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.

- Hired: A Modern Take on 'Ed'
-
The ! command, what do you use it for?
( The ed clone I am writing: https://github.com/sidju/hired , and its backend: https://github.com/sidju/add-ed )
- Thoughts on some of the actively developed text editors written in Rust?
-
Nano vs Vim (text editor)
OR, use modern ED! https://github.com/sidju/hired Syntax highlighting, command history and replaceable backend.

Interface test for all structs that implement a trait
My current solution is to have it written implementation agnostic for the only implementation that currently exists. ( Seen here: https://github.com/sidju/hired/blob/bde09775eca11c3f98f88f29eb006f4dc6e057fd/src/buffer/vecbuffer.rs#L249 ) In the longer term I intend on writing a macro that essentially creates that exact test but replaces the constructor ("VecBuffer::new()") with whatever string is given to the macro. That should work well, but will have to wait a little.

Multi-cursor code editing: An animated introduction
Nice post. Obligatory Helix plug: For anyone interested in taking this further, there are whole editors designed around multi-cursor editing.

:syntax off (2016)
I could never turn it off completely but I do sometimes use the Acme theme during the day (it's too bright in the evening), which highlights just comments, strings, and errors.

Lapce
You can use a snippet LSP to work around Helix not having a built-in LSP manager. They're listed in https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/issues/395

Memray – A Memory Profiler for Python
I'm probably not the average python programmer.
But I normally just create two terminals (I have a tiling window manager) and in one I open a python file under /tmp/ write my code and execute it in the other terminal.
I would probably use a REPL if it was integrated in my favorite editor ( https://helix-editor.com ).

Neovide – a simple, no-nonsense, cross-platform GUI for Neovim
Wow, that's been there a while: https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/commit/35c974c9c49f912...
Wonder how I missed that. I'm getting a re-education in helix today -- thank you! I'll go through `hx --tutor` again before I insert any more feet in my mouth.

Zed is now open source
Interesting to see how they are gonna approach integrating plugins/extensions system, because this is likely gonna be one of the major factors affecting adoption and ecosystem growth.
Helix devs, for instance, lean towards a Scheme-like implementation. [1]
