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.

The Flix Programming Language
> recently added support for package management
Are there any [plans for] supply chain attack mitigations?
Naively searching, I find https://github.com/flix/flix/issues/4380#issuecomment-123641... (Proposed Principle: A package can be declared as "safe") and https://github.com/flix/flix/issues/2837 (Add capability-safety to polymorphic effects?) the latter closed with working on something related to this https://github.com/flix/flix/issues/3000 (The Road to Algebraic Effects).

What the imperative shell of an Functional Core/Imperative Shell language looks like
I like it. Modern languages that distinguish between pure and impure programs like Flix, Koka, and Effekt do so on the type level instead of syntactically. This has three advantages:
-
[Q] Alternative languages; which one do you use?
I work almost 100% in Scala because it has the most advanced functional features (proper pattern matching, higher-kinded types, typeclasses, ...) and very powerful metaprogramming abilities, while being compatible with the Java OO model as long as you consume Java libraries (the other way around can be tricky, Kotlin is much better there). Only Flix takes it further but it's still an immature project.

Cola: A text CRDT for real-time collaborative editing
This doesn’t appear to support rich text formatting ranges like bold, italic, etc - unless I’m missing something in the API. AFAIK Peritext is still the state of the art in rich text CRDT algorithms https://www.inkandswitch.com/peritext/
I’d love to see this build the rich text stuff from the Peritext algorithm.

The Cloud Is a Prison. Can the Local-First Software Movement Set Us Free?
The work Ink & Switch (unaffiliated) do has been an inspiration to my with regard to local-first and decentralized software: https://www.inkandswitch.com
They have a quasi-manifesto on local-first (https://www.inkandswitch.com/local-first/) and have published the best rich text CRDT around, Peritext: https://www.inkandswitch.com/peritext/
Lots of interesting work happening in this space.

Figma Is a File Editor
Take a look at https://automerge.org/ and the stack those folks are building. You're exactly right that it's a difficult balance (specifically the trick is proving commutativity for the domain-specific data of your application). But automerge (and then https://github.com/inkandswitch/peritext) show it's at least possible. Good stuff.

Ask HN: What is new in Algorithms / Data Structures these days?
Yes - The BFT problem only matters when you have Byzantine actors. But I think users deserve and expect the system to be reasonably well behaved and predictable in all situations. Anything publically writable, for example, needs BFT resilience. Or any video game.
As for the prosemirror problem, I assume you’re talking about weird merges from users putting markdown in a text crdt? You’re totally right - this is a problem. Text CRDTs treat documents as a simple sequence of characters. And that confuses a lot of structured formats. For example, if two users concurrently bold the same word, the system should see that users agree that it should be bolded. But if that “bold” intent is translated into “insert double asterisks here and here”, you end up with 4 asterisks before and after the text, and that confused markdown parsers. The problem is that a text crdt doesn’t understand markdown.
JSON editing has similar problems. I’ve heard of plenty of people over the years putting json text into a text crdt, only to find that when concurrent edits happen, the json grows parse errors. Eg if two users concurrently insert “a” and “b” into an empty list. The result is [“a””b”] which can’t be parsed.
The answer to both of these problems is to use CRDTs which understand the shape of your data structure. Eg, use a json OT/crdt system for json data (like sharedb or automerge). Likewise, if the user is editing rich text in prosemirror then you want a rich text crdt like peritext. Rich text CRDTs add the concept of annotations - so if two users bold overlapping regions of text, the crdt understands that the result should be that the entire region is bolded. And that can be translated back to markdown if you want.
The ink & switch people did a great write up of how this sort of crdt works here: https://www.inkandswitch.com/peritext/

You might not need a CRDT
> I'm looking out for practical CRDT ideas that works well with richtext.
Have you seen Peritext from Ink & Switch? https://www.inkandswitch.com/peritext/ It's relatively new, but is a CRDT aimed at rich text!

CRDTs make multiplayer text editing part of Zed's DNA
To put it in a different perspective, plain text editing has well-solved CRDT patterns. But, semantic data-structures like rich-text or syntax trees is what's tricky and has unsolved challenges.
Peritext[1] is the only one that came close to solving rich-text, but even that one left out important aspect of rich-text editing like handling list & table operations as "work to be done later".
For people interested on why it's difficult to build CRDTs for richtext, here's a piece I wrote a year back: https://writer.zohopublic.com/writer/published/grcwy5c699d67...

Anyone unsure of what a CRDT is, this is the perfect intro: https://www.inkandswitch.com/peritext/
The two most widely used CRDT implementations (combining JSON like general purpose types and rich text editing types) are:

Is Svelte capable of a Google Docs & Sheets clone?
Svelte is, but that is your smallest problem. You want to look into CRDTs (conflict-free replicated data types) to offer true (offline) collaboration. A popular JS library to solve this complex problem is called [automerge](Conflict-free replicated data type). A rather recent development in that area specifically for text-based content is Peritext. Also check out this interactive tutorial about CRDTs.
