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 Track Down Memory Leaks in Ruby | AppSignal Blog
I recently ditched bindata for a self written solution because I couldn't figure out why exactly it leaks memory. According to count objects it creates a shit ton of classes if you read a lot of data and idk why

Help Finding Material for Decoding Hex Files
"Writing an entire custom program" is the best way. Ruby has a nice package called bindata (https://github.com/dmendel/bindata) that works well for this purpose.

Newb here: have you written your own web server? Seeking advice
For example, I enjoy sim racing, and some of my games provide a network API for things like telemetry data. So I wrote a simple telemetry logger that I use to gather data, which I then mess around with using R Studio. Ruby worked exceptionally well for this because of a cool little library called BinData.

Ruby Structs with type specifications for the properties
These projects always remind me of binary formats. I've used bindata to work with binary formats coming from UDP streams over a network, and it's very handy to have a layer that encapsulates your expectations about the data you're receiving, combined with an exception handling apparatus.

A decent VS Code and Ruby on Rails setup
I saw no mention of RBS+Steep, the latter providing a LSP. I use it a lot and very much like it, although it's still young and needs love, but it's making good, steady progress! I've been very pleasantly surprised by some of the crazy things Steep can catch, completely statically!
You appear to be working on projects with Sorbet (which I tried to like but found it fell short in practice, notably outside of the app use case i.e it's mostly useless for gems) so it may be a tall order to try on those. Maybe you can give RBS+Steep a shot on some small project?

What it was like working for Gitlab
I don't know what you mean by "Static typing is not webscale".
> https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39159481
Bugs exist in all code written in all programming languages and you will find bugs in programs written in statically typed languages too as you know. Programming languages are rarely chosen for the absense of bugs alone though or we'd all be using SPARK Ada or something.
> spitting out code as fast as your keyboard works, or is is not having features do weirdo things
This is a straw man. No-one has suggested that "spitting out code as fast as your keyboard works" is what Rails allows you to do, or that Ruby code results in features that "do weirdo things".
In reality engineer productivity is important and Rails enables it in a web environment.
> I have more than once tried to contribute fixes to GitLab's codebase, and every time I open the thing in RubyMine it hurpdurps having no earthly idea where symbols come from or what completions are legal in any given context.
Yes, I prefer writing statically typed languages and I would /greatly/ prefer Ruby to be statically typed for a number of reasons, but it will likely never be so in a way I consider to be usable (see https://github.com/ruby/rbs). Not being able to definitively tell what a method returns or where one is defined is a total PITA, but it's one of the array of up and downsides to Ruby, with each language having a different set.
> I trust JetBrains analysis deeply, so if they can't deduce what's going on, then it must take an impressive amount of glucose to memorize every single surface area one needs to implement a feature.
You don't need to know how all of Rails works to write a Rails app, as I'm sure you know, so this seems like another mis-representation of the truth, just as you don't need to know how the compiler or CPUs work to do a lot of (most?) programming.
> That or, hear me out, maybe "it works on my machine" is a close to correct as the language is going to get without explicit type hints as a pseudo static typing
You seem to be suggesting that Ruby on Rails applications behave unpredictably on a machine to machine basis but that's not really how Ruby works in practice, or matching on my experience.

Is anyone using RBS?
Is anyone using RBS? Or, is it still half-baked? I haven't seen any recent posts about it this year. Though, I see the repo has some recent activity.

RBS introduced manifest.yaml
Currently rbs collection resolves stdlib dependencies, but rbs -r LIB option doesn't resolve them unfortunately. For instance, logger depends on monitor, but rbs -r logger doesn't load monitor.
