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.

Firefly – A new compiler and runtime for BEAM languages
There are details on this also: https://github.com/GetFirefly/firefly#runtime
Generally it should be assumed that actors and their concurrency model is fully supported as that is a part of the core semantics for BEAM languages.

DockYard R&D: FireFly Optimizes Your Elixir Compilation
I think this project used to be called Lumen until pretty recently - https://github.com/GetFirefly/firefly

Is there a way to create client-side interactivity like Vue or React with only Elixir?
Probably not a practical solution for what you are building now, but it's worth pointing out Lumen, an Erlang VM implementation that compiles to WebAssembly, and could one day enable Elixir on the frontend.

You had a head start, Gopher, but you can't outrun this crab.
Another vector could be some tooling that makes it easy to run Go programs compiled to Wasm run inside of Wasmtime environment hosted in Rust. If we run the go tooling in the same system, one could point this tool at a Go repo and be running that Go in a matter of milliseconds. A fun feature would be running channels across separate Wasm envs. Or maybe use Lumen.

If you were in charge of a startup tech stack, how would you use elixir to actually scale and make every work seamlessly?
Wish the Elixir WASM project -- Lumen -- were active. It seems like nothing much is happening on it.

Maestro: A Linux-compatible kernel in Rust
Isn't gVisor kind of this as well?
"gVisor is an application kernel for containers. It limits the host kernel surface accessible to the application while still giving the application access to all the features it expects. Unlike most kernels, gVisor does not assume or require a fixed set of physical resources; instead, it leverages existing host kernel functionality and runs as a normal process. In other words, gVisor implements Linux by way of Linux."

Faster Filesystem Access with Directfs
This sort of feels like seeing someone riding a bike and saying: why don’t they just get a car? The simple fact is that containers and VMs are quite different. Whether something uses VMX and friends or not is also a red herring, as gVisor also “rolls it own VMM” [1].

OS in Go? Why Not
There's two major production-ready Go-based operating system(-ish) projects:
- Google's gVisor[1] (a re-implementation of a significant subset of the Linux syscall ABI for isolation, also mentioned in the article)
- USBArmory's Tamago[2] (a single-threaded bare-metal Go runtime for SOCs)
Both of these are security-focused with a clear trade off: sacrifice some performance for memory safe and excellent readability (and auditability). I feel like that's the sweet spot for low-level Go - projects that need memory safety but would rather trade some performance for simplicity.

Tunwg: Expose your Go HTTP servers online with end to end TLS
It uses gVisor to create a TCP/IP stack in userspace, and starts a wireguard interface on it, which the HTTP server from http.Serve listens on. The library will print a URL after startup, where you can access your server. You can create multiple listeners in one binary.

How does go playground work?
The playground compiles the program with GOOS=linux, GOARCH=amd64 and runs the program with gVisor. Detailed documentation is available at the gVisor site.

Multi-tenancy in Kubernetes
You could use a container sandbox like gVisor, light virtual machines as containers (Kata containers, firecracker + containerd) or full virtual machines (virtlet as a CRI).
What are some alternatives?
