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.

My Sixth Year as a Bootstrapped Founder
Glicol looks very cool! Also check out Faust if you haven't (https://faust.grame.fr), another FP sound programming language.

Welcome to the Chata Programming Language
The linked (https://github.com/grame-cncm/faust) looks reasonable to me.
Chata probably needs to work out roughly what the semantics of the language should be. Its good to know what the library support is intended to be as that informs language design (assuming the library is to be implemented in chata anyway). Quite a lot of this page is about syntax.
There are some design decisions that have deep impact on programming languages. Reflection, mutation, memory management, control flow, concurrency. There are some implementation choices that end up constraining the language spec - python seems full of these.
Echoing p4bl0, implementing the language will change the spec. Writing a spec up front might be an interesting exercise anyway. I'd encourage doing both at the same time - sometimes describe what a feature should be and then implement it, sometimes implement something as best you can and then describe what you've got.
Implementation language will affect how long it takes to get something working, how good the thing will be and what you'll think about along the way. The usual guidance is to write in something familiar to you, ideally with pattern matching as compilers do a lot of DAG transforms.
- I'd say that writing a language in C took me ages and forced me to really carefully think through the data representation.
- Writing one in lua took very little time but the implementation was shaky, probably because it let me handwave a lot of the details.
- Writing a language in itself, from a baseline of not really having anything working, makes for very confusing debugging and (eventually) a totally clear understanding of the language semantics.
Good luck with the project.

Live + Python = ❤️
Faust integration would be awesome: https://faust.grame.fr Then again we have MaxMSP, so in the end it feels kind of redundant

Csound
Csound is extremely powerful, but my favorite thing in this vein these days is Faust:
https://faust.grame.fr/
It's a functional language with a nice way of generating diagrams of DSP algorithms, but its big killer feature for me is its language bindings, which include C, C++, Cmajor, Codebox, CSharp, DLang, Java, JAX, Julia, JSFX, "old" C++, Rust, VHDL, and WebAssembly (wast/wasm) out of the box.

logueSDK for beginners
Once you have an idea of basic programming practice, you need to learn some DSP programming. One of the better tools for this is Faust https://faust.grame.fr/ , bear in mind this is a functional programming language, and has very different syntax to C++, but the same principles apply.
- Where is a good place to get started with DSP coding?

Ask HN: Comment here about whatever you're passionate about at the moment
> It’s haven’t bought any Modular’s yet but I’m really looking forward to getting into other on the new year.
http://cardinal.kx.studio
https://vcvrack.com/
The former is libre and gratis, runs as a standalone or plugin and in the browser!! and is based on the latter.
Ther former has a libre and gratis standalone version, the plugin version is non-gratis.

VCV rack reliability for live use
I would look at Cardinal in preference to VCV Rack.
-
A couple of questions - VCV Rack 2 & Cardinal
Looked here? You can also download the tar, its like the zip. Follow the instructions how to open it and then install.

Generative Emotion-Responsive Music Patch with VCV Rack
I am trying to use rather https://github.com/DISTRHO/Cardinal than VCV and I wonder if I could do a similar thing.
- Should I pull the trigger?

Long time Cubase user who is leaving a more traditional electronic workflow to modular hardware... Bitwig seems to be the DAW more for this style possibly? Any opinions first hand?
There’s also Cardinal, a free plug-in version of VCV which is very good: https://github.com/DISTRHO/Cardinal
