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.

Scripts should be written using the project main language
> Sure, maybe for some esoteric edge cases, but 5 mins on https://learnxinyminutes.com/ should get you 80% of the way there, and an afternoon looking at big projects or guidelines/examples should you another 18% of the way.
Not for C++, and even for other languages, it's not the language that's hard, it's the idioms.
Python written by experts can be well-nigh incomprehensible (you can save typing out exactly one line if you use list-comprehensions everywhere!).
Someone who knows Javascript well still needs to know all the nooks and crannies of the popular frameworks.
Java with the most popular frameworks (Spring/Boot/etc) can be impossible for a non-Java programmer to reason about (where's all this fucking magic coming from? Where is it documented? What are the other magic words I can put into comments?)
C# is turning into a C++ wannabe as far as comprehension complexity goes.
Right now, the quickest onboarding I've seen by far are Go codebases.
The knowledge tree required to contribute to a codebase can exists on a Deep axis and a Wide axis. C++ goes Deep and Wide. Go and C are the only projects I've seen that goes neither deep nor wide.

New GitHub Copilot Research Finds 'Downward Pressure on Code Quality'
StackOverflow's making their own competing LLM for all this stuff.
IMO, one of the biggest problems with the way people use LLMs right now, is that they're being treated as a single oracle: to know Java, it must be trained on examples of Java.
It would be much better if their language comprehension abilities were kept separated from their knowledge (and there are development efforts in this direction), so in this example it would be trained to be able to be able to read a Java tutorial rather than by actually reading a Java tutorial, so when the overall system is asked to write something in Java, the language model within the system decides to do this by opening https://learnxinyminutes.com and combining the user query with the webpage.
I think this will help make the models more compact, which is a benefit all by itself, but it would also mean that knowledge can be updated much more easily.
Someone would have to actually do this in order to see if those benefits are worth the extra cost of having to load a potentially huge a tutorial into the context window, and likewise the extent to which a more compact training set makes the language comprehension worse.

Ask HN: How to learn to be a programmer in 20 years?
So you have studied programming for at least 5 years, what kinds of programs have you written? Apparently you have already applied your skills, since you have "created a good reputation among developers"? Why a time-frame of 20 years, why not 20 months or 20 weeks? Heck, you can learn a lot in even 20 days!
Once you have learned a few languages, libraries and frameworks then learning new stuff becomes much easier. At that point I'd recommend to check the website https://learnxinyminutes.com. Meanwhile, continue asking questions here and elsewhere :)
An other tip, if you are into computer science and algorithms stuff I recommend you try to solve problems which are posted at https://codegolf.stackexchange.com. You don't need to try solving them in less than X characters, but just to get them solved by any means necessary. And don't take too much bad influence from the posted solutions.

how long will it take to learn JS?
If you want a brief overview, go to https://learnxinyminutes.com/ and look for Javascript. I guess it should be roughly the time it took to learn C++ or possibly less, but JS has its own quirks. Often learning a second language is difficult as the first.

Anyone got good resources for experienced devs that don't know front end?
Very light compared to the other resources people have linked for you, but I love https://learnxinyminutes.com/

Becoming Rustacean:Awesome Free Online Resources to Learn Rust Programming
https://tourofrust.com/ is fun. Learning rust has a weird initial learning curve dealing with the aggressive analyzer/compiler and how you have to approach your variables, but after that initial hump it is one of the coziest languages I've used. Having what was initially a bit of a nag, is now a godsend when i'm getting red-squiggles in vscode for a typo in my SQL string for a misnamed column, or a field in my template was removed and so my struct shows how it's now unused.

58 Rust Resources Every Learner Should Know in 2023
1. ๐ถ Tour of Rust is a step-by-step guide for the Rust programming language. It gives a nice overview of the language and allows the learner to also modify the code examples to experiment.
-
I wanna be a crab.
Another good learning resource is the Tour of Rust, which is more hands-on than The Book. It has a code example (which you can edit and run directly) in every section.

Rust slow tutorial
The bonus by learning this way is that the Rust compiler gives amazing feedback allowing you to intentionally experiment by breaking the examples. https://tourofrust.com/ was my first superficial pass.

35 Rust Learning Resources Every Beginner Should Know in 2022
1. Tour of Rust is a step-by-step guide for the Rust programming language. It gives a nice overview of the language and allows the learner to also modify the code examples to experiment. I would say that the Tour of Rust is not a resource that you would rely on by itself.
