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.

Wasm-bpf: Build and run eBPF programs in WebAssembly
Cross-language support for over 30 programming languages for eBPF user space programs

I think [...] the "future of computing" is going to be [...] CISC. I’ve read of IBM mainframes that have [hardware instructions for] parsing XML [...]; if you had garbage collection, bounds checking, and type checking in hardware, you’d have fewer and smaller instructions that achieved just as much.

Nvidia Security Team: “What if we just stopped using C?”
Just about every language can compile or transpile to WASM:

Build a Shopify Function using AssemblyScript
There are also curated lists of languages that compile down to Wasm available on Github, so there is a ton of opportunity to choose your own adventure.

We're working on a new WASM/Rust scripting system. Here I'm playing around with a script that changes the day/night cycle.
My current plans are to investigate TinyGo / C# NativeAOT-LLVM / other languages that can compile to Wasm once our host side stabilises a little bit (lots of churn right now!)

helix - A post-modern modal text editor
It’s planned to use WASM, which would allow to use basically any language you’d want (ok, any lang having a WASM compiler or VM), including Lua.

Fun with Rust
While waiting for placement at Andela, I started something. I wanted to create a community of developers who had already worked on WebAssembly projects in the past. A bit of a back story is in order now. During my exploratory phase before I settled for web development, Web Assembly was announced. So on a whim, I created a Repo to keep track of languages that compile to web assembly. The repo ended up getting over three thousand stars. I honestly didn’t expect it to blow up as much as it did, but it did. That feat fueled my interest in Web Assembly. As I was saying, I wanted to gather Web Assembly developers together for a purpose - to create a common web assembly runtime, a canonical runtime. My attempt at community building didn’t go so well. I sent a couple of emails, and DMs to no avail, or so I thought. It was during this time that Syrus Akbary reached out to me, he pitched the idea he had to build an awesome web assembly runtime, Wasmer, and that he would want me to be involved. He was really excited, and so was I. The only thing was that he said he had to lay down some of the groundwork first. So he worked on it for about a month. Now that I think about it, I should have stuck to him while he laid down the work because when he showed me the progress he had made, I was awe-stricken, but also disadvantaged. A lot of work had been done. Here we were trying to build the web assembly runtime that would take the world by storm, but my knowledge of Rust was meager. Keeping up was hard. Eventually, I had to leave the project, he was incorporating Wasmer as a company, so relocation was being discussed but I wasn’t interested in going to the US. But I think the major deciding factor for me was that I didn’t really align with the management of the project.

Java 23: The New Features Are Officially Announced
Contrary to what vocal Kotlin advocates might believe, Kotlin only matters on Android, and that is thanks to Google pushing it no matter what.
https://spectrum.ieee.org/the-top-programming-languages-2023
https://snyk.io/reports/jvm-ecosystem-report-2021/
And even so, they had to conceed Android and Kotlin on their own, without the Java ecosystem aren't really much useful, thus ART is now updatable via Play Store, and currently supports OpenJDK 17 LTS on Android 12 and later devices.
As for your question regarding numbers, mostly Java 74.6%, C++ 13.7%, on the OpenJDK, other JVM implementations differ, e.g. GraalVM is mostly Java 91.8%, C 3.6%.

Apple releases Pkl – onfiguration as code language
Pkl was built using the GraalVM Truffle framework. So it supports runtime compilation using Futurama Projections. We have been working with Apple on this for a while, and I am quite happy that we can finally read the sources!

Live Objects All the Way Down: Removing the Barriers Between Apps and VMs
That's pretty interesting. It's not as aggressive as Bee sounds, but the Espresso JVM is somewhat similar in concept. It's a full blown JVM written in Java with all the mod cons, which can either be compiled ahead of time down to memory-efficient native code giving something similar to a JVM written in C++, or run itself as a Java application on top of another JVM. In the latter mode it obviously doesn't achieve top-tier performance, but the advantage is you can easily hack on it using all the regular Java tools, including hotswapping using the debugger.
When run like this, the bytecode interpreter, runtime system and JIT compiler are all regular Java that can be debugged, edited, explored in the IDE, recompiled quickly and so on. Only the GC is provided by the host system. If you compile it to native code, the GC is also written in Java (with some special conventions to allow for convenient direct memory access).
What's most interesting is that Espresso isn't a direct translation of what a classical C++ VM would look like. It's built on the Truffle framework, so the code is extremely high level compared to traditional VM code. Details like how exactly transitions between the interpreter/compiled code happen, how you communicate pointer maps to the GC and so on are all abstracted away. You don't even have to invoke the JIT compiler manually, that's done for you too. The only code Espresso really needs is that which defines the semantics of the Java bytecode language and associated tools like the JDWP debugger protocol.
https://github.com/oracle/graal/tree/master/espresso
This design makes it easy to experiment with new VM features that would be too difficult or expensive to implement otherwise. For example it implements full hotswap capability that lets you arbitrarily redefine code and data on the fly. Espresso can also fully self-host recursively without limit, meaning you can achieve something like what's described in the paper by running Espresso on top of Espresso.

Level-up your Java Debugging Skills with on-demand Debugging
Apologies, I didn't mean to imply DCEVM went poof, just that I was sad it didn't make it into OpenJDK so one need not do JDK silliness between the production one and the "debugging one" since my experience is that's an absolutely stellar way to produce Heisenbugs
And I'll be straight: Graal scares me 'cause Oracle but I just checked and it looks to the casual observer that it's straight-up GPLv2 now so maybe my fears need revisiting: https://github.com/oracle/graal/blob/vm-23.1.0/LICENSE
