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.

Or https://github.com/afnanenayet/diffsitter. I've tried both and I like them. No preference or notable opinions on them yet!

What Comes After Git
Several threads here point to difftastic: https://github.com/Wilfred/difftastic
I know a lot of people who have a lot of hope for diffsitter (or something like it): https://github.com/afnanenayet/diffsitter
Personally, I think the reason most "good" semantic diff tools are proprietary is that they are huge amounts of effort that are mostly "hacks" and "heuristics" bandaged together in ways that people don't want to let out how the sausage was made.
But I also "general, language agnostic AST-based semantic diff" is a mountain peak we cannot reach (probably ever), and I believe my experiments found an interesting local maxima that people are maybe sleeping on (lexer-based diffs rather than parser-based diffs): https://github.com/WorldMaker/tokdiff

Fast Kernel Headers: Tree -v1: Eliminate the Linux kernel's "Dependency Hell"
https://github.com/afnanenayet/diffsitter there are quiet a few projects such as this one, attempting to solve the issue. :)

Thinking about programming systems and not just languages and environments
There’s an interesting project in the semantic diff/merge space that I have been keeping an eye out for https://github.com/afnanenayet/diffsitter

What if Git worked with Programming Languages?
I have never used any of them, but it look like tree-sitter based diff tools are exactly what you are searching for (like difftastic, gumtree or diffsitter).
I believe Unison is the only attempt to do this at a programming language/environment level.
For Git diffs, there is Diffsitter, which uses Tree Sitter to generate semantic diffs of code files: https://github.com/afnanenayet/diffsitter
I have not used it, but it is high on my todo list.

Difftastic: A syntactic diff tool
Looks great, I'll try it! FYI, there is a very similar project called diffsitter https://github.com/afnanenayet/diffsitter
- diffsitter - a tree-sitter based AST difftool to get meaningful semantic diffs

WASM_of_OCaml
Yes. Darklang was originally in OCaml using js_of_ocaml, and we ported it to F# using Blazor (https://github.com/darklang/dark/tree/main/backend/src/Wasm). It works.
We found that in dotnet 6, the code was much slower, with long startup times and a much bigger download, than in js_of_ocaml. It also had a lot of issues in running in a Webworker, which wasn't the case for js_of_ocaml.
In dotnet 7, the webworker issues are better and AOT is easier, so startup is faster. Download sizes are still bad, and it's still slower than js_of_ocaml.
However, dotnet allows almost any code to run in WASM, which js_of_ocaml had large limitations. This meant a decent chunk of functionality had to be worked around to make separate js vs native targets, which also was a massive pain and took a long time. Dune's virtual targets wasn't ready at the time - I think we were one of the test cases for it.

It's so unfortunate they decided to go with the Clojure/Haskell type syntax, as opposed to something friendlier like Elixir. A lot of people will not even try this language as a result. [Unison]
Why should I use this instead of https://darklang.com/

Cloud, Why So Difficult?
First it was probably Dark. They made a lot of noise some years ago, but then I never heard of them again (looking at their current website, looks like they moved on to AI now, obviously).

New open-source programming language for DevOps engineers by the creator of the CDK
Reminds me of Darklang. Personally, I don't think vendoring cloud services into a language is going to be beneficial. I'm curious how the language deals with vendor updates. Do I have to upgrade the language then? If so, I see a lot conflicts coming from this. Then it comes down to Javascript or HCL, the HCL bit makes me think that the below statement is not as truthy as it is on the surface:

Darklang Release 9
We still don't have all that many users (~100 active), so I'm not sure you'll find an answer here. But we collect that sort of feedback publicly, which might answer your question: https://github.com/darklang/dark/discussions/categories/feed...

Making Something Waspy: A Review Of Wasp
I wish I could remember what took me to YCombinator's website on the 10th of October, 2022. That was when I first heard about Wasp and another language called DarkLang. After I learned about Wasp, I was intrigued and curious to know how it works, which led me to join the discord server the next day.

The Current State of Infrastructure From Code
There are others in this space I did not assess like Encore, Shuttle, Modal, and Dark. These were not assessed for the sake of time. If you're interested in IfC, I encourage you to take a look at these others.

Finally, we have support for negative numbers!
Oh, finally! I was waiting to build my serverless CRUD webapp in Dark (OCaml + JavaScript and Fsharp?) until they had support for returning negative numbers on a GET request!
