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.

It's a brand new year! January 2023 What Are You Working On?
I've updated the README file of my github repository where I have put solutions to Advent of Code. The README file outlines my thoughts and considerations when writing the code which uses a minimal subset of the full Ada language, uses AdaControl to know the intended subset is used, how memory safety and resource management in general has been done when not taking advantage of SPARK. https://github.com/joakim-strandberg/advent_of_code

Outsider's Guide to Ada
I am aware that controlled types are associated with performance penalty although I haven't fully understood why. When I write Ada code I try to avoid using them although sometimes there seem to be no workaround like for example when using Gautier's multi precision integer implementation when doing Advent of Code 2021 (https://github.com/joakim-strandberg/advent_of_code, the "Big_Int_Holder" package in advent_of_code_2021.adb). Return value optimization (RVO) does make me think of extended return and limited types in Ada 2005, although as was discussed in the video that move semantics is more than that. Thanks for bringing up the subject!

AdaCore and Ferrous Systems Joining Forces to Support Rust
It's kind of the opposite for me. It takes much less time to understand what Ada-written code is doing compared to any of the C-type languages, or even Rust. It is very plainly written. Verbose, yes, but much more plainly written.
Just take a look at this, and tell me it's not legible: https://github.com/joakim-strandberg/advent_of_code/blob/mas...

Screen-free coding for children: the xylophone maze
and https://codecombat.com, which has been around for a while now.
I think this paradigm (navigating a character using "move" function invocations) is good but kind of exhausts its usefulness after a while. I question whether my daughter learns coding this way or just is playing a turn based top down platformer. The most code like thing is when you use 'loops' to have characters repeat sequences of moves. I think when kids grok these things these apps become just types of glofiried education flavoured video games. There are a lot of things in kodable for instance that I feel are just basic web games with coding terms slapped on it.
https://scratch.mit.edu/ is more like 'programming' imo, even at the level of the objective -- having a blank canvas to create something. It seems a little advanced for my kids right now though.

Ask HN: Yo wants to build a game, I'm lost. What can I do?
+1 Scratch! My son started with it, then expanded into Roblox/Lua.
Children can download other people's games and experiment there. Scratch also has pre-made art, sounds, music.

Ask HN: Best tools for 4/5 year old to learn programming?
I'm looking for the best systems to help a 4/5 year old get the basics of programming. My daughter has shown interest in what I do, and loves puzzles and building things. Looking for something visual and fun that can start her down the path of logic and creating with computers.
I have a passing familiarity with Scratch [1], which I'm now looking into more, but am hoping others can share their knowledge and experience in this area.
