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.

Ask HN: How to get a job as a compiler engineer?
"attribute grammar" and "novel" in the same statement? Whoa! I tried to publish a paper ~15 years ago on attribute grammars … without success and non-constructive review feedback. I am not aware of any company making use of attribute grammars in production. I had the goal of making use of attribute grammars as part of https://github.com/mozilla-spidermonkey/jsparagus (SmooshMonkey), but making a JavaScript parser generator which is as efficient as our hand-written parser is already surprisingly difficult, and the COVID ended the project.
On the topic of finding a job … I would be of no help. The only internships/jobs I found so far were all outside the usual applications forms:
-
Starlight: JS engine focused on performance in Rust.
Do you know about jsparagus? It's a Mozilla project to rewrite the frontend of their JS engine in Rust.

Ask HN: How to get a job as a compiler engineer?
MLIR (https://mlir.llvm.org/) is a quickly growing compiler toolkit which attempts to synthesize the learnings of LLVM and currently powers compilers for programming languages, machine learning and circuit design (https://github.com/llvm/circt). and there are a ton of companies with real employees working on it (including Microsoft) and MLIR is at the core of Chris Lattner’s new company, ModularAI. I’d recommend taking a look at it, there are a large number of ways to get involved and a number of paths from contributor to employee.

Rapid Open Hardware Development (ROHD) Framework by Intel
Might be good to target the CIRCT infrastructure at some point.

TSMC eyes Germany for first European chip production plant
Even small optimizations like removing unused pins from internal modules are often times opposed.
Chris Lattner and others are currently working on an "industry" version of firrtl as part of the CIRCT hardware compiler framework: https://github.com/llvm/circt

Chisel/Firrtl Hardware Compiler Framework
Did you see the work being done on CIRCT? https://github.com/llvm/circt
I remember one of the reasons you did not want to use firrtl was that its compiler is implemented in Scala and thus hard to integrate into other projexts. CIRCT will solve that problem by providing a firrtl compiler implemented in C++. Other languages like Verilog/VHDL and new high level languages for HLS-like designs are also on the todo list.
