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.

Hack Lang: Contexts and Capabilities
Learned of this in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37186869 it was posted 2 years ago to no discussion https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30291459 seems far more interesting than that.
https://github.com/facebook/hhvm/blob/master/hphp/hack/doc/H... appears to be where it was proposed, and has more background than the current docs.
- Has Meta/Facebook stopped developing hacklang?
-
Hacklang is no longer opensource?
also fredemmott is not working on it any more https://github.com/facebook/hhvm/issues/9376

Interesting ocaml mention in buck2 by fb
Hack and Flow are also written in OCaml.

Buck2, a large scale build tool written in Rust by Meta, is now available

Taking Hack Seriously - Slack Engineering
Compared to PHP, with its visible community, Hack/HHVM does seem like a dead-end technology. But it’s very actively maintained and it powers the largest website on the planet. It definitely doesn’t make sense for the average PHP developer to switch (and the article steers clear of evangelising) but it also definitely doesn’t make sense for us to switch back.

I know that's the name of the language, I'm asking about the first P
PHP is nearly as old as the web. Change the conversation and say: I use Hack on the Hip Hop Virtual Machine

Show HN: Pywebview 5
Bundling Python isn't too bad if you find the right tools for it.
I really like https://github.com/indygreg/python-build-standalone and https://github.com/indygreg/PyOxidizer
A bundled, built standalone Python can be 16 to 32MB (including the full standard library, which you can strip down to just the bits you use to save size). Not tiny, but probably not worth switching programming languages over.

Why do you enjoy systems programming languages?
But really, I would suggest thinking about what you want to build before "how" or "with which tool" - one of the signs of a person becoming a good engineer is having an array of tools at their disposal and being able to choose a correct tool for the correct task. Rust also excels in integrating with other languages - with JS via WebAssembly (a bit of self-promotion, for example), with Elixir via Rustler, with Python via PyO3 and PyOxidizer, etc. So you absolutely can start writing a frontend app with JS, or a distributed system with Elixir, or a data processing/ML app with Python and use Rust to speed up critical parts of those. Or, in reverse, you can start with Rust & add new capabilities to whatever you're building, that being a frontend, a resilient chat interface, or an ML model.

List of Python compilers
Thank you, although this is not exactly on topic. I'd not heard of PyOxidizer, but it appears to have the same goal as PyInstaller, py2exe, and cx_Freeze -- as the PyOxidizer readme says, it produces

Here is some example Github Action from PyOxidizer as a Kickstarter: https://github.com/indygreg/PyOxidizer/blob/main/.github/workflows/build-exe.yml

Mitogen speedup (the actual value)
A starting point to try out binary modules by the way would be https://github.com/indygreg/PyOxidizer - could already have benefits by rolling in all dependencies of modules (so no more pip/apt/dnf/... installs on target hosts). Setting this up should be relatively straightforward and could probably be automated enough to even manage to build binary modules for all modules in the community ansible distribution eventually.

What are different ways to make a Python exe besides py-to-exe?
PyOxidizer might be another option.

A Completely Open-Source Implementation of Apple Code Signing and Notarization
XAR signing is effectively just an RFC 5652 CMS signature plus some minimal data structure manipulation. Code at https://github.com/indygreg/PyOxidizer/blob/faa7dfcea5d66bf5....
Mach-O and bundles, by contrast, require a myriad of additional data structures requiring thousands of lines of code to support. To my knowledge, nobody else has implemented signing of these far-more-complicated primitives. (Existing Mach-O signing solutions just do ad-hoc signing and/or don't handle Mach-O in the context of a bundle.)
What are some alternatives?
