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.

Launch HN: Pynecone (YC W23) – Web Apps in Pure Python
Looks similar to Nitro https://nitro.h2o.ai/ and Wave https://wave.h2o.ai/ - both open source. Nitro already works with WebAssembly via Pyodide. (Author here)

PyScript
Does PyScript offer anything of significance over and above what Pyodide already offers, other than several py-* tags?
In my experience, it's trivial accomplish this with Pyodide.
Here's a web worker that hosts Pyodide and loads packages, PyPI wheels, external modules, etc. and launches type=text/python script tags in-browser:
https://github.com/h2oai/nitro/blob/main/web/public/nitride....
About ~100 lines of code.

Ask HN: Visual scripting works well for games but not general software. Why?
I miss RAD tools too. Visual Basic was hugely popular two decades ago. The ease of building GUIs was unparalleled. That experience carried over to some extent with Windows Forms, WPF, Adobe Flex, etc., but not quite the same.
A decent blend of RAD and visual programming is the Max/MSP that ships with Ableton Live. It's fairly straightforward to build little audio/MIDI devices, then switch to visual programming for the implementation (objects/patchcords/control in Max terms).
> Doing GUIs only in code is tedious and boring.
Totally. But given that most GUI software these days involves client/server, I'm not sure if there's a simpler solution.
I work on Nitro[1] these days, and it's an attempt to make GUI development simpler and less tedious, primarily by trying to abstract away client/server programming and opting for a simpler way to program UIs without dealing with callbacks or event-handlers.

Lua: The Little Language That Could
it should be possible, the article mentions https://fengari.io/ (a Lua VM written in JavaScript)

OmG jAVaScRiPt InSeCuRe. LuA bETtEr.
Check out Fengari or Lapis. Fun fact: itch.io is written primarily in Lua, and started by the same person who made Lapis and MoonScript.

Lua is the fourth-fastest growing language on GitHub
I was real excited to see these recently... have you tried any? https://fengari.io/ is the one I was most intrigued by.

How to embed lua in a JS webapp?
Hello, there is also fengari: https://fengari.io/
-
PyScript
Other languages have done that :)
Lua in the browser: https://fengari.io/
And then you can use that to run Fennel, a Lisp that compiles to Lua https://fennel-lang.org/
I think TypeScript also has a script you can include that lets you put your TS code in a special script tag, and it gets compiled in-browser.

Intro to PyScript: Run Python in your web browser
just use lua, it’s what should have been used for web scripting anyways

Upcoming interview with Roberto Ierusalimschy
Please stop this stuck in the mud nonsense. Anyone stumbling upon lua.org might think the project is dead already. The material is great, close to the best, but its presentation is pure shite. Not mobile friendly (what kinds of device do you think the majority of people in the Global South use?). We live in a world of code highlighting, none of that in PiL. We live in a world where Fengari allows Lua to run in the browser, does that make an appearance on lua.org, allowing users to immediately play with the language? Of course not! It's almost as if the Lua team is trying to push away potential users.

A First Look at PyScript: Python in the Web Browser – Real Python
why not use lua

I really like to think of PyScript as the “Minecraft of software development”
Just use lua https://fengari.io/

What can I create with Lua?
Definitely the most surprising use-case for Lua that I've seen is http://lua.space/webdev/why-we-rewrote-lua-in-js which discusses https://fengari.io/.
