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 are some of the most elegant codebases in your favorite language?
-
Scala isn't fun anymore
The author is the creator of Monix and implemented the first version of cats-effect. He knows what he is doing.
-
How many of you are using Monix?
I haven't had the pleasure to use it personally, but will probably check it out once Monix switches to CE3. As far as I'm aware, this requires a major rewrite of the library: https://github.com/monix/monix/issues/1502

Alternative to RxJava/RxScala
The Observer is a bit different, it returns Future[Ack] for built-in back-pressure. We can Continue / Stop synchronously or asynchronously.
-
What languages have "implicit awaits" ?
cats-effect or monix or ZIO for Scala.

Spark – A web micro framework for Java and Kotlin
https://vertx.io/
It's actively maintained with full time developers, performant, supports Kotlin out of the box, and has more features?
-
Reactive database access on the JVM
Hibernate Reactive integrates with Vert.x, but an extension allows to bridge to Project Reactor if wanted
-
Looking for a coroutine-based message broker implementation for inter-app communication.
Have you looked at Vert.x?
-
What's the state of server-side frameworks with Kotlin support today for small teams?
Explicitly so:
-
Anything close beam/otp for other languages?
I really like Eclipse Vert.x... As both an Erlang dev and Java dev, it's a great synergy and soon to have support for Virtual Threads similar to BEAM.
-
Go doesn’t do any magical stuff and I love that
There are many lean, popular, non-magical libraries in Java land. (https://quarkus.io/, https://vertx.io/, etc). Spring is a monster 😱. Its like comparing Kubernetes (written in Go) with some lean framework in another lang.
- PFA vs SRL
-
Favorite hidden gem library?
Eclipse Vert.x - Add amazing Async to any Java stack
-
Codeberg a GitHub Alternative from Europe
Vert.X example: https://github.com/eclipse-vertx/vert.x/blob/master/src/main/java/examples/EventBusExamples.java#L106 (couldn't even find docs)
