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.

Ask HN: What is the most impactful thing you've ever built?
I don't know if this is impactful, but the projecy that reached out to the most people that I can think of is Mil[0]. It is a small stack-based language that I wrote in C as a learning language. I first showcased it on HN, thinking nothing much than to get feedback. It turned out to do decently well in views and reach, even reaching out to the Chinese tech community because someone posted it on a Chinese social website (I forgot the domain name).
Even though Mil's popularity is pretty typical of my other projects, but seeing it going out to other social media is pretty cool.

Ask HN: Parrot language copycat my Gravity source code. What can I do?
I found out that the Parrot programming language (https://github.com/parrot-language/parrot) did copycat line by line my Gravity programming language (https://github.com/marcobambini/gravity).
I know that I used a very permissive license and that the project can be forked and modified by anyone but this is a theft more than a fork.
What can I do in this situation?
- When does garbage collector start in Gravity?
- Binding a Language to Gravity

Lua's Lack of “Batteries”
This is gonna be subjective, because it depends on what your priorities are.
The two alternatives at the top of my list are Gravity and Wren. They are both designed for the same general profile that Lua has—a scripting language, safe to use, embeddable, with a small VM (low code size).

- https://wren.io/
The language design choices are nice and familiar to people who are used to other existing languages. Lua is a bit radical.
Two other options are AngelScript and Squirrel, which are both a bit older and more mature than Gravity and Wren. In my opinion they are

- http://squirrel-lang.org/
Finally, it’s much more feasible these days to embed something like Mono, and Guile has gotten a lot better.
