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 origin and virtues of semicolons in programming languages
* list of list literals (1,2; 3,4) eqv ((1,2), (3,4));
to paraphrase Larry Walk “everyone wants the [semi] colon”

Dada, an Experiement by the Creators of Rust
amen to this … i recommend thinking about your problem in terms of effective data structures and then apply even a very simple DSL to handle access and transformations … fwiw the built in Grammars and Slang support in raku https://docs.raku.org are fantastic tools for this job.

Raku: A Language for Gremlins
When I was looking at the language, I didn't find the documentation "really poor". In fact I was impressed at how much of a one-stop-shop the official docs site was for both conceptual docs and API docs.

Migrating Perl to Raku
The Raku Programming Language documentation already contains most (if not all) the documentation you need to deal with the issues you will confront in migrating Perl code to Raku. But, as documentation goes, the focus is on the factual differences. These blogs will try to go a little more in-depth about specific issues and provide a little more hands-on information based on my experience porting quite a lot of Perl code to Raku.

Introducing Pod Renewal Initiative
I will start working on the new version of Pod as a branch in https://github.com/raku/doc.

Will Carbon Replace C++?
Well, performance has been improved by several orders of magnitude since the first release. So maybe it's time to look at https://raku.org again (or first have a look at its new documentation site https://docs.raku.org)
-
What do yall use raku for?
go to https://docs.raku.org/ and type "IO" into the search field. Behold the list that appears. Check out IO::Path or IO::Handle or whatever looks interesting. Maybe it's just me but I go "Ooh, look at all the things!".

Generating a hash without a helper function
Related: The Raku documentation does an excellent job explaining hashes/dictrionaries/associative arrays. If you've any issues, please submit a Github issue.

What are the best materials for learning raku?
Raku has a lot of syntax. My first attempt at learning the language failed because I couldn't get past all the strange syntax I saw at https://docs.raku.org/. Sometimes I didn't know what the syntax was called, so I didn't know what to search for.

2021 Advent of Code solutions in the Raku programming language
In the course of figuring this out, I realized that our docs also (slightly) misstate what \d means in a Regex, which led to this PR. So thanks for bringing all this up!

Converting the Kernel to C++
A recent practical example of the former: the fish shell re-wrote incrementally from C++ to Rust, and is almost finished https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/discussions/10123
An example of the latter: c2rust, which is a work in progress but is very impressive https://github.com/immunant/c2rust
It currently translates into unsafe Rust, but the strategy is to separate the "compile C to unsafe Rust" steps and the "compile unsafe Rust to safe Rust" steps. As I see it, as it makes the overall task simpler, allows for more user freedom, and makes the latter potentially useful even for non-transpiled code. https://immunant.com/blog/2023/03/lifting/
-
Best tools to convert code between languages?
But not all transpilers are between languages where at least one of them is designed to be transpiled. For example, c2rust can transpile, as the name suggests, C to (ugly, unsafe) Rust. A while ago there was a Java -> C compiler in GCC (GCJ), but it's pretty out of date now.

Translate C code to Rust working with libc
I do not know about your specific issue but you may be interested by https://github.com/immunant/c2rust

Rewrite in Rust or Use Rust-bindings
You should also consider using C2Rust (they're even working on C -> safe Rust translation)

Emitting Safer Rust with C2Rust
> The date at the bottom of the article is 2022-06-13. Has there been further progress?
The article links to their github repo:

There's commits in the last hour, so at least some signal of life.

Writing an OS in Rust to run on RISC-V
This is arguably already the state of things.
Rust might get compiled down through MIR, down through LLVM IR, down to assembly or wasm... which then might be JIT or AOT (re)compiled into other bytecodes... which might perhaps be decompiled back up to C... and C might be retranslated back to horrific unsafe-spamming Rust by the likes of https://c2rust.com/. We've come full circle!
The main issue is that retranslating high level languages into other high level languages isn't something that there's actually a lot of demand for, especially commercially, especially given the N x M translation matrix going on. So a lot of the projects "stabilize" (get abandoned). And automatically translating between the idioms of those languages gets even nastier in terms of matrix bloat.
Well, you've got stuff like MSIL and JVM bytecodes which are higher level, and preserve more type information, and can be compiled to / decompiled from while still preserving more structure, but they still form competing incompatible ecosystems.
-
Will Carbon Replace C++?
That's the wrong direction. What's needed are intelligent converters which convert less-strict languages to more-strict ones.
Non-intelligent converters just make a mess. Here's c2rust.[1]
Classic C++ to modern C++, plus a compiler flag to lock out all the old unsafe stuff, would be an achievement.

Red Black Tree in Rust
Well, technically, it's not hard to build such data structures. If you are willing to liberally use raw pointers, UnsafeCell, MaybeUninit and ManuallyDrop, then you can more-or-less write C-equivalent code in unsafe Rust. (there are even transpilers from C to Rust)

checkedc - Checked C is an extension to C that lets programmers write C code that is guaranteed by the compiler to be type-safe. The goal is to let people easily make their existing C code type-safe and eliminate entire classes of errors. Checked C does not address use-after-free errors. This repo has a wiki for Checked C, sample code, the specification, and test code.
