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.

Show HN: A Browser-Based First Programming Language – Easier Than Python
Hi. I made Easylang to help beginners get started with programming. It is open source.

Show HN: A somewhat old-fashioned programming language
A somewhat old-fashioned programming language
easylang is a rather minimalistic simple programming language. Because of the clear syntax and semantics it is well suited as a teaching and learning language. Functions for graphic output and mouse input are built into the language.
The language is written in C and is open source. Main target platform is the web browser using WASM. However, it also runs natively in Windows and Linux.
The one-pass parser and compiler is quite fast. In the Web IDE, each time the Enter key is pressed, the program is parsed and formatted up to the current line.
The AST interpreter is fast, much faster than CPython for example.
The language is statically typed and has as data types numbers (floating point) and strings and resizeable arrays. Variables are not declared, the type results from the name (number, string$, array[]).
Uses: Learning language, canvas web applications, algorithms.
For example, I solved the AdventOfCode tasks with easylang.

Building a Wordle Clone with Lua! 🕹
If you're new to the 12 in 24 series, I'm learning and building projects with a new programming language every month - this month, it's the Lua scripting language. You can find source code for the projects I build in the official GitHub repository (check it out, this week's folder contains code for both this and two other bonus projects!).

Gearing up for Lua
This month, we're talking about Lua. It's not always a first choice when it comes to programming, but I think there's a lot to enjoy about this little language. Heck, I'm a big game development fan myself - I would look into it even if that was the only reason to.

How do you like code documentation inline in the source code vs. as separate guides, or how would you do it?
I think Lua is a good example of doing documentation well. The source code is commented only as much as needed, mainly with brief comments about things that might not be obvious and a small number of longer explanations of how the architecture works (mainly relevant to developers). It also has a super nice feature that's surprisingly rare: each file has a very short line at the top that describes what the file is, so you don't have to guess based on the filename alone. The API is documented in a single HTML file on the website that has both the high level descriptions of the language and architecture, as well as documentation for each public-facing function. The docs are maintained by hand, but the API is mostly stable, so the docs don't need to change very often.
