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.

Migrating Perl to Raku
In January 2018, I proposed a CPAN Butterfly Plan to convert Perl functionality to Raku as closely as possible to the original API. I stated this as a goal because Perl (as a programming language) is so much more than syntax alone. Ask anyone what Perl's unique selling point is, and they will most likely tell you it is CPAN.

Perl has numerous modules for practically everything. Try a search on https://metacpan.org for anything that takes your fancy.

New to Perl and have a few questions
I can point to the module library metacpan.org that has modules to do tons of different things -- I don't know what equivalent resouorce Python has.

5 great Perl scripts to keep in your sysadmin toolbox
All language package index websites are a poor imitation of metacpan.org. Without a doubt it is the single best package website I have used for finding packages, reading docs, examples, version changes, source repo. Everybody should be shamelessly copying it.

Day 5: CI for Win32-Wlan Perl module
While the indicates that this is a Windows-related thing, there are a number of packages on CPAN that are in the Win32 namespace, but also work on Linux. This one, it seems does not. It seems at least one of its dependencies, the Win32-API does not work on anything else besides Windows.

Use Dist::Zilla to Create a Perl Distribution
A Perl distribution is an archive of files that includes a Perl module. There are no official rules on what non-module files must be included in a distribution, but they often include (among other things) test scripts, a Makefile.PL, documentation, and the license. These distributions are commonly uploaded to CPAN, which is a place for Perl programmers to upload their Perl distributions for the purpose of sharing their code.

Need help for debugging with Devel:Camelcadedb
If there are modules being used, you can read their documentation using the perldoc command or looking online at https://metacpan.org
- metacpan unusable for anyone else?

Why isn't sign() defined for Complex numbers?
I'm more leaning towards the former. you could open an issue at https://github.com/Raku/problem-solving/issues so that it won't get forgotten.

Nowadays, self-hosting your compiler just doesn't demonstrate much of anything. It takes a lot more than a compiler to prove anything meaningful about your language. Time spent on self-hosting is mostly just time wasted. It mainly suggests you were not really serious.
A bunch of people really good at bikeshedding took over the conversation and by the time they were done, the language looked nothing like Perl and they decided to rename it after the butterfly.

Support arbitrary git URLs as Raku module dependencies.
Now, there are security issues with the "p6c" ecosystem, as one can change the contents of a module without a version bump (aka without anybody noticing). So the plan is that the "p6c" ecosystem will be disabled by default.

Grammatical Actions: further thoughts on cooperative Raku grammars | CodeSections
Either way, I posted the other day a problem solving issue on the topic. I think we should start looking into ways to properly supporting the mixed grammars, be it a trait-like thing (you've basically made a trait without being a trait), a token (like mine) or some other specialized regex syntax.

Perl Turns 34 Today
There was no admitting to themselves.
There was the personal realization that the two factions in what was then the Perl community, would never see eye to eye on what the language called "Perl 6" was. And that all of my efforts of reconciliation, such as the Perl Reunification Summit http://blogs.perl.org/users/gabor_szabo/2013/02/perl-reunifi... had been in vain.
Which lead me to open an issue https://github.com/Raku/problem-solving/issues/81 which in the end resulted in the rename to the Raku Programming Language https://raku.org .

Whatever same argument multiple times
The CALLER:: initiates a symbol lookup in the caller. The MY:: limits that lookup to just the caller's lexpad. This is confusing. cf Particular scopes of PseudoStash'es are not clear #294.

Annotations for the Complete Type (or Data::Record's Identity Crisis)
Over time, most of the features that were a selling point for Data::Record have been rendered silly. Namely, the idea of a Tuple and Dict in core has been tossed about since writing, and the introduction of type inference for lists into core leaves most of the collections as which Data::Record is defined (Data::Record::Tuple, Data::Record::List, Data::Record::Map) with the odd edge case to cover, of which I don't feel it does a very good job of in its current release's state.

What's everyone working on this week? [2021, week 26]
On my patrol of the wrongly named Discord channel #raku-beginners (I'm a Raku beginner since 2008, so this name is redundant), I spotted once again the question of iteration on nested Hashes and Arrays. Since the HyperWhatever wasn't taken yet (not everyone wants the colon) I wrote a proposal. I'm not sure if my nqp-foo is sufficient but I might give it a shot anyway. Unless lizmat wants to micro-optimise code that has not been written yet.
