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.

A challenge: 52 languages in 52 weeks
Well, I only wrote a few dozen lines in each. (Those benchmarks I wrote are here, all in one file; scroll through to find them. Those two will be at the end.
-
'Switch' and 'Computed Goto'
Next I tried writing a custom C program just for the VM execute function; mostly this was a framework machine-generated from my interpreter, with the handlers necessary filled in manually.
This is my doswitch/u-based test program, a mini-interpreter executing a loop.

Is it possible to optimize this bytecode interpreter more?
Actually the next thing I did after trying svm.c was to port it to my systems language to see how my compiler managed with it. (Source is here.)

Where are the C Alternatives?
I have taken something away from Forth which is the (a--b) notation that describes the stack behaviour. I use it in these early docs of my IL here.

My history with Forth, and stack machines
My impression so far is (in general), Forth are practically limited to doing embedded/microcontroller development.
For us, web/mobile/desktop app devs, beside:
- 8th (https://8th-dev.com)
- Factor (https://factorcode.org)
Any suggestion which implementation we should look for?
- Forth: The programming language that writes itself: The Web Page
- Retro: A Modern, Pragmatic Forth
-
Pharo 11, the pure object-oriented language and environment is released!
Factor is also very much worth a look. Forth-style syntax, but with many of the ideas from CL and Smalltalk as well. In fact as a CL fan, I was very impressed by it. It's also quite "batteries included" a la Python.

A Dynamic Forth Compiler for WebAssembly
There's a note on the page from 2022-08-19, that a lot has been added to it. It also links to the github page[1] for the up-to-date changes.
I am a Lisp, April, APL/J/BQE, and Forth[2] aficionado. I did some file munging programs in Factor back in 2012 at my job to sort through theater attendance logs in Word to compile statistics.

What the hell is Forth? (2019)
Is there any "battery-included" ANS Forth (more or less like Python/Go) which provides access to concurrency, networking, database, GUI, etc?
Not an embedded device programmer, but mostly deals with frontend apps, and occasionally backend, so those are very relevant to me.
Or perhaps use "non-traditional" Forths like 8th (https://8th-dev.com) or Factor (https://factorcode.org)?
