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.

The Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) - What Is It and How to Make Business on It?
hevm - written in Haskel
-
Solidity ForwardProxy: easily emulate EOAs in environments where they are not availabe or are cumbersome to use.
However, since we are using a pure Solidity stack, writing tests with ds-test and running them with dapp.tools or foundry, this was a bit more complicated.

Jo – a shell command to create JSON
There's also jshon which is a simple stack-based DSL for constructing JSON from shell scripts.
http://kmkeen.com/jshon/
It's written in C and is not actively developed. The latest commit, it seems, was a pull request from me back in 2018 that fixed a null-termination issue that led to memory corruption.
Because I couldn't rely on jshon being correct, I rewrote it in Haskell here:
https://github.com/dapphub/dapptools/tree/master/src/jays
This is also not developed actively but it's a single simple ~200 line Haskell program.

Building Smart Contracts with Foundry by Paradigm
It fits into the stack the same way that Hardhat, Truffle, and Dapp Tools do.

What are best practices for testing/ci+cd for solidity?
I find it insane that much of Solidity code testing is still happening in external languages. I've recently found https://github.com/dapphub/dapptools and that has blown a lot of my confusion away.
-
What development tools do you guys use?
Honourable mention would be https://github.com/dapphub/dapptools for those who prefer UNIX-like tooling, but I'd say for the most part Foundry seems to be the better choice now.

The State of Coordination, Community, and Future Impact
Firstly, I'm warning you that I'm going to shill some amazing things in the Ethereum ecosystem. I would even go so far to say as some of these things are so positive sum and self-evidently public goods that shilling them in the ethereum subreddit should be considered neutral. For example, GitcoinDAO is a place where we all have the permissionless ability to coordinate in building tools and services, like dapptools, for all open-source software, full stop. There's ways to fundraise in public besides joining Discord or sliding into Twitter DM's, like Juicebox. There is a plethora of industry leaders exploring decentralized hosting for bluechip-scale applications, such as Skynet.

Apple releases Pkl – onfiguration as code language
Fail to see how this is any different than Dhall (https://dhall-lang.org/) other than it produces plists too.

Pkl, a Programming Language for Configuration
Kubernetes config is a decent example. I had ChatGPT generate a representative silly example -- the content doesn't matter so much as the structure:
https://gist.github.com/cstrahan/528b00cd5c3a22e3d8f057bb1a7...
Now consider 100s (if not 1000s) of such files.
I haven't given Pkl an in depth look yet, but I can say that the Industry Standard™ of "simple YAML" + string substitution (with delicate, error prone indentation -- since YAML is indentation sensitive) is easily beat by any of:
- https://jsonnet.org/
- https://nickel-lang.org/
- https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/language/index.html
- https://dhall-lang.org/
- (insert many more here, probably including Pkl)

Is Htmx Just Another JavaScript Framework?
There are underpowered languages / tools, that can only solve a problem for which they are intended poorly. But not all limited tools are like that.
Say, eBPF is prominently not Turing-complete, which allows to guarantee that a eBPF program terminates, and even how soon. Still eBPF is hugely useful in its area.
Or, say, regular expressions are limited to regular languages; in particular, they famously [1] cannot process recursive structures, like trees. Still tools like grep / ag / rg are mightily useful.
Yes, I agree that YAML is underpowered for proper k8s configuration! But it's also too powerful for its own good in other aspects [2]. I wish Google used Dhall [3] or their own purely functional config language (FCL? I already forgot the name) instead of YAML; sadly, they did not.

10 Ways for Kubernetes Declarative Configuration Management
Dhall: Dhall is a programmable configuration language that combines features like JSON, functions, types, and import capabilities. Its style leans towards functional programming, so if you're familiar with functional-style languages such as Haskell, you might find Dhall to be quite intuitive.

Berry is a ultra-lightweight dynamically typed embedded scripting language
I've been thinking along these lines but more 'strongly validated' than statically typed in the sense that you'd be better off being able to load the entire config and then produce a list of problems (and should be able to offer good editor support if done correctly).
Though https://dhall-lang.org/ demonstrates that you can statically type quite a lot of configuration to great advantage, which appears to be programmatically embeddable in multiple languages per https://docs.dhall-lang.org/howtos/How-to-integrate-Dhall.ht...

What Is the Point of Decidability
> Where practical is in the sense of an engineer (or in their terms, a CS practitioner),
Configuration processing. E.g. I'd like my yamls to be decidable, though I'd settle for guaranteed to halt[1].

What Is Wrong with TOML?
Maybe you'd like jsonnet: https://jsonnet.org/
I find it particularly useful for configurations that often have repeated boilerplate, like ansible playbooks or deploying a bunch of "similar-but" services to kubernetes (with https://tanka.dev).
Dhall is also quite interesting, with some tradeoffs: https://dhall-lang.org/
A few years ago I did a small comparison by re-implementing one of my simpler ansible playbooks: https://github.com/retzkek/ansible-dhall-jsonnet
