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)

Compilation of gripping C++ conference talks from 2023
C++23 is done. But C++ is not! In this talk, the author shares his personal perspectives on an ongoing and very active evolution of C++, updates on his cppfront experimental compiler, and why compatibility is essential to the further success of the C++ development.

C++ Safety, in Context

But his side project at Microsoft didn't gain traction with gcc, clang, etc and everybody else in the industry. So at this point, the C++ committee will be perceived as "so far behind" ... because there's nothing for them to vote on.

C++ Should Be C++
C++ has major flaws that cannot be rectified without serious breaking changes. With that said, Herb has been experimenting with a new cpp frontend with sane defaults [1].
In my opinion, the world is on standby until Anders Hejlsberg feels like tackling a modern, next generation systems language.
