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.

Is there a way to create namespaces/hierarchy in the documentation with LDoc?
I am trying to document my code and I am using LDoc for that and for OOP I am using the library middleclass. All of my classes are in a main framework folder and inside that I have each namespace as a folder and then classes that are specific to that namespace in those folders.

Lua: The Little Language That Could
The ConTeXt typesetting system tightly integrates Lua. One aspect of Lua that I dislike is its inability to easily write OOP-ish code. What's impressive about the language is that it can be extended to do so in astonishingly little code:
* https://github.com/kikito/middleclass
With OOP in place, I was able to typeset a hexagonal grid and a symbolic representation of a neural network on top, using a more OOP-like approach. The classes are straightforward.
A vertex defines a point in 2D space:
* https://github.com/DaveJarvis/keenwrite-themes/blob/main/bos...
An edge connects two vertices:
* https://github.com/DaveJarvis/keenwrite-themes/blob/main/bos...
A graph connects edges:
* https://github.com/DaveJarvis/keenwrite-themes/blob/main/bos...
A priority queue serves for ordering graph edges by weight of adjoining vertices:
* https://github.com/DaveJarvis/keenwrite-themes/blob/main/bos...
With these concepts in hand, we can typeset a grid and a "neural network" on top:
* https://github.com/DaveJarvis/keenwrite-themes/blob/main/bos...
Here's an example of the output for chapter 1:

And chapter 14, where the "network" has grown in complexity:

This is for my near future hard sci-fi book on AGI. I'm looking for alpha readers to give me feedback. See profile for contact details.

To all plugin authors: standard class realization
To reduce the amount of boilerplate code, I created the fork of middleclass repo suitable for Neovim plugin managers: it just adds a symlink to middleclass.lua file in lua/ directory. middleclass is well known and tested, so I suggest using it as a standard class realization. I also open a pull request to merge it upstream.

Is doing OOP in lua considered bad practice?
Not exactly what op asked, but if you want classes in Lua definitely check out https://github.com/kikito/middleclass

OOP in Love2d
Like /u/TheMightyHUG pointed out below, there are patterns you can use to do OOP without any extra help. In the past I have used some libraries to improve the ease of doing so, specifically middleclass: https://github.com/kikito/middleclass

A complete implementation of the Set data structure in Lua
Same, but when I do I like when authors include everything in one file so it's easy to manage. Here we have the library, some small 10 line file with helper functions that's required and we also need to remember about the licence. Take middleclass as an example, one file, license included, ready to plug and develop.

Why Fennel?
Now I like lua, and think single pass is the way to go for interpreted, since you don't have the disadvantage of a slow compile time no matter how big your codebase gets, BUT its not great to write in. things like +=, ++, are not possible, which means the only solution is to transpile into it, which has led to some good languages like moonscript[0], teal[1] which offers static type checking, an absolute must as your codebase grows.

Forth: The programming language that writes itself: The Web Page
That can be very productive and clever, but be - and stay - aware that such polyglot solutions tend to be maintenance headaches in the longer run.
There is a really nice open source project out there that allows you to train your hearing and your sightreading, but it's written in the authors own language which in turn compiles to JavaScript and the headache to set up their toolchain is such that I haven't bothered fixing any of the bugs that I'm aware of (and there are plenty).
https://sightreading.training/
https://github.com/leafo/sightreading.training
It's written in a language called 'Moonscript':
https://github.com/leafo/moonscript
Which compiles to Lua. Which compiles to JS.
Madness. Nice madness, but still, it stopped me from being a contributor.

Lua: The Little Language That Could
RE: the cost of switching at this point, what about languages that compile to Lua? Like https://moonscript.org/. That would let you keep the legacy code, no?

Trying to make a website with Lapis
In the case of Lapis, it is actually written in Moonscript, which needs a few more things.

- Using Lua with C++

Using other languages
There's also some languages made to compile straight to Lua: - MoonScript is the most popular Lua wrapper - it's built to be more Python-like, featuring indentation-based scopes, function calls without parentheses, lambda syntax, list comprehension, and much more. - Yuescript is a modern update to MoonScript that adds more features (I haven't used it myself, so I'm not entirely sure exactly how it differs from MS). - Teal is a version of Lua that adds static typing for better code standards.
