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.

eCAL ipc framework
New version (5.94) of the high performance interprocess / interhost communication framework eCAL is available. eCAL supports different transport layer like shared memory for interprocess and udp multicast for interhost communication. It does not force the user to use a specific serialization format but supports some of the standards like google protobuf, capnproto or flatbuffers. The API is wrapped to C, C++, Python, C#, Rust and Go (the last two I never tested ;-)). Here you can find all the documentation. Check out the great applications for monitoring, record and replay. eCAL is Apache 2 licensed, repository hosted here. Have fun :-)
- eCAL 5.9.4 released

Should I run ROS on windows, through WSL or on linux with dual boot?
I you just need a fast publish / subscribe framework for windows you can give eCAL a try. The setup is done in less a minute and their is no dependency hell. Just to mention it as alternative. Documentation here

Google Protobuf vs JSON vs [insert candidate here]
I would concider using eCAL since it blasts everything out of the water in terms of performance and comes with some handy tooling for inspection of messages in-travel.

grpc_bench: open-source, objective gRPC benchmark
This really makes me want to try https://github.com/continental/ecal with https://github.com/google/flatbuffers to see how they compare. I also know that gpc for cpp at least stops functioning by about 4 MB of request size. Which I find stupid. What if I want to send uncompressed bitmaps!

Announcing Eclipse iceoryx 1.0.0
Congratulations. Well done. eCAL will update as soon as possible to the new release. The new custom header and the n:m pub/sub support are really welcome new features.

Open source developers that work outside of a full time job, what motivates you?

Bitsery
- What are some ways I can serialize objects?
-
Introducing ByteStream, a super intuitive, safe, reliable and easy to use utility for binary serialisation and deserialization of complex and deeply nested C++ objects. Looking forward to feedback and comments.
Thanks for sharing https://github.com/fraillt/bitsery it seems more powerful but require quite a boilerplate code for even very simple composite stuff. With ByteStream you can totally forget about deep you are in the data-structure hierarchy.
- Is there any good binary serializer & deserializer for C / C++?
-
Binary serialization library for at least C++17?
Bitsery is the closest I've seen to it, but you have to use extensions (which i can't yet figure out the API for) to make it achieve byte for byte compatbility

Google Protobuf vs JSON vs [insert candidate here]
If size and performance matter, then take a look at bitsery. * it might be 9x+ faster than cereal and 18x faster than protobuf. * size-wise, you might save 20-30% by default * on top of that you additional might opt-in into: * bit-level serialization control (e.g. if your values are in the range 1000-2000 it will take you 10bits, or use VLE) * backward-forward compatibility support * pointer support, including raw pointers with the ability to provide custom allocator. * and powerful extensions system, which allows you to further customize things in any way you want it :)

easy Serialization library for C++?
About on par with nlohmann is a binary serialization lib called Bitsery. It's easy to use, and will be a lot more performant than json. The downside is that the serialized data won't be human readable.
What are some alternatives?

Protobuf - Protocol Buffers - Google's data interchange format
iceoryx - Eclipse iceoryxâ„¢ - true zero-copy inter-process-communication
smf - Fastest RPC in the west
gRPC - The C based gRPC (C++, Python, Ruby, Objective-C, PHP, C#)
cereal - A C++11 library for serialization
