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.

Is there a programming language that will blow my mind?
Fractran and Thue are pretty ingenious ones. Inpla blew my mind.

For anyone interested how interaction nets work here's how one would program them directly:

Why don't schools teach debugging, or, more fundamentally, fundamentals?
I think in part it's because the idea that programming is text and math-based is too ingrained in society.
For example, we talk about programming languages. But IMO there are also programming systems such as Smalltalk [1]. I've programmed 2 years professionally in it, currently looking for an engagement in a different language (a curiosity thing, also a resume thing).
I think Smalltalk has a lot to offer by switching the programmer's view of thinking about programming systems rather than programming languages.
Moreover, programming systems is also not where it is at. One downside that Pharo in particular has is that the community is small. A lot of plugins/libraries that are a given in other languages aren't there! For some, however, this is a strength because one gets to learn much better how to build stuff from the ground up and tinker on it by yourself. Given that there is still a lot of low hanging fruit it is easy to become a contributor.
But this part, whether a community is big or small means that I think it's smarter to think about programming ecosystems where a programming language or programming system is the central hub connecting the programming community together.
Why don't schools teach about programming communities? See my first sentence ;-)

And Pharo is a good Smalltalk!

emacs version of Microsoft Access?
What you need is a cross platform GUI framework that still is a mutable environment allowing easy extend ability with a simple language. May I suggest Pharo Smalltalk?
- Pharo 11, the pure object-oriented language and environment is released!

When all the required dependencies are being found on your Fedor install we should wonder why "the VM seemed to hang and never started properly".

Ask HN: Alternatives to organizing code in files and folders?
Consider playing with Pharo [1], it shows how it can still use Git to store sources in background.
There is LivelyKernel [2] but some versions are more file-oriented (like Lively 4 [3)
