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.

How to convert an enum to string in C++
I really like better_enums instead of magic_enums. There’s no limit on enum size with it: http://aantron.github.io/better-enums/
It was heavily used at a former employer of mine, so definitely a solid production-ready solution.

What C++ library do you wish existed but hasn’t been created yet?
IIRC I then switched to another library doing the same stuff: https://github.com/aantron/better-enums It is not as magical, as it uses a special macro to define the enum, using dedicated syntax. So it only works for enums you yourself define. However, it did work a lot better for me with enums with huge values.

Behind the magic of magic_enum
I can't keep up! First we have better enum, then some guy at a conference says we have to use wise enum instead, and now you speak of magic enum!
- What are some cool modern libraries you enjoy using?

let's all be chads
If you need a laugh today, look at Better Enums library for C++. If you thought moving from C to C++ would let you leave macros behind, think again! Enums in C++ still suck (a bit less than in C though), so someone built a library to help with that. And it's built on macros. So you can only have 64 entries per enum. And the library's code is barely readable.

Why are strings and IO so complicated?
CTRE (https://github.com/hanickadot/compile-time-regular-expressions) ranges::views (filter, transform, etc.) (C++20) str.find() + str.substr() freopen to stdin + cin >> extraction Parser libraries

What are thoughts on removing regular expression from the standard library?
There are suggestions that should be replaced by the high performance ctre implementation: https://github.com/hanickadot/compile-time-regular-expressions
-
What's the most hilarious use of operator overloading you've seen?
operator"" can be used in a similar way to expression templates (DSLs), where the type of the resulting expression is dependent on the string contents. For example ctre makes use of this to build efficient regular expression parsers, and kumi uses this in conjunction with operator[] to make tuple indexing quite elegant

It's easy, I swear! Once you learn a bit about it, you'll be amazed!
Check out https://github.com/hanickadot/compile-time-regular-expressions anything is possible 😂
-
Verify all characters are same except a few
Yes to regex, no to std::regex. Better to use CTRE. Something like "^Hello [0-9]+ how are you" should allow checking if there's a match
-
Constexpr regex parser!
You could compare your implementation with https://github.com/hanickadot/compile-time-regular-expressions and see if there are any ideas you can copy.
- Regex is comically slow. High performance alternatives? (Pattern matching for validation)
-
Regex shootout updated - hyperscan 1st, Rust 2nd, std::regex dead last
std::compile_time_regex would be a nice addition. Something similar to ctre https://github.com/hanickadot/compile-time-regular-expressions Simply letting the compiler generate all the regex parsing machinery at compile time.... And benefitting from compiler optimizations, vectorization, etc...

ctre
What are some alternatives?
C++ Format - A modern formatting library
RE2 - RE2 is a fast, safe, thread-friendly alternative to backtracking regular expression engines like those used in PCRE, Perl, and Python. It is a C++ library.
stb - stb single-file public domain libraries for C/C++
consteval-huffman - Compile-time Huffman coding compression using C++20
Klib - A standalone and lightweight C library
xorstr - heavily vectorized c++17 compile time string encryption.
American Fuzzy Lop - american fuzzy lop - a security-oriented fuzzer
neo-fun - Some library components that didn't quite fit anywhere else...
Cppcheck - static analysis of C/C++ code
constexpr-8cc - Compile-time C Compiler implemented as C++14 constant expressions
staticvec - Implements a fixed-capacity stack-allocated Vec alternative backed by an array, using const generics.
