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.

Ask HN: How to get a job as a compiler engineer?
MLIR (https://mlir.llvm.org/) is a quickly growing compiler toolkit which attempts to synthesize the learnings of LLVM and currently powers compilers for programming languages, machine learning and circuit design (https://github.com/llvm/circt). and there are a ton of companies with real employees working on it (including Microsoft) and MLIR is at the core of Chris Lattner’s new company, ModularAI. I’d recommend taking a look at it, there are a large number of ways to get involved and a number of paths from contributor to employee.

Chris Lattner and others are currently working on an "industry" version of firrtl as part of the CIRCT hardware compiler framework: https://github.com/llvm/circt

Chisel/Firrtl Hardware Compiler Framework
Did you see the work being done on CIRCT? https://github.com/llvm/circt
I remember one of the reasons you did not want to use firrtl was that its compiler is implemented in Scala and thus hard to integrate into other projexts. CIRCT will solve that problem by providing a firrtl compiler implemented in C++. Other languages like Verilog/VHDL and new high level languages for HLS-like designs are also on the todo list.

Introducing CoHDL
At the moment, it is not possible to directly simulate synthesizable contexts. In principle, I could add a simulator to CoHDL. As a Python implementation, it would be orders of magnitude slower than other solutions. Instead, I am using Cocotb to validate the generated VHDL and for the unit tests in the GitHub repository. There is also some very, very experimental support for formal verification, but it will take some time for that to become usable.

Trying to learn and work with FPGAs
On the topic of simulation, you don't have to restrict yourself to using Verilog or VHDL to write your test benches. For example, Verilator lets you write them in C++, cocotb lets you use Python, and if you use SpinalHDL you will drive the underlying simulator using Scala.

Help understanding how this makefile works?
I know it might be difficult without much context, but this makefile is called by a top level makefile. very confused if lines 35-74 do anything. They seem to be a mix of real makefile syntax and just straight up comments. what do these lines do?

AXI-Stream meme
Also consider cocotb, this thread has some compelling arguments. I'd say as a student, learning industry tools isn't necessarily the best thing you could spend your time on. Getting fast at design AND verification, where you can maintain flow state and run better microexperiments means you will understand more, faster.
