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.

Basically, when you say 'structural editing', do you mean making an AST for every kind of input and having a modal command language that permits traversal and editing of that AST. Like what sapling https://github.com/kneasle/sapling is attempting to do ?
-
Why are we storing source code in plaintext?
For example, you can edit the AST directly: https://github.com/kneasle/sapling

There's a text editor being developed that edits code based on nodes of its AST representation - https://github.com/kneasle/sapling

Ask HN: Can we do better than Git for version control?
Yes, I think that we can do better than plain text as the source of truth, and thus git would probably need to change.
There's work around a bunch of languages that are not based on text, some have their own editor or a tool to manage a canonical representation in text for you that would make them friendlier to git.

There's many more akin projects listed in https://github.com/yairchu/awesome-structure-editors/blob/ma...
I can't wait fast enough for these ideas to reshape how we deal with programs and build stuff.

Is Haskell gaining or losing popularity?
Haskell seems to be pretty big. For example in this list of projects it appears to be the second most popular language (after TypeScript) :)

Ask HN: Any IDEs or text editor plugins with AST-driven navigation?

It would be interesting to have such a general project go somewhere.
While in principle structural editing sounds like an incredible advance, there are 'good enough' advantages to plain-text tools that make it a much more practical solution. The other issue is of course integration with existing tooling, which you either skip entirely or compromise on the design.
What I feel is missing, between the description of "old, bad state of things" and "utopian vision" is a review of some of the projects that already tried to achieve this ideal state. It turns out there are a number of them, and most of them failed to achieve any traction or impact [0].
The rants are very long, so I skimmed quickly the one about git; I understand the complaints, although git is only bringing me joy and no pain --interactive rebase, absorb and a few aliases made it a breeze. But in a similar fashion there are projects trying to solve its fundamental issues, like pijul(.org); what are they missing?

Ask HN: More “experimental“ UIs for editing/writing code?
Some good ones pops up in Projectional Programming [1] once in a while. The pinned thread links to the structure-editors github list [2] too.
