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.

Cpp2 and cppfront – An experimental 'C++ syntax 2' and its first compiler
Any good CMake integration besides https://github.com/modern-cmake/cppfront?
-
Good reasons to NOT use CMake
For another example, the CMake wrapper I wrote for cppfront automatically translates .cpp2 files to .cpp. This is simply impossible in Meson which, again, requires end-users to find the cppfront binary, write a generator rule, and then run it.

Using cppfront with Meson
And this is the equivalent CMake code using the modern-cmake/cppfront project:

Using cpp2/cppfront with CMake
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.23) project(example) include(FetchContent) FetchContent_Declare( cppfront GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/modern-cmake/cppfront.git GIT_TAG main # or an actual git SHA if you don't like to live dangerously ) FetchContent_MakeAvailable(cppfront) add_executable(main main.cpp2)

Cpp2 and cppfront – An experimental 'C++ syntax 2' and its first compiler
The roadmap for Carbon [0] mentions wanting to have basic, non-trivial programs written in Carbon by the end of 2024. They're aiming for a v0.1 release in 2025. If it gains traction, they're aiming for a v1.0 beyond 2027.
I don't think anyone outside Google will seriously adopt this before it reaches v1.0. Even within Google, they may choose other options.

Odin Programming Language
Carbon was started by Chandler Carruth, at Google, but they wanted to move it to broader governance quickly. It's not under the Google GitHub today, but its own org.

C++ Should Be C++
What do you think about Carbon[1]? I am hopeful.
