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.

⏰ It’s time to talk about Import Map, Micro Frontend, and Nx Monorepo
For full compatibility and extra features, we usually use the library es-module-shims.

JavaScript import maps are now supported cross-browser
You can polyfill for unsupported browsers, it works surprisingly well: https://github.com/guybedford/es-module-shims

Modern SPAs without bundlers, CDNs, or Node.js
https://github.com/guybedford/es-module-shims has a polyfill. (But it is fairly large: 53KB raw, 15KB gzipped, 32KB minified, 11KB minified+gzipped. It’s providing a lot of likely-unnecessary functionality. I’d prefer a stripped-down polyfill that can also be lazily-loaded, controlled by a snippet of at most a few hundred bytes that you can drop into the document, only loading the polyfill in the uncommon case that it’s needed—like how five years ago as part of modernising some of the code of Fastmail’s webmail, I had it fetch and execute core-js before loading the rest iff !Object.values (choosing that as a convenient baseline), so that the cost to new browsers of supporting old browsers was a single trivial branch, and maybe fifty bytes in added payload.)

If we call the shim a framework, would you be ok with it then?

Import maps 101
If you want import maps to be supported in any browser, there is an ES Module Shims polyfill which is compatible with any browser that has baseline ES Module Support (i.e. Edge 17+, Firefox 60+, Safari 10.1+, and Chrome 61+).
-
Everything You Need to Know About JavaScript Import Maps
An example of a polyfill that can be used is the ES Module Shims polyfill that adds support for import maps and other new module features to any browser with baseline support for ES modules (about 94% of browsers). All you need to do is include the es-module-shim script in your HTML file before your import map script:

How bad is it to not use a bundler?
i often use es-module-shims so i can load npm packages in browsers without a bundler 😎

Fresh – The next-gen web framework
I explored using client-side service workers for build-less deployment workflows a while back, but the blocker was the initial visit when the service worker hasn't been installed yet. Ended up using es-module-shim's fetch hook (https://github.com/guybedford/es-module-shims#fetch-hook) instead, which worked quite well.
I kept the demo repo around here, in case it's helpful to anyone: https://github.com/lewisl9029/buildless-hot-reload-demo.
The repo itself is quite out of date at this point, but my current project, Reflame, is essentially the spiritual successor: https://reflame.app/
Reflame has the same ideals of achieving the developer experience I've always wanted for building client rendered React apps:
- instant production deployments (usually <200ms)
- instant preview environments that match production in pretty much every imaginable way (including the URL), that can also be flipped into development mode for fast-refresh (for the seamless feedback loop we're used to in local dev) and dev-mode dependencies (for better error messaging, etc)
- close-to-instant browser tests (1-3 seconds) that enable image snapshot comparisons that run with maximum parallelism and only rerun when their dependency graphs change
-
Do you use Import-Map for your client-side ESM?
The problem of course is that browser-support for Import Maps is sadly lacking (only Chrome/Chromium-based at time of writing). There are tricks/shims to get around this, like ES-Module-Shims. I find these approaches to be a little too intrusive, personally.

Symfony in microservice architecture - Episode I : Symfony and Golang communication through gRPC
There are various notable implementations of RPC like Apache Thrift and gRPC.
- What is gRPC popularity? I believe not very popular. And subreddit is small. Why is that?

Fresh – The next-gen web framework
> That's just your choice of how to build your app, right? You could've avoided this by rendering templates on the server and sending static HTML to the client, keeping the business logic on the server.
No, that's a requirement on most business cases, my comment stated 'complex and dynamic web apps'. Re-rendering the whole page everytime the user checks a box or clicks a button is (a) terrible UX, (b) hard to track the state between page refresh, (c) wrong practice and (d) bad performance.

Sure, I should setup a complex and huge dependency for just one of the many problems I highlighted. What a great idea

Deadline Budget Propagation for Baseplate.py
Thus, we released Baseplate.py v2.1 with deadline propagation. Each request between Baseplate services has an associated THeader, which includes relevant information for Baseplate to fulfill its functionality, such as tracing request timings. We added a “Deadline-Budget” field to this header that propagates the remaining timeout so that information is available to the following request, and this timeout continues to get updated with every new request made. With this update, we save production costs by allowing resources to work on requests awaiting a response, and gain overall improved latency.

parquet2 0.3.0, with native support to read async
The biggest addition is native async reading via futures::AsyncRead and futures::AsyncSeek, which required a lot of (to be merged) changes upstream (changes to thrift rust compiler and parquet-format-rs). I placed those changes on a temporary crate until things are released there.

Can you share your experience with race conditions in production?
We were sharing instances of a Thrift TDeserializer across threads. We knew TProtocol was not thread-safe, but the TDeserializer constructor accepts a TProtocolFactory, so we naively assumed the deserialize method would use that to create a new instance of TProtocol for each invocation, but unfortunately, the TDeserializer constructor immediately creates TProtocol and stores it in a member variable, so TDeserializer is not actually thread-safe.
