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.

A decade of developing a programming language
I'm in the same boat as you -- here are the two best resources I found:
https://mukulrathi.com/create-your-own-programming-language/...
https://jaked.org/blog/2021-09-07-Reconstructing-TypeScript-...
I read through the first 10 chapters of TAPL, and skimmed the rest. The first 10 chapters were good to remind myself of the framing. But as far as I can tell, all the stuff I care about is stuffed into one chapter (chapter 11 I think), and the rest isn't that relevant (type inference stuff that is not mainstream AFAIK)
This is also good:
https://github.com/golang/example/blob/master/gotypes/README...
And yeah I think we had the same conversation on Reddit -- somebody needs to make a Crafting Interpreters for type checking :) Preferably with OOP and functional and nominal/structural.

Slog: Zero-dependency structured logging in Go
A guide covering how to write custom handlers is out of scope for this post, but you can find one such guide written by the author of slog here. Thankfully, you don’t need to write a handler from scratch to use one. There are several community-contributed handlers, including handlers that allow you to output colored logs, and a handler that lets you implement sampling. You can find a full list here.

Can't get gopls to work with nvim-lsp
So I just cloned this git repo https://github.com/golang/example and as soon as I entered the hello/hello.go file I was able to get autocomplete and error checking. I don't understand why it isn't working with just a .go file I made.

JetBrains' unremovable AI assistant meets irresistible outcry
I suggest looking for blog posts about this, you're gunnuh wanna pick out a plugin manager and stuff. It's kind of like a package manager for neovim. You can install everything manually but usually you manually install a plugin manager and it gives you commands to manage the rest of your plugins.
These two plugins are the bare minimum in my view.
https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter
Treesitter gives you much better syntax highlighting based on a parser for a given language.
https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig
This plugin helps you connect to a given language LSP quickly with sensible defaults. You more or less pick your language from here and copy paste a snippet, and then install the relevant LSP:
https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig/blob/master/doc/ser...
For Python you'll want pylsp. For JavaScript it will depend on what frontend framework you're using, I probably can't help you there.
pylsp itself takes some plugins and you'll probably want them. https://github.com/python-lsp/python-lsp-server
Best of luck! Happy hacking.

Neovide – a simple, no-nonsense, cross-platform GUI for Neovim
Adding language support it neovim isn't very difficult once you're setup. I use nvim-lspconfig[1] and just about any language you could need is documented[2]. But like others have mentioned there are batteries included distributions of neovim if that's your cup of tea.

A guide on Neovim's LSP client
If we can't find the basic usage in the documentation we can go to nvim-lspconfig's github repository. In there we look for a folder called server_configurations, this contains configuration files for a bunch of language servers.

Do I need NeoVIM?
https://github.com/hrsh7th/nvim-cmp This is an autocompletion engine https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter This allows NeoVim to install parsing scripts so NeoVim can do things like code highlighting. https://github.com/williamboman/mason.nvim Not strictly necessary, but allows you to access a repo of LSP, install them, and configure them for without you actively messing about in config files. https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig Also not strictly necessary, but vastly simplifies LSP setup. https://github.com/williamboman/mason-lspconfig.nvim This lets the above two plugins talk to each other more easily.

cpp setting problem
This specific issue talks about fixing clangd for that error: https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig/issues/2184. The issue is ongoing for ccls AFAIK but for clangd, this has been discussed and fixed in the past already.

Need help to set up the pbkit language server
I am trying to set up the pbkit language server for protobuf files. Since it is not part of the nvim-lspconfig repo's server configurations, I have to figure the way out myself. It doesn't seem to be too difficult, as I can start from the bufls configuration there. The following is what I have at the moment:

Using nvim-lint as a null-ls alternative for linters
Personally, i think nvim-lint is the best alternative currently, specially so because it has no dependencies on external binaries. This guide assumes you already have your LSP set up with nvim-lspconfig (or an alternative like lsp-zero). You should also have an way to install the linters you are gonna need, i highly recommend Mason with mason-lspconfig.

The Future of the Vim Project
Basically neovim can act as a client to a variety of different language servers (https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig/blob/master/doc/ser...) which give neovim IDE capabilities. This can be done in original Vim also but requires external plugins which can be a pain to compile and install. Neovim has it built in.

SQL LSP dialect
I'm struggling to get [sqlls](https://github.com/joe-re/sql-language-server) with [nvim-lspconfig](https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig) to use Postgres syntax.

LazyVim
I see where you're coming from. FWIW, I've been using Neovim for an odd 7 years or so and only use plugins where absolutely necessary. I'll usually just add an appropriate BufWritePost (trigger after saving the buffer) autocommand for the language's file extension that does what I want. Or I'll add a keybind in .config/nvim/ftplugin/.vim (or .lua).
The default LSP client config at https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig#suggested-configura... sets everything up for you, if you're using an LSP server. I'm not sure why it hasn't been merged into the Neovim repo; possibly because they want to keep the editor core fast and minimal.
All this means you have to do a little more configuring than with something like VSCode, but to be honest, I haven't legitimately needed to make big changes to my config in a few years. There's stuff I add for fun (like little lua scripts to manage my clipboard and to layout tabs the way I want), but to maintain a 'VSCode' level of functionality none of it's needed. The advantage of spending a little extra time, for me, has been that my edit 'fits like a glove', so to speak :)
