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.

Can GHCi be run like PDB?
Another thing you can try is the ghc-wpc project which has an interpreter which supports breakpoints, though you may need to hack little a bit to achieve your goals.

ELI5: Why does the new Javascript backend need to live in GHC instead of consuming GHC-WPC output?
If I understand the new GHCJS backend correctly, it diverges from the normal compilation pipeline at STG (see the new StgToJS module subtree). Wouldn't that make it an excellent candidate to use GHC-WPC's machine-readable external STG representation, instead of hooking it directly into the GHC source tree?

Haskell compiled onto LLVM increase performance?
Here the goal is to build a high level, easy to understand model for all GHC backend features. Validations is also required. Once we know the semantics of GHC primops and RTS features then it becomes possible to figure out how to compile Haskell programs to GRIN. I started the GHC-WPC project for this reason. GHC-WPC exports the STG intermediate representation for the whole Haskell program, and I wrote an STG interpreter from scratch in Haskell that can run any Haskell program. (i.e. GHC itself) The STG interpreter is the high level model for the GHC primop and RTS semantics. It implements all these in pure Haskell, it does not depend on GHC RTS at all.

Why is the debugger so bad in Haskell? (or is it just me)
I can easily debug any Haskell program with the external STG interpreter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkDUEd3pUyM https://github.com/grin-compiler/ghc-whole-program-compiler-project

Haskell program inspector tooling development
Hello, I'm using the external STG interpreter to observe the runtime behaviour of Haskell programs. Lately I've added an initial call-graph construction feature that I plan to refine further. https://twitter.com/csaba_hruska/status/1417486380536582151 Is there anyone who has dynamic analysis related research ambitions and wants to study Haskell program runtime behaviour in detail? If so then it would be great to talk.

What are you hyped about today?
I haven't gotten my hands dirty yet, but really excited hearing GHC-WPC is going on!

GHC Pluggable Backend?
Why didn't you mention GHC-WPC? It is also a backend sample. It exports enough information (STG + linker opts + c bits) to interpret the program or to generate a binary executable via the regular GHC codegen system. https://github.com/grin-compiler/ghc-whole-program-compiler-project

Transpiling to GHC Core language
You could use the GHC codegen and RTS via the external STG IR. https://github.com/grin-compiler/ghc-whole-program-compiler-project

Next-gen Haskell Compilation Techniques
Remarks: 1. Strict functional languages can be expressed in STG without overhead, because STG has explicit liftedness control. In a strict language every data is unlifted or unboxed. 2. Supporting all GHC primops is not unrealistic. See the primop implementation in the external STG interpreter source code. Here is the implementation of the threading primops.

Comparing polymorphic function arguments with GHC
I encountered a similar issue in typelevel-rewrite-rules. The user writes type PlusAssoc a b c = ((a + b) + c) ~ (a + (b + c)) to indicate that they want a type like (2 + x) + 1 to be rewritten to 2 + (x + 1). Thus, I want to be able to look at (2 + x) + 1 and learn that yes, it matches the pattern (a + b) + c, with the substitution a = 2, b = x, c = 1.

[ANN/RFC] constraint-rules
Nice! Thanks for including a comparison with my package typelevel-rewrite-rules. Since my package indeed struggles with infinite loops introduced by self-triggering rewrite rules, I would like to better understand why your package doesn't suffer from that same problem.

Transpiling to GHC Core language
When writing a typechecker plugin, you can eliminate constraints from the user's program by providing an implementation of the corresponding dictionary. The way you provide that dictionary to ghc is by providing a core expression; for example, this evCast futureDict co expression has type EvTerm, whose first constructor takes an EvExpr, which is a synonym for CoreExpr.

[GHC Proposals] GHC Maintainer preview
Until then, I guess we can simply poll. Here's a GitHub Action I wrote today which checks if the latest report for a given package includes a failure: https://github.com/gelisam/typelevel-rewrite-rules/blob/main/.github/workflows/check-hackage-matrix.yml
