The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
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.

  • What Happened to eWASM?
    1 project | /r/ethdev | 1 Mar 2022
    The project looked really cool, but seems as if it is no longer being worked on.
  • Confused. Solidity or Rust ?
    1 project | /r/ethdev | 11 Jan 2022
    Solidity to begin with and later on Rust. Purely because at some point there will be an ewasm, EVM compatible WASM and since rust can be compiled to WASM, it is a possible candidate in future.
  • TypeScript for Ethereum Smart Contracts
    3 projects | /r/ethereum | 6 Dec 2021
    I see eWasm as a phenomenal mitigation for this problem (allowing effectively any llvm-backed language to participate), but there are most likely still questions around gas-burn and the economic efficiency of real world bytecode.

  • ESLint Understand By Doing Part 1: Abstract Syntax Trees
    2 projects | dev.to | 30 Mar 2023
    ESLint's AST format, ESTree, would represent this line of code as:
  • Eglot has landed on master: Emacs now has a built-in LSP client
    10 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 23 Oct 2022
    That was a super interesting link, thank you.

    For the ontological problem, I presume you're referring to how there are so many differing ideas of how to represent ASTs (apologies for mixing languages, these URLs were just handy):

    * https://lisperator.net/uglifyjs/ast#nodes

    * https://github.com/estree/estree#the-estree-spec

    * ... likely others

    which makes it hard for ls1 to ask ls2 about "the for-of iteration variable Node" because ls2 could be using UglifyJS or ESTree or their own(!) AST nomenclature?

    And all of this is made worse by (e.g.) Java1.3 versus Java19 because languages are rarely static

  • Statements vs. Expressions
    2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 14 Jul 2022
    I find it better to actually look at the AST for javascript.

    These are expressions:

    https://github.com/estree/estree/blob/master/es5.md#expressi...

    These are statements:

    https://github.com/estree/estree/blob/master/es5.md#statemen...

    I guess the confusing part for many is how an expression can also be a statement. But if you look at the ExpressionStatement you see that an expression is not also a statement. It's just the wrapper statement!

  • A technical tale of NodeSecure - Chapter 2
    7 projects | dev.to | 6 Jun 2022
    When I started the NodeSecure project I had almost no experience 🐤 with AST (Abstract Syntax Tree). My first time was on the SlimIO project to generate codes dynamically with the astring package (and I had also looked at the ESTree specification).

  • Introducing GraphQL-ESLint!
    2 projects | dev.to | 29 Jul 2021
    The parser we wrote transforms the GraphQL AST into ESTree structure, so it allows you to travel the GraphQL AST tree easily.

    2 projects | dev.to | 5 Mar 2021
    For espree parser(the one eslint uses) we can refer here Eslint AST Node Types
