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));

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!

How difficult would it be to make a c++ compiler
Sean Baxter created a front end c++ compiler by himself, using llvm for the back end and the gcc or clang stl. I think it took him a couple of years. https://www.circle-lang.org/. Before this happened I heard a couple of different people claiming that there would never be a totally new compiler as it was too much work.

Toward a TypeScript for C++"
The real Typescript for C++ is Circle.
https://www.circle-lang.org/
Just like Typescript to JavaScript, the syntax is an evolution of what already exists, not a completely different syntax.

Circle Evolves C++ [video]
Context: https://github.com/seanbaxter/circle/blob/master/new-circle/...
Note that Circle is not an F/OSS compiler as someone pointed out before. This however doesn't make Circle less relevant, because it is actually a testament to show that C++ could have been much better without the claimed breakage. If Circle does provide a number of desirable features and its compiler can be built by a single person, then why shouldn't the committee do the same?

My (Herb Sutter's) C++ Now 2023 talk is online: “A TypeScript for C++”
From all wannabe C++ replacements candidates, the only language that is really a TypeScript for C++, is Circle.
For whatever reason, Herb Sutter decided to ignore this language on the presentation.
https://www.circle-lang.org/
This is the only one with the syntax based on C++, incrementally changing the features via #pragma settings.

Making C++ Safe Without Borrow Checking, Reference Counting, or Tracing GC
The second someone makes a successor language that seamlessly/directly interops with C++ _AND_ has the level of build/IDE tooling that C++/Rust have, I'm on board.
The closest thing right now is Sean Baxter's "Circle" compiler in "Carbon" mode IMO:
https://github.com/seanbaxter/circle/blob/master/new-circle/...
Unfortunately, Circle is closed-source and there's no LSP or other tooling to make the authoring experience nice.
- Circle-lang: A feasible, simple, and immediate way for C++ to break out of the rut it's been in. Surprised more people aren't talking about it.

Recurrence-expression is a programmable superset of fold-expression
I read through the whole of https://github.com/seanbaxter/circle/blob/master/new-circle/README.md and man, I'm drooling. Awesome work, kudos.

Have a look at Circle from Sean Baxter [0]. It's pretty impressive.
