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.

My Node.js is a bit Rusty
Related: you can write a Node.js module in Nim with Denim: https://github.com/openpeeps/denim
-
Nim v2.0 Released
Somewhat related, you can call Nim code from Node.js/Bun using Denim: https://github.com/openpeeps/denim. It works by creating a Node add-on.
This is great for reusing Nim code in a web app, and possibly for performance critical code.

Node vs Flask for Scaling
Something I'm just starting for one of my projects, is to use Node on front-end and back-end (mostly for GraphQL). Then write the majority of the back-end in Nim and compile it to a Node add-on with Denim (https://github.com/openpeeps/denim). Nim can call Python with Nimpy if I ever need to call it.

Nim 2.0.0 RC2
Well, maybe not writing. Occasionally low-level C libraries - especially those that deal with keyboard input - decide to provide identifiers differing only in case... There's a WIP RFC for providing a way to deal with identifiers that need to be verbatium by surrounding them with backticks, though.

My Nim Development Weekly Report (3/12)
Following The Roadmap 2023 for community building , you could join us in the matrix space where we discuss how to build a community. We appreciate doable suggestions and helps, such as improving the workflow, implementing the roadmap, suggesting doable tasks, reviewing code from contributors. United we stand. We shall work together to make the community thrive.

My Nim Development Weekly Report (2/19)
First of all, the Nim development follows The Roadmap 2023, which specifies what features might be implemented or removed in 2023. As we can see, completing incremental compilation and recursive module dependencies might be the most important tasks to be done in 2023. You might subscribe to the roadmap and write down your expectations of Nim in 2023 there.
