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.

C++ Insights – See your source code with the eyes of a compiler
Sorry, I don't know about an Emacs plugin. All the plugins/extensions I'm aware of are listed in the Readme.md: https://github.com/andreasfertig/cppinsights/#c-insights--vi...
I'm happy to add an entry for Emacs once somebody develops a plugin for that editor.

C++20 Idioms for Parameter Packs
Thank you! This is exactly the sort of thing I was looking for.

Why does ![]{} equate to 0?
You can put it into https://cppinsights.io/ and see the conversions that happen under the hood.

Ask HN: Best way to learn C++ in 2022
> https://cppinsights.io/ it's a must so you can investigate what gets generated by templates behind the scenes.
> http://eel.is/c++draft/ bookmark this, you will need it!
Now, about books I would suggest the latest "A tour of C++" by Bjarne Stroustrup; it's ideal for experienced programmers that want to learn modern C++ rather fast.
Other books would be Scott Meyers' Effective Series, Andrei Alexandrescu and Herb Sutter are a must, and of course Jason Turner's "C++ Weekly" series [1]; of course apart from the books, the links I have originally shared are more than enough to cover everything around C++.

https://cppinsights.io/ it's a must so you can investigate what gets generated by templates behind the scenes.

Ask HN: Any tool to look C++ interpretation template form syntax to substitution
Try https://cppinsights.io. For example, go to https://cppinsights.io/s/8401262a and click the play button at the top left.
If you're doing something more complex, you might need metashell. See http://metashell.org/manual/how_to/index.html#see-what-templ.... But you have to really, deeply, love C++ to get much out of it.

- Can anyone recommend a good book/resource on C++/C++ compilers? With detailed discussions of what happens "under the hood".

I reduced (incremental) Rust compile times by up to 40%
I think this is unlikely to gain traction. I say that no to discourage you, just to explain.
- The community has an instinctive distrust of closed source or a compiler from an untrusted source. If you’re familiar with the Trusting Trust attack you’ll understand why.
- Dev tools in every language ecosystem are almost always free, unless they involve some kind of hosting. People aren’t used to opening their wallets. Look the experience of the guy who built the mold linker(https://github.com/rui314/mold). Far superior to the state of art, improves incremental compiles a lot, widely applicable across ecosystems (C, C++, Rust), CPU architectures and Operating Systems. You don’t even have to modify your compiler, just need to point to his linker. He’s even giving it away for free for personal use. But still, almost no one uses it. The inertia of the established options is really high.
- It’s not complex enough. Think about the complexity involved in the cranelift backend. No one can seriously recreate the efforts of bjorn3. If we could have, we would have. But the idea idea here can be recreated, especially by the experts who already built incremental compilation into rustc.
- But if your solution is truly complex, like the parallel frontend, the burden of maintaining a fork would be too high. You’d have to spend all your time rebasing.
Again I’m not trying to discourage you, just stating the difficulties of making a business in the dev tools space. You would be better off contributing this excellent work to the community and trying a different tack.

Monetizing Developer Tools
I assume this submission is trying to highlight the specific message (2023-01-24) : https://github.com/rui314/mold/issues/190#issuecomment-14028...
Fyi... the author wrote a more expansive blog post about selling dev tools a few months later (2023-06-06) and there was a related HN thread about it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36225016

Mold 2.0.0
I'm amazed at how quickly the author responds to requests: https://github.com/rui314/mold/issues/1057
From the report to the fix in less than two days.
I'm not sure how competitive it will be with lld, especially if we consider ThinLTO (which takes multiple minutes on 64-core machine) - it can make the advantages of mold insignificant.

Linking many files significantly increases build time. Is there an editor that allows you to write a single file but present the file to the screen as multiple 'virtual' files for better organization?
What other solutions have you tried for the problem of slow linking? You haven't even said which linker and what flags you're using. I haven't actually tried it, but the author of gold has an even faster linker called mold: https://github.com/rui314/mold

What are some alternatives?
LLVM-Guide - LLVM (Low Level Virtual Machine) Guide. Learn all about the compiler infrastructure, which is designed for compile-time, link-time, run-time, and "idle-time" optimization of programs. Originally implemented for C/C++ , though, has a variety of front-ends, including Java, Python, etc.
zld - A faster version of Apple's linker
lsif-clang - Language Server Indexing Format (LSIF) generator for C, C++ and Objective C
wasmtime - A fast and secure runtime for WebAssembly
GSL - Guidelines Support Library
osxcross - Mac OS X cross toolchain for Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD and Android (Termux)
gcem - A C++ compile-time math library using generalized constant expressions
zig - General-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal, and reusable software.
fccf - fccf: A command-line tool that quickly searches through C/C++ source code in a directory based on a search string and prints relevant code snippets that match the query.
chibicc - A small C compiler
Xoshiro-cpp - Header-only Xoshiro/Xoroshiro PRNG wrapper library for modern C++ (C++17/C++20)
sccache - Sccache is a ccache-like tool. It is used as a compiler wrapper and avoids compilation when possible. Sccache has the capability to utilize caching in remote storage environments, including various cloud storage options, or alternatively, in local storage.
