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: Does (or why does) anyone use MapReduce anymore?
the idea of map reduce remains a good one.
there are a number of interesting innovations in streaming systems that followed, mostly around reducing latency, reducing batch size, and alternate failure/retry strategies.
even hadoop could be hard to debug when hitting a performance ceiling for challenging workloads. the streaming systems took this even further, spark being notorious for fiddle with knobs and pray the next job doesn’t fail after a few hours, again.
i played around with the thinnest possible map reduce stack a while back[1][2]. i wanted to understand the performance ceiling for different workloads without all the impenetrable layers of data bureaucracy. turns out modern network and cpu are really fast when you stop adding random software layers like lasagna.
i think the future of data, for serious workloads, is gonna be bespoke. the primitives are just too good now.

How fast are Linux pipes anyway?
pipes are great. is the other process on another cpu or another machine? honestly who cares.

Learning Go as a Python Developer: The Good and the Bad
i dragged my feet on go for a long time. i also thought that skipping go and moving to rust was the play. a few years later, i still write python often, but i don’t build systems with it. python i now use like bash, to glue things together and automate random things. it’s a fantastic language and i will never drop it.
the verbosity of go is the biggest hurdle for a pythonista. the thought of giving up context managers, decorators, iterators, comprehensions, exceptions, coroutines, it’s unthinkable. in comparison go is ugly. your aesthetic mind screams in protest.
write go full time. dive in. as months pass, not only will those aesthetic objections fade, your mental model from python cleanly transforms to go. go is what mypy tried to be. the cost was aesthetic changes. the benefit is worth it.
the zen of python says if it’s easy to explain it might be a good idea. this is go, and it is.
i rebuilt a reasonably sized project from python[1] to go[2] over the last few years. i also have a system that i maintained both python[3] and go[4] implementations for, sharing a test suite in python.
go, like python, is fantastic. use both in whatever amount works for you. don’t read about them, build with them. you won’t regret it.

"14 Years of Go" by Rob Pike
I think the right answer to your question would be NimLang[0]. In reality, if you're seeking to use this in any enterprise context, you'd most likely want to select the subset of C++ that makes sense for you or just use C#.

Ask HN: Interest in a Rust-Inspired Language Compiling to JavaScript?
I don't think it's a rust-inspired language, but since it has strong typing and compiles to javascript, did you give a look at nim [0] ?
For what it takes, I find the language very expressive without the verbosity in rust that reminds me java. And it is also very flexible.

FYI, on the front page, https://nim-lang.org, in large type you have this:
> Nim is a statically typed compiled systems programming language. It combines successful concepts from mature languages like Python, Ada and Modula.

Things I've learned about building CLI tools in Python
You better off with using a compiled language.
If you interested in a language that's compiled, fast, but as easy and pleasant as Python - I'd recommend you take a look at [Nim](https://nim-lang.org).
And to prove what Nim's capable of - here's a cool repo with 100+ cli apps someone wrote in Nim: [c-blake/bu](https://github.com/c-blake/bu)

Mojo is now available on Mac
Chapel has at least several full-time developers at Cray/HPE and (I think) the US national labs, and has had some for almost two decades. That's much more than $100k.
Chapel is also just one of many other projects broadly interested in developing new programming languages for "high performance" programming. Out of that large field, Chapel is not especially related to the specific ideas or design goals of Mojo. Much more related are things like Codon (https://exaloop.io), and the metaprogramming models in Terra (https://terralang.org), Nim (https://nim-lang.org), and Zig (https://ziglang.org).
But Chapel is great! It has a lot of good ideas, especially for distributed-memory programming, which is its historical focus. It is more related to Legion (https://legion.stanford.edu, https://regent-lang.org), parallel & distributed Fortran, ZPL, etc.
