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.

Borgo is a statically typed language that compiles to Go
The sibling pretty much sums it up. But if you want more detail, read on:
Generally, there are three publishing options that each make sense depending on scenario:
JIT + host runtime: by definition portable, includes slim launcher executable for convenience, the platform for which can be specified with e.g. -r osx-arm64[0].
JIT + self-contained runtime: this includes IL assemblies and runtime together, either within a single file or otherwise (so it looks like AOT, just one bin/exe). These requires specifying RID, like in the previous option.
AOT: statically linked native binary, cross-OS compilation is not supported officially[1] because macOS is painful in general, and Windows<->Linux/FreeBSD is a configuration nightmare - IL AOT Compiler depends on Clang or MSVC and a native linker so it is subject to restrictions of those as a start. But it can be done and there are alternate, more focused toolchains, that offer it, like Bflat[1].
If you just want a hello world AOT application, then the shortest path to that is `dotnet new console --aot && dotnet publish -o {folder}`.

Native AOT Overview
I've been wondering how to integrate modern .NET Core into a custom build system (buck2) and was wondering similar things. There's this project I think is cool called bflat[1] that basically makes the C# compiler more like the Go compiler in the sense it's a one-shot single-use tool that can cross compile binaries natively. It's done by one of the people on the .NET Runtime team as a side project, but quite neat.
I think in practice you're supposed to compile whole .dll's or assemblies all at once, which acts as the unit of compilation; I don't think the csharp compiler generates native object-files-for-every-.cs, the kind of approach you'd expect from javac or g++. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong though! I'd like to learn more about this.

If you were stuck on a remote island, would you pick C# as your programming language
You can compile without a GC using https://github.com/bflattened/bflat

Hey people, made a game for my CS homework as a freshman using C#, what do you guys think about it?
nice. have you tried compile it using https://github.com/bflattened/bflat to have native executable? as long as you don't have PackgeReference it can be compiled using bflat instead of full dotnet

A "Tiny" APISIX Plugin
Reading through the documentation, you will understand why this plugin is called "tiny," i.e., the SDK uses the TinyGo compiler instead of the official Go compiler. You can read more about why this is the case on the SDK\'s overview page, but the TLDR version is that the Go compiler can only produce Wasm binaries that run in the browser.

What's Zig got that C, Rust and Go don't have? [video]
Not only you can fit Go into a kernel, there is at least two products that do so.
TamaGo, used to write the firmware used in USB armory.
https://www.withsecure.com/en/solutions/innovative-security-...
TinyGo, which even has official Arduino and ARM support, and is sponsored by Google
https://tinygo.org/
Ah but that isn't proper Go! Well neither is the C code that is allowed to be used in typical kernel code, almost nothing from ISO C standard library is available, and usually plenty of compiler specific language extensions are used instead.

Show HN: A new stdlib for Golang focusing on platform native support
Reminds me of https://tinygo.org/ - a project that brings Golang to embedded devices, browser (wasm) contexts. Do you converge or diverge from that project?

Pico with C
You should also consider TinyGo. It can compile Go for the Pico, and is starting to get good device support.

Rust 1.71.0
Thankfully some folks completly ignored whatever the rest of the world thinks system programming is all about and created:
- TinyGo (https://tinygo.org/), which is acknowledged by people in the industry[0][1]
- TamaGo unikernel on USB Armory secure key (https://www.withsecure.com/de/solutions/innovative-security-...)
And then there is the question if writing compilers, assemblers, linkers is systems programming or not.

When would you (not) recommend Go over Rust?
Have you seen TinyGo? In the case of embedded system I would probably still chose C over Rust if the system didn't support dynamic memory allocation, and most embedded systems do not.

WebAssembly System Interface (WASI) with sockets for Go
Gist link fixed, thanks. Compared to TinyGo, Go with GOOS=wasip1 will probably generate larger artifacts (at least, for now). This is because it bundles the entire Go runtime. The benefit is that it fully supports goroutine scheduling and non-blocking I/O. TinyGo (I believe) still uses a custom asyncify pass and does not support non-blocking I/O nor basic WASI networking (e.g. https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/pull/2748 never landed, but GOOS=wasip1 supports it).
