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.

Why the fuck are we templating YAML? (2019)
Personally I prefer INI over nearly all configuration formats.

YAML: The Missing Battery in Python
Essentially the reasons given here. (This is from an INI parser developer, but I don’t think it’s particularly biased.)

Why the fuck are we templating YAML? (2019)
I'm designing a simple dev environment from scratch.
My solution for this is a sandboxed lua for programatic configuration:
https://github.com/civboot/civlua/tree/main/lib/luck
I can't stand JSON (for many reasons) so I created a serialization format that combines it and CSV for nested objects
https://github.com/civboot/civlua/tree/main/lib/tso
I wish the industry would standardize on a solution like this. IMO you shouldn't use a "real" language unless you can lock it down to be determinisitic. JSON is supposed to be human readable but fails for lots of real-world data like multi-line strings or lists of records.
CSV is more readable but doesn't supported nested objects.

Show HN: Cassette, a Personal Programming Language
Have you tried for any length of time?
For example, there's lots of little places where aligning keywords helps clarify code
https://github.com/civboot/civlua/blob/main/ds/ds.lua#L89
Formatters HATE putting multiple statements on a single line, but when they go it makes it so much easier to parse (for a person)

LuaX: A Lua Dialect with JSX
I've built a lua-based markdown which is more sane (from a programmer's PoV) than markdown but still concise
https://github.com/civboot/civlua/tree/main/cxt
I'm planning on supporting syntax highlighting. I could imagine creating a cxx that does what LuaX is doing, except it would support rendering to the command line as well as html.
Want to team up?

Unveiling the big leap in Ruby 3.3's IRB
Reading "big features" like "multi line input" makes me feel more than ever that we really need an ultra light weight embeddedable text editor.
I wrote one, and while it's not yet complete I can say it's really _not that hard_
