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.

Go Dependency management in large company projects - How do you do it?
Hyper-large tech companies managing hyper-large monorepos using Bazel (google), buck (Facebook), please (thought machine), pants (Twitter, Foursquare & Square) enjoy them but also have a lot of resources devoted to running and maintaining it.

Compiling a single-file app with csc.dll
We use Buck company wide. Our packaging / deployment system, for example, expects to be given a Buck target to build, not a pre-built binary - I can’t just build my app with dotnet and upload it. While it is possible for a Buck target to be a simple bash command (i.e dotnet publish), doing so makes the target “opaque” - Buck wouldn’t have any knowledge of my app’s build graph so I’d lose many of the benefits it gives us (incremental cached builds etc.)

Just: A Command Runner
Oh excellent, then better (and more portable!) tools are available:
http://pants.build
https://ninja-build.org
https://buck.build
and, if you hate yourself: https://bazel.build

Meta lays off 11,000 people
I’m feeling sorry for everyone affected.
Let’s hope that this isn’t going to impact Buck [0] too much. It’s one of the best things Facebook has ever made.

Using URLs for dependency management
Buck has a http_file() that you can use this way, and it has first-class support for Java.

Is it possible to be an android developer ONLY with the documentation?
That's a good bridge into saying that we don't use pretty much any standard tooling. Our build system is Buck, we use Mercurial instead of Git, and the IDE of choice seems to be Visual Studio (although Android Studio is supported, with some custom plugins required).
-
Best/Worst C++ IDE you have ever used?
Didn't know it was python based. Their github repo shows 90% of the code is java, only 2% is python. Regardless, C++ build systems should be written by people who are familiar with C++ and the specific problems they need to solve. That means the build system should be written in C++ or C and not in java, lua, or python. I certainly do not want to install python just to build my C++ programs in a CI environment, it just increases my build complexity and attack surface
- Are there any java build tools which have not been written in Java?, If not, what could be the reason?

Is anyone using TDD on a significant Android app? Any tips?
The landing page of https://buck.build/ explains some of the most basic stuff. This Meta Engineering blog post summarizes some of the deeper optimizations possible through buck: https://engineering.fb.com/2017/11/09/android/rethinking-android-app-compilation-with-buck/

Project idea possibility?
Just a little correction, none of facebook or instagram mobile app use react native. On android, facebook, messenger, and instagram use litho library (which facebook team has also developed)
-
Flutter 3
It seems unlikely that FB would give up on Litho, which is extremely performance focused, to use react native instead. Not for their bread & butter flagship news feed anyway https://fblitho.com/

Android/iOS Developers Working for Google or Facebook - Do you use Flutter or React Native?
I've seen some old conference talks from their team about https://fblitho.com/. I believe that what they use or at least used.

Is it possible to be an android developer ONLY with the documentation?
Facebook's internal android repository is still mostly Java, but there is a large push to switch to Kotlin, and Kotlin's internal support has grown dramatically over the last couple of years. Coroutines have recently been allowed (although I'm personally not a fan of that decision). Flow/Compose are not necessary as we have internal tools that do similar things (looking at you, Litho).
