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.

ts-belt - Fast, modern, and practical utility library for FP in TypeScript / Flow / JavaScript. (Faster than ramda, rambda, remeda and lodash/fp.)
I don't really use ts-belt to be certain, but by looking at the source, it seems that it's using genType, which can generate TS types from ReScript values, and that makes interop work really well.

ReScript 10.0
They discuss this in their docs.
https://rescript-lang.org/docs/manual/latest/introduction#di...
Seems like a type system for Javascript, built with a differing set of opinions than Typescript.
Looks like they also offer some form of TS interop:

TS Belt - fast, modern, and practical utility library for FP in TypeScript
TS Belt has been built with ReScript (and its Belt stdlib). ReScript generates highly performant JavaScript code, and with genType it also automatically generates TypeScript types. Moreover, I've added a few codemods to the building process to provide even more code optimizations and cleaner TypeScript signatures.

How I Switched from TypeScript to ReScript
To interoperate with TypeScript with proper type information you’ll use third-party genType. Add it as a devDependency and annotate the module export you want to generate with @genType (in previous versions you’d surround annotations with square brackets).

Next.js and Bunny CDN: Complete Guide to Image Uploading with Server Actions
Last thing left is to use our new upload function in our server action. Since I like to upload images in single format and have some more control over them, I will additionally use sharp library. For file name, I'll generate some random string using nanoid:

Why we chose Bun
Our API is in node. And God, how I suffered to import nanoid in an esmodule project. I had to vendor it, since using a previous version was not ideal. With bun, we can no longer worry about that. Just import what you need and done.

Building a File Storage With Next.js, PostgreSQL, and Minio S3
Generate a unique file name using the nanoid library.

Building a Multi-Tenant App with FastAPI, SQLModel, and PropelAuth
The syntax should read similar to SQL itself. We’re using a Python port of nanoid to generate our IDs. There’s only one thing missing… how do we actually create the table?

You Don't Need UUID

Analyzing New Unique Identifier Formats (UUIDv6, UUIDv7, and UUIDv8) (2022)
In another comment I mentioned I use nanoid in my projects now. It has a default space of 64^21 and has an a page where you can play with key lengths and alphabet sizes and see the probability of collisions :
https://zelark.github.io/nano-id-cc/
At the default 64 character alphabet with a 21 character key length it would take ~41 million years in order to have a 1% probability of at least one collision if you generated 1000 ids per second.

How I use Nano ID in Rails
Using randomly generated IDs like Nano ID could be a good alternative, however, as a developer, we must understand what Nano ID really does in our application. Defining the number of characters in the generated IDs is also important, to help with that Nano ID has a Collision Calculator to give us how many years in order to have a 1% probability of collision.
