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.

The Spinnaker Programming Language
String is a linked list of UTF-32 codepoints, which is just as bad as it sounds. Haskell programmers usually use Text from the text package instead.

[ANN] GHCup-0.1.19.0 released
This is the first release that was executed via the new GitHub CI. Everything went smoothly, except for an unexpected packaging bug on windows due to text-2.0 linking against libstdc++ by default.

Limits of possible performance improvements of Haskell/GHC code?
In addition to what's mentioned, the "default" libraries people use are often not the best-performing ones. E.g. Data.Vector.Hashtables is often much faster than Data.HashMap.Strict (which again is typically faster than Data.Map). And we find performance papercuts in common libraries that may simply be due to not enough people optimising for speed.

What is the idiomatic way to test "hidden" module functions in a Cabal project
Used by nearly every Haskell project: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/text 60% of the modules are ".Internal".

Switch internal representation to UTF8 by Bodigrim · Pull Request #365 · haskell/text
Here is a representative patch for text: https://github.com/haskell/text/pull/365/commits/37a2157245457a287d638bbceb472fe93b71f224 Hopefully it clarifies why achieving C performance is problematic even if you have enough primitive operations.

Can I wait forever without getLine?
I want to run an app in a Docker container, but detached. This causes getLine to throw an EOF exception, since the terminal detaches. That is, if I understand this thread correctly https://github.com/haskell/text/issues/258.

[ANN] unicode-collation 0.1
Until now, the only way to do proper Unicode sorting in Haskell was to depend on text-icu, which wraps the C library icu4c. However, there are disadvantages to depending on an external C library. In addition, the last release of text-icu was in 2015, and since then there have been changes to icu4c that cause build-failures, as noted in this issue.

Haskell ghost knowledge; difficult to access, not written down
text-icu occasionally breaks horribly and nondeterministically (1, 2) despite being praised by SOTU
What are some alternatives?
When comparing text and text-icu you can also consider the following projects:
gps2htmlReport - Generates a HTML page report detailing a GPS journey, with charts, statistics and an OpenStreetMap graphic.
text-short - Memory-efficient representation of Unicode text strings
hebrew-time - Hebrew dates and prayer times.
algebraic-classes - Conversions between algebraic classes and F-algebras.
observable-sharing - Observable sharing for haskell
