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.

How do I remove the forward reference error in my parser? (20 lines)
Perhaps use Li Haoyi's fastparse instead? https://github.com/com-lihaoyi/fastparse
-
Parse slightly dirty, poorly escaped XML
You might want to adapt Li Haoyi’s XML parser for fastparse.

-🎄- 2021 Day 18 Solutions -🎄-
Mostly a mess of pattern matching. I really need to make some generic tree utilities. Haven't been able to find a decent parser combinator that works in Scala 3 (I usually use fastparse which depends heavily on Scala 2 macros, and scala-parser-combinators works in Scala 3, but I've had a lot of trouble getting it to not be too greedy), so I used the state monad from cats to parse at the bottom of the file, which I think turned out fairly nice.

Parser generators vs. handwritten parsers: surveying major languages in 2021
Agreed! I would say that parser combinators are the sweet spot and the right choice in most cases.
Scala has them as well, e.g.: https://com-lihaoyi.github.io/fastparse/
And the good thing is, you don't have to learn a completely new language/syntax, you can use the host language's syntax and you have full IDE support as well.

DMD Compiler as a Library: A Call to Arms
Here's the pipeline spitting out the same error as on my macbook did.

My favourite Git commit (2019)
Not completely on topic (if you read TFA) but my favorite Git commit is by compiler badass and HN frequenter, where he checks in an entire C compiler to the D language repo:

The C Bounded Model Checker: Criminally Underused
A new generated code alone is 4000 lines long [1]. The actual code added is just 2000 lines, and some are used to pay debts, I mean, to make a proper code generator (which can be alternatively written in a simpler scripting langauge). In any case it is never comparable to the entier C parser proper.

OpenD, a D language fork that is open to your contributions
D is completely opensource already (https://github.com/dlang/dmd). The "open" of OpenD is just ADR saying that OpenD will be more open to new language features than D has historically been.

The OpenD Programming Language (fork of D)
The reference compiler, DMD, is open source: https://github.com/dlang/dmd
But they don't accept just any Pull Request or features the community submits, understandably. There's a process called DIP for language improvements: https://github.com/dlang/DIPs/blob/master/DIPs/README.md
However, by some accounts, it's really hard to get anything through.
Given D already has so many feature, I find that to be a good thing , to be honest, by not everyone agrees, of course.
