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.

Can you make your own JavaScript by implementing ECMAScript standard?
Indeed. ECMA-262 has been implemented using JavaScript https://github.com/engine262/engine262.
-
What sorts of things would you consider to be “advanced” javascript concepts?
Node.js is not the only JavaScript runtime. JavaScript runtimes have been written using JavaScript alone, see engine262. There is also Deno, QuickJS, txiki.js, Bun, none of which use COmmonJS by default, SpiderMonkey, et al.

Ask HN: What interesting problems are you working on? ( 2022 Edition)
for an interpreted language like JS, this project is really nice https://github.com/engine262/engine262. More or less 2 parts: parser and evaluator
-
Is there a source that shows how built in js methods/functions are built?
That is a bit complex, so here's a list of JS engines: if you pick one written *in* JS, that would probably be most useful -- engine262 for example

[AskJS] is there a way to quantitatively check if a number value is copied or only the pointer to that number is copied?
It's outside of what you asked for, but here's a JavaScript engine in JavaScript. Might make for some interesting bedtime reading!

Interesting to see a JS implementation written in JS:

Show HN: Happy Pi day with this PWA to cut 100k Pi digits offline
It uses service workers to cache static files, by the time it opens up you already free to be offline, try toggle network switch to verify.
It has download link at bottom of the about page ([accdoo.app/about]) which you could then self host it by dropping into any static hosting services.
btw, the Pi feature was by-product from the original App but I won't expand here, if you'd like to learn more, please checkout its two Show HN post (39115559 and 39138957) previously.

Can you make your own JavaScript by implementing ECMAScript standard?
I think QuickJS, written in C, is a user-"friendly" starting point for implementing ECMA-262. Documentation QuickJS Javascript Engine.

New QuickJS Release
There is a readme on the project's main page: https://bellard.org/quickjs/
The newsworthy bit here is that the activity seemed to have stalled for year or two and now Fabrice pushed a few fixes and made a new release.
-
GitHub
Just to demonstrate GitHub repositories do not necessarily reflect upon a programmers' body of work, Fabrice Bellard has one (1) repository published on GitHub, quickjs. Compare the list of work on Bellard's home page https://bellard.org/.

WinterJS
> I am still confused, it's a JavaScript runtime intended to be deployed to JavaScript/Wasm runtimes?
Seemingly.
> Why does a JavaScript runtime need a JavaScript runtime?
Because if you want to create a Service Worker server for CloudFlare Workers and other JavaScript/Wasm runtimes, that's the only option for doing that AFAIK.
FWIW, this isn't a new idea. For example, Figma uses QuickJS (https://bellard.org/quickjs/) for their plug-in runtime: https://www.figma.com/blog/an-update-on-plugin-security/
