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.

The Cerberus C semantics [pdf]
People are working on the formal specification of rust. It isn't easy. There are at least three projects, maybe more if we include academia https://github.com/RalfJung/minirust has a summary of efforts in the end of the readme.

[...] each time a journalist is killed because of memory safety violations, one committee member who voted to add more UB or remove bounds checks should have their legs broken with a sledgehammer.
The real qualitative difference between the two is that C++ is developed as normative document shared by several software project. Rust, on the other hand, is developed as a software project, and its various efforts at codification, on the other hand, are targeted to make sure the pillars of the language is comprehensible and sound. Not at implementing a compiler front end in prose.

Tell HN: Rust Is Complex
Rust doesn’t handhold you for anything low-level. It’s just that Rust hides all that complexity beneath Unsafe Rust, which is an eldritch abomination of a language that no one quite knows all the rules yet… I hope the MiniRust project (https://github.com/RalfJung/minirust) succeeds in writing a formal spec of it someday.

Do we need a "Rust Standard"?
By the way, are you familiar with the MiniRust project?

Announcing: MiniRust
I compare MiniRust and Ferrocene at https://github.com/RalfJung/minirust#what-about-the-ferrocen.... :) TL;DR they re quite different in style, precision, and scope.
Yeah, I didn't even bother specifying a concrete syntax. This file specifies the "abstract syntax", i.e. the result produced by the parser; it doesn't really matter much how you choose to construct those datatypes.

Show HN: I made a better Perplexity for developers
It's "Zig" not "Zag". https://ziglang.org/ Zig is under heavy development, but there's a single page https://ziglang.org/documentation/0.12.0/ that is a reasonably comprehensive source of truth about the current state of the language.

How to Write a PHP Extension with Zig?
When writing code in a scripting language, sometimes you need that extra bit of performance (or maybe an async feature from Zig).

Bun - The One Tool for All Your JavaScript/Typescript Project's Needs?
NodeJS is by no means a slow runtime, it wouldn’t be so popular if it was. But compared to Bun, it’s slow. Bun was built from the ground up with speed in mind, using both JavascriptCore and Zig. The Bun team spent an enormous amount of time and energy trying to make Bun fast, including lots of profiling, benchmarking, and optimizations.

Bun 1.1
ntdll.dll!RtlUserThreadStart()
There are valid reasons to use APIs from NTDLL. Where I disagree with zig#1840 is the idea that it is always better to use NTDLL versions of API. Every other software ecosystem uses the standard Win32 APIs and diverging from that without a good reason seems like a good way to have unexpected behavior. One concrete example is most users and programmers expect Windows to redirect some file system paths when running on WOW64. But this is implemented in Kernel32, not ntdll.
