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.

What features would you want in a new programming language?
I started using a design by contract library for a Python project this year and it made my code safer and easier to use.
- deal: Design by contract for Python. Write bug-free code. Add a few decorators, get static analysis and tests for free.

Design By Contract
Have you used Design by Contract in Python projects before? I know that it isn't a first class feature of the language but I see some libraries out there (this one seems potentially promising). Just wondering what the pros and cons are when it comes to gluing DBC onto Python and if anyone can give a yea or nay to it.

Koka: A fast functional programming language with algebraic effects
This post by the Koka-author is an update about what's currently being worked on: https://github.com/koka-lang/koka/discussions/339
-
Not Use Path Based Imports
Some programming language like JS, use path-based imports, that's not good for making a stabel API.
See https://api-extractor.com/pages/setup/configure_rollup/#:~:text=(The%20API%20Extractor,with%20that%20effort.)

What features would you want in a new programming language?
It also offers a great Inversion of Control mechanism where everything is customisable, and, unlike Capability Objects, AESs also offer compatibility with type inference (you can pass functions doing IO to map, and it Just Works(TM)) and first-class control over stack frames (because really a continuation function is just some stack frames, which you can manually move to the heap if you want a closure; which means async is an effect!). It also is composable in ways Monads are not.
-
What are you doing about async programming models? Best? Worst? Strengths? Weaknesses?
Koka and other languages implementing Algebraic Effect Systems make everything a user-defined case of coroutines: async is just another effect/Monadic type. Zig does something similar by having first class stack frames, making all function calls possibly asynchronous.

Letlang, a programming language targetting Rust - Road to v0.1
Super interesting, there is a proposal to add this to JavaScript and several languages that use this, unison, koka & eff. I had no idea this was even a thing!

Let's collect relatively new research programming languages in this thread
Koka, already cited in this thread, early 2010s. Koka's first claim to fame was a usable effect system (at the type were, basically, effect systems were not usable in practice; in fact few languages have managed to do as well as Koka since). Now its author is working on cool implementation strategies for functional languages as well.

Implementing the Perceus reference counting GC
By implementing all of those optimizations in the Koka programming language, they achieved GC overhead much less and execution time faster than the other languages including OCaml, Haskell, and even C++ in several algorithms and data structures that frequently keep common sub-structures of them, such as red-black trees. For more information, see the latest version of the paper.
