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.

Ohm: A library and language for building parsers, interpreters, compilers, etc.
How does this compare with Chevrotain[1]?
More specifically, can I build lexers with Ohm? Can it generate a syntax diagram from a grammar?

Why are you building a programming language?
I don't think I'll have time to make one any time soon, unfortunately. My original plan was to write a compiler in TypeScript using Chevrotain, and see if it's possible to compile down to TypeScript's AST and feed that into its own compiler programmatically. Basically piggybacking on Microsoft's hard work (work smart, not hard). I don't know if it's possible, but it's what I'd try first.

The 3 languages question
my own language Star! enjoyability is one of my main goals with the language, along with the "powerful, productive, and predictable" line
-
Language Design: Against Mixed-cased Type Names
This is actually done by several bootstrapped languages, such as Crystal, Nim, Raku, and even my own language Star

Your language's favorite MINOR feature?
In Star, commas and newlines are analogous everywhere, even inside array literals. This actually solves the issue of trailing commas by not needing commas at all

Building a new .NET language, doing to C# what Kotlin did to Java
I really like Nemerle's OOP+FP hybrid model, and I've taken a lot of it to heart while designing my language Star, which is similar in spirit.
-
extending enums
Most languages are afraid to for some reason, most likely because it "breaks tradition" or whatever. The only languages I'm aware of that allow this are Hack (for C-like enums) and my language Star (for both C-like and OCaml-like enums)
-
Is there a language with structural type constraints for variants and records?
It's currently a work-in-progress, mainly due to subtyping issues with generics (which I'm honestly too lazy to fix rn, focusing on other stuff first). the code is located here, although be aware that it's a bit messy lol

November 2021 monthly "What are you working on?" thread
Making lots of progress on Star's typechecker, which has been very difficult due to its expansive type system. Although still not completely finished or useable, it does at least work a bit. Currently need to implement type variable expansion/substitution, "lazy" type refinement (because I have no clue what else to call it), and some basic support for existentials
-
Initially-nullable types
I think this is referred to as partial or lazy initialization. I have this feature in my own language Star (which us null-safe), but I don't have an actual null literal for this purpose

Programming Language Checklist
Sure I guess, here's one for Star: ``` You appear to be advocating a new: [X] functional [X] imperative [X] object-oriented [ ] procedural [ ] stack-based [X] "multi-paradigm" [ ] lazy [ ] eager [X] statically-typed [ ] dynamically-typed [ ] pure [X] impure [ ] non-hygienic [ ] visual [X] beginner-friendly [ ] non-programmer-friendly [ ] completely incomprehensible programming language. Your language will not work. Here is why it will not work.
