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: Who is developing a programming language that compiles to C?
https://github.com/dbohdan/compilers-targeting-c
I'm long time fan of programming languages that compiles to C hoping that one day will fall in love with one endlessly! :-)
-
C as a IL (Obstacles? Libraries?)
Somehow related: a list of open source compilers that can generate C code.

rust in kernel?
If we need a higher-level language in the kernel, it should be a copyfree-licensed language. Lua is already the language of choice for in-kernel scripting. There are many languages that compile to C (Nim, V, Chicken Scheme, etc), which makes them just as fast but a lot less bloated than Rust.
-
Is there any alternatives to Clang?
Sadly the best alternative to Apache-licensed LLVM is still LLVM version 8 (the last version under the original license). It should continue to compile well-written C programs (including everything in BSD base), as well as languages that compile to C (Nim, V, Chicken Scheme, etc). But newer C++ features, new hardware support, and ever-improving optimizations would not be available. This would result in a growing number of ports pulling in the latest LLVM/clang as a dependency...

What softwares do you recommend to a daily use BSD system?
I still use llvm80 (8.0.1_7) (mainly as the Nim / V / Chicken / etc backend), because it's the last Copyfree version, before the switch to Apache license.

Things I've learned about building CLI tools in Python
Fingers crossed for vlang[0]. It's like golang with better types and more syntactic sugar. Feels like a proper upgrade from Python.
I really hope they succeed.

Ah, Go, with its simple and straightforward syntax, where things just make sense (most of the time, before generics were added)
And again a No true Scotsman. If that's the kind of attitude you have towards languages, you'll appreciate V infinitely more than you might be appreciating Rust. After all, it offers better solutions than Rust, like autofree, they just aren't there yet :)
-
Why is Vlang's autofree model not more widely used?
I discovered VLang today. It's an interesting project.

Seed7 version 2023-05-29 released on GitHub and SF
According to their own benchmarks, Seed7 can run faster than C (it compiles to C, but it's entirely possible the emited code is better optimized than a human could write directly in C)... it doesn't have a GC BUT manages memory automatically (I didn't really follow the explanation in the FAQ, something about automatically freeing variables that go out of scope and keeping only one reference around?)... that's like a current pipe dream for language designers! From https://vale.dev/ to https://vlang.io/, no one has pulled that off yet, to my knowledge... has Seed7 done that all those years ago?!
