178 languages. And it's huge. The more will come later. Stay tuned! As always I'm open to any help/contributions (PRs or issue or even ideas).

Do transpilers just use a lot of string manipulation and concatenation to output the target language?
But, you still seem hung up on this, so here’s actual code: https://github.com/amw-zero/sligh/blob/main/lib/codegen.ml.

Thoughts on the Rascal meta-programming language
Of course. Here was the first incarnation: https://github.com/amw-zero/sligh. It has a decent overview of the idea in the readme. To sum it up here, the idea is: have a language built around model-driven development and model-based testing, where you write a simple model of an application, and the implementation and model-based tests are compiled for you. I wrote about the overall model-based testing strategy here. This idea comes from self-certifying compilers that produce proofs of their correctness such as Cogent, but we drop the formality requirement and use property-based testing to compare the implementation and model.

What modern and mature language does both general purpose and data persistence ?
Honorable mention - I’m working on a language with similar goals: Sligh, and I’ve written about why I think it’s such a compelling idea before as well too.

April 2022 monthly "What are you working on?" thread
In Sligh, I spent most of the last month introducing a new intermediate representation to make tier splitting (choosing if code should live on the client or server) easier. My goal was to enable derived data, as in a model that queries other models for its data and combines them by processing them in memory. I've been using the example of a personal finance application, so imagine:

A list of new budding programming languages and their interesting features?
The language that I work on is Sligh, and it's out of the bulleted list because it's nowhere near as mature as any of those that I listed, and I'm more of a verification enthusiast vs. expert. Almost all of the ideas in it are borrowed from somewhere else, but I think the one quasi-unique idea is it allows you to write a pure logical description / specification of an application, and it generates full-stack web application code from that.

February 2022 monthly "What are you working on?" thread
So tactically it’s currently a source-to-source compiler, where in the source language (my language) you denote the system state transitions, i.e. by writing create!, update!, etc, and those get compiled to corresponding client and server code in the target language (JS for now, but hoping to support WebAssembly in the future). Heres an example program. The compiler source is there too. I’m hacking it together right now, so it’s not my finest work :D
