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 new F# compiler feature: graph-based type-checking
I only tried F# for few days, but it was a pleasant experience on both macos and linux.
dotnet CLI should take care of build process, it can even generate self-sufficient executable (that bundle parts of .NET in them). The infamous required XML boilerplate has also been cut down to near-zero.
My biggest gripe is that Microsoft's debugger is closed-source and proprietary (though free for users of official VSCode builds). There is open-source netcoredbg by Samsung, so you can use VSCod[e,ium] with https://open-vsx.org/extension/muhammad-sammy/csharp , but YMMV.

Open source debugger?
When looking into C# tools though, my understanding is that the main debugging tool is under a proprietary MS license, although maybe I'm misunderstanding that. My question is, is there a FOSS debugger or tool kit for C# development? I did find this on the marketplace but am not sure if this is what I'm looking for. I know this is a bit of a niche case but was hoping to clarify. I'm not committed to VSCodium and am open to other text editors/IDEs, although would prefer to stick with it if possible.

Proprietary Environments are a Trap
My understanding is that I can install VSCodium and that they have many of the most popular extensions available. They even seem to have an alternative for the C# debugger. I could also use VSCodium and manually install the Microsoft extensions from the distributed VSX files.

Is .NET open? MS pushing a proprietary extension to replace OmniSharp
and there is a VSCode extension that uses this instead of the MS debugger

VS Code or VS Codium - Which should I use?
C# language (powered by OmniSharp): Official C# language support. The extension is subject to this restrictive license because it uses Microsoft's proprietary debugger. The source code is available under a MIT license. See this comment in the C# extension repo for some discussion on this. There is an alternative version of the C# extension in the Open VSX Registry that uses Samsung’s MIT-licensed Debugger.

Yeah, VSCode is great, but what a maintenance nightmare
Yeah, Gitpod is pretty nice for what it is. Although it's worth mentioning that certain proprietary Microsoft extensions are licensed for use only in Microsoft distributions of VSCode, so they won't work in Gitpod. Most extensions do work, but Pylance, C#, C/C++ doesn't, to name a few exceptions. Although for C# there is a FOSS extension you can use instead and for C/C++ there is clangd.

Blazor server app not running (Linux)
I'm not very familiar with C# and .NET, so I can't help you with any specifics. But I do know that Microsoft actively prevent the usage of their proprietary extensions such as the one for C# in non-Microsoft distributions of VS Code, such as VSCodium. Although if you're using VSCodium, you've probably installed the alternative FOSS version of the C# extension, unless you've sideloaded the official C# extension?

What are some open source apps that are actually terrible for privacy?
For C# there is https://github.com/muhammadsammy/free-omnisharp-vscode for Python there is https://github.com/Microsoft/pyright (Pylance is the proprietary counterpart) for C++ there is https://github.com/clangd/vscode-clangd

How can I use C# on arch linux?
If you want to stay FOSS, you can use this fork of the C# plugin which uses a free debugger: https://github.com/muhammadsammy/free-omnisharp-vscode

vscode total noob having issues using c# on linux (manjaro kde plasma)
The download URL for the debugger seems to have changed, but the latest version of the extension should include a fix for that (see muhammadsammy/free-omnisharp-vscode#20).

How to build a website without frameworks and tons of libraries
I use something very similar on https://lunar.fyi and https://lowtechguys.com but I wouldn’t call this “simple” anymore.
They use Jinja templating, I prefer Slim (https://github.com/slim-template/slim#syntax-example) which has a more Pythonic syntax (there is plim [0] in Python for that)
I use Tailwind as well for terse styling and fast experimentation (allows me to write a darkMode-aware and responsive 100 line CSS in a single line with about 10 classes)
For interaction I can write CoffeeScript directly in the page [1] and have it compiled by plim.
I run a Caddy static server [2] and use Syncthing [3] to have every file save deployed instantly to my Hetzner server.
I use entr [4] and livereloadx [5] to rebuild the pages and do hot reload on file save. All the commands are managed in a simple Makefile [6]

You can already see how the footnotes take up a large chunk of this comment, this is not my idea of simple. Sure, the end result is readable static HTML and I never have to fight obscure React errors, but it’s a high effort setup for starters.
Simple for me would be: write markdown files for pages, a simple CSS for general styling (should be optional), click to deploy on my domain. Images should automatically be resized to multiple sizes and optimized, videos re-encoded for smaller filesize etc.
I have mostly implemented that for myself (https://notes.alinpanaitiu.com/How%20I%20write%20this%20blog...) but it feels fragile. I’d rather pay for a professional solution.
