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.

The case against an alternative to C
Made this C lib for exactly the reasons you mention. I love C but got mad at the constant bounds errors and copying.

Proposal for a full-fledged C String
Dynamic allocation, SSO, views, refcounting, etc.. are spread on various implementations.
C++ separates string and string_view. And they're not fully compatible. (Ex. you can't concat cross-type !?).
Rust has str, &str, String Box, ... ?
In the spirit of "a slice of a string is still a string", why not pack it all into a single type ? And offer security in the process.
Here's the scheme : https://github.com/alcover/buffet/raw/main/assets/schema.png

Bun, JavaScript, and TCO
To use this in Bun, you’d have to start Bun with the environment variable “BUN_JSC_useDollarVM=1” and then $vm.createBuiltin(mySourceCodeString)
When using this intrinsic, if any of the arguments are incorrect or it cannot otherwise enable it, the entire process will probably crash. In debug builds of JSC it will have a nicer assertion failure but that is not enabled in release builds
Example code: https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/blob/17351231b4dedb62d81721...
also happy to answer any questions about Bun

Show HN: Rem: Remember Everything (open source)
Ah, good, let me introduce you to the wonderful world of the Chrome Devtools Protocol! (fka Chrome Remote Debugging Protocol)
I love this API for almost everything browser related. I built my RBI product atop this (BrowserBox: https://dosyago.com), and I think it's a drastically underrated API.
Also, it works out of the box in Edge, Brave, Chromium, and many parts of CRDP are supported by Firefox and Safari^1
