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.

Running the "Reflections on Trusting Trust" Compiler
The C4 compiler [https://github.com/rswier/c4] is a self-hosting compiler for a subset of the C programming language that produces executable x86 code. You can understand and audit this code in a couple of hours (its 528 lines).
It could be an interesting exercise to bootstrap up from something like this to a working linux environment based solely on source code compilation : no binary inputs. Of course a full linux environment has way too much source code for one person or team to audit, but at least it rules out RoTT style binary compiler contamination.

Flattening ASTs (and Other Compiler Data Structures)
I was surprised to see nodes still have two pointers ("references") given that you now know that that the first pointer will always point exactly to the next node. I've see https://github.com/rswier/c4 use that. Granted it doesn't make for the most readable code, but it's even smaller and faster.

vermin_vm: Virtual Machine(~400 lines) + Assembler(~800 lines) written in C
VMs with simple instruction sets is a fun topic. Some years ago I got inspired by the amazing rswier/c4 compiler by Robert Swierczek and explored the smallest instruction set I could get away with to create VMs that could run non-trivial workloads.

Hand-optimizing the TCC code generator
C4 comes to mind (C in 4 functions), https://github.com/rswier/c4.
have you considered adding a backend for LLVM? perhaps a bit heavyweight, but it could be a good way to get C/C++, fortran, rust, etc. if that's something you'd like!

Some people of the Linux Community in a nutshell
I use Alpine Linux (no GNU bloat btw), dwm (Sucks less!), and I edit all my C (no bloat language) through busybox ed and compile my programs with (c4)[https://github.com/rswier/c4]

which programming language was used to make c++ compiler?
Keep in mind you can create a "usable" C compiler by yourself, and is doable in surprisingly low amount of code. Try https://github.com/rswier/c4/blob/master/c4.c
- What is the simplest self-compiling subset of C?

Storybook 8 Beta
First, we switched the default compiler for new projects from Babel to SWC (Speedy Web Compiler). SWC is dramatically faster than Babel and requires zero configuration. We’ll continue to support Babel in any project currently using it.

Implementing auth flow as fast as possible using NestJS
As the reference explains “**SWC** (Speedy Web Compiler) is an extensible Rust-based platform that can be used for both compilation and bundling. Using SWC with Nest CLI is a great and simple way to significantly speed up your development process.”

Ruby Outperforms C: Breaking the Catch-22
This is specifically about breaking the myth that performing expensive self-contained operations (e.g, parsing GraphQL) in a native extension (C, Rust, etc.) is always faster than the interpreted language.
The JS ecosystem has the same problem, people think rewriting everything in Rust will be a magic fix. In practice, there's always the problem highlighted in the post (transitioning is expensive, causes optimization bailouts), as well as the cost of actually getting the results back into Node-land. This is why SWC abandoned the JS API for writing plugins - constantly bouncing back and forth while traversing AST nodes was even slower than Babel (e.g https://github.com/swc-project/swc/issues/1392#issuecomment-...)

FTA: Fast TypeScript Analyzer
FTA is a TypeScript static analysis tool built on the speedy foundations of swc. FTA is fast; capable of analyzing more than 150 files per second on typical hardware, it offers a powerful addition to your code quality toolkit.

Show HN: Ezno, a TypeScript checker written in Rust, is now open source
Very cool! I'm curious, is this intended for dev tooling?
For example, I could see this (or something similar) being useful as the engine for a typescript language server that would be faster than the standard one
But if it's not aimed at 1:1 with tsc, would it be intended more for something like swc[1]?
Or what would you expect people to use this for, besides just being a cool project to learn from?

TypeScript team released an explorer for performance tuning
This is... good news, but I still cannot fathom using the default Typescript compiler for regular development. Seriously, leave the type-checking to your IDE and CICD chain, and switch to using tsx (https://www.npmjs.com/package/tsx) or swc (https://swc.rs/) and you will _immediately_ notice the difference in speed and productivity.
