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.

What C++ library do you wish existed but hasn’t been created yet?
I'm not sure this is quite what you're asking for, but this library has been super helpful to me in the past : https://github.com/Neargye/magic_enum

Also, a shoutout to Magic Enum: https://github.com/Neargye/magic_enum
- Favorite Ways of Stringifying Enums
-
enum_name (yet another enum to/from string conversion utility >=C++11)
What does this have to offer over magic_enum?

quill v2.7.0 released - Asynchronous Low Latency C++ Logging Library
But it's a hack, and I prefer not to use hacks in production, because of their significant limitations:
-
Enums print numbers instead of words
You can either write a to string(view) function for your enum or use https://github.com/Neargye/magic_enum
-
Enums with methods
Why reinvent the wheel? magic_enum
-
Error: Boost bimap can't convert const CompatibleKey to Key&
Also if you want to convert enum members to string representation I suggest you just use magic_enum instead, much smaller dependency.

Macro to write enum and converter from and to string
Magic Enum provides that.

Show HN: Matcheroni, a tiny C++20 header library for building lexers/parsers
Very cool, and I like the name!
I'd be interested in reading about how Matcheroni compares with PEGTL and Lexy.

Use PEGTL to remove my clunky homemade parser
I found a library I wanted to test: Pegtl

What are some cool modern libraries you enjoy using?
I like PEGTL

Are C/C++ developers allowed to import libraries to make coding easier or are they expected to build every functions and methods from scratch (without importing anything like String.h)?
Sure - libraries that are expected to be entirely self-contained. The one that comes to mind is PEGTL, a parser combinator library that is intended to be embedded inside a larger program. Making it import more dependencies would break this philosophy. Similarly, in the Rust world, there are a variety of "no-std" crates that should be able to be imported even if the standard library is not available on the target platform.

TIL: Visual Studio has quantum state values 🤨
The program in the post was just an example meant to illustrate the problem. Originally, this (new) behavior of MSVC broke my code in the PEGTL, see [this commit](https://github.com/taocpp/PEGTL/commit/e3c8cb499dc3d1d76d23f2d5d79469dcb15550c5) that I needed to apply to fix it.

We Built a C++ Rendering Engine for the Web
As a professional C++ programmer I feel a lot of the reasons C++ gets this response is because it's simply not "batteries included" like Go or Rust.
C++ is a very powerful, unopinionated language, that gives you a lot of freedom to attack your problem domain the way you best see fit.
If you're writing a networked application, don't use POSIX sockets, go and find a higher level library. If you're parsing complex text formats, don't iterate over buffers with char*'s, go pick up PEGTL[0]. If you're working on graphs, or need to properly index in-memory data, go pick up Boost[1][2]. If you need a GUI, go pick up Qt.
It's extremely common in C++, due to the lack of a universal package management solution, for people to try and "muddle through" and do shit themselves when it's far outside their core competency.
At one of my last employers, the core product was parsing JSON with std::regex, simply because they couldn't be bothered to integrate a JSON library.

Is there anything like sly for C++?
You are looking for Boost.Spirit (https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_76_0/libs/spirit/doc/x3/html/index.html) or PEGTL (https://github.com/taocpp/PEGTL)
-
Why no more Lex/Yakk/ANTLR/whatever?
I personally prefer to use parsing combinator libraries in C++, where the "grammar" is just part of normal C++ and directly integrate. Examples are Boost.Spirit, pegtl, or (my own) lexy.
