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.

Goto in Bash
It's a funny trick, but you could probably also use setjmp and longjmp with ctypes.sh :-)

Shared Libraries as Executables
rundll32.exe is just a way of doing FFI from as a command -- there are few different options on UNIX-likr systems for that. The most obvious is ctypes.sh [0].
There are, though, even more sophisticated options than just FFI, like the Witchcraft Compiler Collection [1], which includes among other things an interactive shell.

SWIG
- Swig – Connect C/C++ programs with high-level programming languages
- Using Lua with C++
-
Purego – A library for calling C functions from Go without Cgo
How is this any different than a mature tool such as SWIG (https://www.swig.org/)?
I've used SWIG extensively with Python to call C code and import C headers for testing/tooling purposes.

How does Golang communicate with C++?
For pure C, CGO. For C++ they are likely creating shims with Swig: https://www.swig.org/

I feel really dumb whenever I take a coding test for a job
I mostly write in C and C++ so for language bindings I use Swig a lot. Say Im creating a machine learning library in C++, its very easy to create a Python API that can call the C++ classes and methods using Swig. iirc, I am using the same swig interface file to create bindings for Python, OCaml, R and even Fortran. Feel free to DM me if you got any more questions or anything!

Is there a way to use a c++ project in a python project?
Swig can make c++ types and functions available to python.

Boxflow - A universal layout engine written in Zig
The likes of SWIG is often used to link C library-like code to 11-ish other widely used languages.

Hi, I have this program in C which I have to convert in Java(Android code), so that it could be used for decoding the output obtained from a Simulated program. Please help.
Maybe you could use swig to create a wrapper for Java.
