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.

Running ruby on Jupiter notebooks
But what to do if you are a ruby developer and irb and pry is not enough for you? Fortunately, with iruby gem you can run ruby code in Jupyter notebooks. So, lets start.
- How do I implement my own kernel like Jupyter?

Jupyter Notebooks for Ruby developers
Jupyter is a web app written in Python, so the very first step we need to do is to get your things dirty with Conda and pip. I do not even mention that you must have a fresh Python version on your machine. Next thing would be to install actual Jupyter. Finally, to be ready for some action, you will need to install iRuby which allows you to use Ruby within Jupyter. That’s it. Now you can just start the session with this command jupyter notebook.

Elixir's Livebook - Is Ruby Getting Behind?
Not wholly in ruby, but Jupyter notebooks have been around forever and there is a ruby kernel for it available, and it works great: https://github.com/SciRuby/iruby

Write Your Own Terminal
I can confirm that writing a terminal is fun, for the reasons mentioned in the article: it’s easy to get “self-hosting”, but then the possibilities are endless :)
In my case, this was about creating the terminal for EndBASIC (https://www.endbasic.dev/). I wanted to mix text and graphics in the same console, so I had to ditch Xterm.js and create my own thing. It was really exciting to see graphics rendering mix with text “just fine” when I was able to render the first line.

Ask HN: Whats the modern day equivalent of 80s computer for kids to explore?
I tried to set up a Raspberry Pi and configured it to boot into a simple window manager with DosBox full screen by default. I taught my kids to launch games within that and they learned the very basics… but it didn’t stick: they haven’t really gained any interest in how to do other stuff in the shell.
Anyway: check (my own) https://www.endbasic.dev/ which I’ve written precisely for the situation you describe :) You would actually have to /write/ the games first though!

EndBASIC
Slightly buried: Apache 2.0, written in Rust, https://github.com/endbasic/endbasic/
Definitely an interesting attempt to cut through layers of abstraction and make something that lets people make the computer do useful/interesting things. No idea how well they realize that vision, of course, but good idea.

TwinBASIC is a modern BASIC compiler
Somebody else brought it up in a separate comment, but because you specifically ask about the Raspberry, I'll mention EndBASIC (https://www.endbasic.dev/) here again :)
Supporting this platform has been a primary goal of mine, and in fact, one of the features (GPIO) only works on the Raspberry Pi today :) But there is a long road ahead. My vision is to create a minimal Linux image that boots straight into EndBASIC, and extend EndBASIC to give you more control of the Pi's hardware. The idea is to truly mimic the old C64 experience, but leveraging the power of modern hardware / infrastructure.

Learning BASIC Like It's 1983 (2018)
Agree with the author’s thesis of how the folks that “grew with computers” have an advantage over those approaching them now, in terms of understanding the inner workings. I’m not sure that this matters much in terms of solving actual problems though, which is probably a good thing.
But I somehow find it a little bit sad that this is the case, so I’ll plug my own https://www.endbasic.dev/ because it’s very fitting in this context :) I’ve been building it precisely as a way to understand everything that’s going on (although it’s still far from fulfilling that promise).
Also, buried in the article is a reference to the https://10print.org/ book. I recently came across it at HPB and it has been a pretty entertaining read. Couldn’t believe there was so much to write about such a simple little program!
