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.

Announcing the Hare programming language
I use pony https://ponylang.io/ as a language - it's an Actor based language with GC where every actor has its own memory and is responsible for its own GC.
The main feature is its ability to safely share or move data around between actors in a way that is data-race and deadlock free. Pony doesn't use locks anyways :-)
A high level as to how it achieves this:
-
Green Threads vs Async/Await, ergonomics-wise, toward thread-safety
And it's not just the mathematics. The non-type-theoretic paradigm-upending let-it-crash-to-keep-code-correct resilience for which Erlang/Elixir is famous was one of the biggest eye-openers for me in my programming career (which began in 1972 when I was 12). Also, the simple behaviour and very high performance results of contemporary Actorish implementations, especially Akka.io and the in-some-ways-more-impressive ponylang.io and related ORCA GC ("concurrent and parallel garbage collector for actor programs ... does not require any STW steps, or synchronization mechanisms ... zero-copy message passing and sharing of mutable data ... data race free ... [no] read/write barriers"), are eye-catching affirmations of the Actor model's approach.

Mutability vs Immutability vs Renaming vs other ideas
Being an unabashed Ponylang fanboy, I'd say that mutability is a separate question from the "actual" type. I'm simplifying a lot here, but generally in Pony you'd express this in a couple of different ways depending on whether you want the binding itself to be immutable or whether you only care about the instance itself:

Pony – High Performance Safe Actor Programming
There's an http server and a small "sinatra" like web framework.

Someone might have done SQLite for Pony, but I'm not aware of it. Writing network protocol stuff in Pony is usually pretty easy and the C-FFI is usually pretty easy which generally makes writing database connectivity (for at least happy path basics) fairly easy. (Add lots of caveats here).
If you'd like to talk more in-depth, swing by the Zulip and myself and other folks from the community can help out with answers.

Why Does Windows Use Backslash as Path Separator?
Here's an example of someone citing a disagreement between CRT and shell32:
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/44650
This in addition to the Rust CVE mentioned elsewhere in the thread which was rooted in this issue:
https://blog.rust-lang.org/2024/04/09/cve-2024-24576.html
Here are some quick programs to test contrasting approaches. I don't have examples of inputs where they parse differently on hand right now, but I know they exist. This was also a problem that was frequently discussed internally when I worked at MSFT.

I hate Rust (programming language)
> instead of choosing a certain numbered version of the random library (if I remember correctly) I let cargo download the latest version which had a completely different API.
Yeah, they didn't follow the instructions and got burned. I still think that multiple things went wrong simultaneously for that experience. I wonder if more prevalent uses of `#[doc(alias = "name")]` being leveraged by https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/120730 (which now that I check only accounts for methods and not functions, I should get on that!) so that when changing APIs around people at least get a slightly better experience.

Show HN: Fancy-ANSI – Small JavaScript library for converting ANSI to HTML
Recently did something similar in Rust but for generating SVGs. We've adopted it for snapshot testing of cargo and rustc's output. Don't have a good PR handy for showing Github's rendering of changes in the SVG (text, side-by-side, swiping) but https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/121877/files has newly added SVGs.
To see what is supported, see the screenshot in the docs: https://docs.rs/anstyle-svg/latest/anstyle_svg/
