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.

Extremely reducing the size of NPM package
Minifiers are used to reduce the size of the bundle. They can remove unused code, shorten expressions, and so on. And Now there are already several popular minifiers, and they continue to appear: more familiar ones - written in JavaScript - Terser and UglifyJS, even Babel has its own version of the minifier, there are also more modern SWC (written in Rust) and ESBuild (written in Go), and a bunch of other lesser-known minifiers. And I recommend you to look at this repository. It contains up-to-date test results of various popular minifiers.

Minify and Gzip (2022)
This minify/gzip size effect is a well known quirk to developers of javascript minifiers. The minifier's symbol mangling algorithm often has a more pronounced effect than does advanced AST optimization.
This website has real life data on the matter for popular libraries:
* https://github.com/privatenumber/minification-benchmarks
Compare the trophies indicating smallest size for Minified versus Minzipped (gzip). Generally the smallest minified size yields the smallest minified+gzip size, but there are some notable anomolies outside the range of statistical noise. It is not practical for a javascript minifier to take a compression algorithm into account - it would blow up the minify timings exponentially.

Overview of the next-gen frontend dev tools
There are many minifiers such as terser and uglify. But, because minifying also require to parse the JS, it is actually possible to use esbuild and SWC to minify the code. Here's a benchmark of the main minifiers.

I have done a full benchmark of a POST REST API on my computer: Node.js vs Fastify vs Express.js vs Deno vs Bun vs GO. Node.js is used WITH and WITHOUT clustering on 6-core I7 processor

Bun v0.6.0 โ Bun's new JavaScript bundler and minifier
i just tried recompiling v0.0.2 (https://github.com/just-js/just/releases/tag/0.0.2) of just-js and comparing it to current. for the completely static build on ubuntu 22.04 i see following:
0.0.2 (v8 v8.4.371.18) - file size: 15.2 MB, startup RSS: 8.4 MB

Is Scala to Java the same relationship as TypeScript has with ECMAScript?
Not at all. Javascript, as well as java compiled into the bytecode, but just incrementally and at the runtime. You cannot compile typescript into bytecode directly (at least it intend to be like that). You can even compile js to executable (https://github.com/just-js/just). So no, typescript transpiles to javascript, whereas scala compiles to bytecode, it's different things

A C++ web/application framework I have been building for the last 12yrs
Trust me, these guys are insane and go to really extreme levels and use optimization techniques which are not generally prevalent among the general programming fraternity. for eg, look at pico.v it is awesome and just-js is truly unbelievable, then there is faf, most of them combine low level programming trickery to reach those insane numbers. Also some of the code may not be useful in a production app but they actually extract the juice out of the metal at every instance. Memory optimizations, compiler optimizations, postgresql wire implmentations, rust black magic, these guys are really crazy and passionate.
