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.

Show HN: Winglang – a new Cloud-Oriented programming language
oh boy -- lot's of work ahead for you folks, best of luck! I'll be watching this project. We do a ton with GCP so when this matures we'll be looking at it more.
How do you compete with -- if at all -- with Ballerina lang? https://ballerina.io/

crafting interpreters or engineering a compiler?
PS: This advice stems from my personal experience while building BallerinaLang. We spent the first two to three years working with our own bytecode interpreter before we transitioned to JVM bytecode. Our LLVM backend is still under development and has a long way to go.

Is there a programming language that will blow my mind?
Considering your rich background in C++ and Haskell, along with your interest in functional programming paradigms, I wouldn't necessarily predict that Ballerina will "blow your mind." However, you might find certain familiar syntax while encountering numerous "why?" questions.

Cloud, Why So Difficult?
Ballerina actually showed some innovative ways to do it and is an interesting language to keep an eye on... finally, Unison decided to focus on its cloud offering and seamless distributed functional programming. Also a really cool language.

What are some new/up and coming programming languages? Where did you find them?
Last week I found Ballerina (https://ballerina.io/) via a comment here on HN, which got me thinking that I've gotten a bit out of touch with newer/up and coming languages in development. My guess is that, if I missed Ballerina before a week ago, I've probably missed quite a bit more.
What have I missed? And it would be cool to see where people are finding these types of things too.

Are there any languages with transactions as a first-class concept?
https://ballerina.io/ and https://www.asyncapi.com/ seem like two efforts to move in this direction a bit for web APIs.

Wing: A cloud-oriented programming language
Reminds me of https://ballerina.io/
... which looks actually pretty nice, but I suspect the name of the project is a terrible marketing decision that will hold adoption back ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ask HN: Guidelines for making clear architecture diagrams
Second this.
Reference for anyone looking I to it: https://c4model.com/
There is also quite a lot of options for helping create these diagrams. I've found https://structurizr.com/ to be the best of what I've tried so far.

Ask HN: How do you document complex software systems?
The C4 model [0] provides a mostly sensible structure and techniques for representing pure software systems across different abstraction levels.
For systems involving software and hardware, or other complex interfacing (both technology and bureaucracy) this starts to delve into the universe of systems engineering. There's a decent assembly of knowledge on that in the SEBoK [1].
As another commenter has already called out too, one of the most valuable sources of information is also _why_ a system is in its current form and _how_ that's changed over time. ADR's [2] really do a good job at nailing this for just about any scale.

A View on Functional Software Architecture
There a various standards for documenting software architecture, like arc42 or C4. While useful and somewhat well-known (there is certainly a correlation here), here architecture documentation can be further simplified, particularly due to the self-similarity of project and component. Following is a small template, that can also serve as a project's and component's README:
- The C4 model for visualising software architecture
-
Inkscape Cloud Architect
I would suggest that if your architecture diagrams are a bunch of icons provided by AWS/Azure/GCP with lines pointing at each other... you are doing it wrong.
The 'what does this box do for my system' is vastly more important than the 'which in vogue offering from my cloud provider implements it'.
I highly suggest folks take a look at the C4 Model: https://c4model.com/

How to create interactive zoomable software architecture diagrams
We often use abstractions in software engineering to communicate complex architectures and software systems. In this article, we’ll discuss how abstractions are inherently hierarchical and how the C4 model provides a nested structure for defining your software architecture. We’ll then cover how IcePanel allows you to create interactive and zoomable diagrams for your audience to zoom in and out of different levels of technical detail.

Architecture diagrams enable better conversations
You probably want https://c4model.com/ which explains what a C4 architecture diagram is. (See the first footnote in the article.)
