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.

Lua: The Little Language That Could
I used luajit to write an alternative to bat because it was annoyingly slow for large files. It ended up being like 15 times faster. Such a cool language!

Scintilla is a free source code editing component with a permissive license
There’s a related project that’s really cool called scintillua that lets you use lpeg lexers for scintilla. It supports over 120 languages and it’s super easy to add new ones.

You can also use it as a standalone lua library. I packaged it up to make a faster (but much less feature full) alternative to bat.

Ask HN: What have you created that deserves a second chance on HN?
a fast alternative to bat for syntax highlighting in the command line (eg for fzf preview window)

Building the fastest Lua interpreter automatically
It's super fast and has some really interesting libraries. I used parsing expression grammars to write a faster alternative to bat.

What are the downsides of using Lua?
I recently made a project that uses a lua library to lex source files, then writes them out to stdout with syntax highlighting. Long story short at this point in my code I have a big indexed table of token names and positions. I just iterate over the token names and io.write an ANSI escape sequence that corresponds to the color type of token (simple table lookup), and then io.write the tokenized text.

A Tutorial on Portable Makefiles
I recently learned more Makefiles by using them for a recent project of mine. I wish I had seen this when I was working on it! I learned (stole) from the musl libc configure script and makefile instead.
Makefiles aren't as easy to work with as alternatives in other language ecosystems, but I found they let me do a lot without the need for extra dependencies.
Coincidentally the author of this blog post commented on one of my reddit posts and helped me work out a few kinks in the project.
