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.

Writing a C compiler in 500 lines of Python
While I suspect I would learn more writing a tokenizer and parsing logic myself I find grammars much easier to read and maintain.
ANTLR is pretty good and is supported across several languages and something I had previously used for some quick Elasticsearch query syntax munging in Python. It also means you can often start from an already existing grammar.
The JS version of ANTLR didn't seem to work for me so for the SQL/JSONPath stuff ended up using the Moo lever and Nearly parser which was rather pleasant. https://nearley.js.org

Applicative Parsing
Parsers in nearley.js [1] are written in a very readable EBNF-like DSL; then they get desugared down to a JS file that's a lot like your snippet.

How do you start your own programming language?
Here's a javascript library that lets you generate your own language that compiles to Javascript. https://pegjs.org/ It's a compiler generator. You can either use the command line tool and feed it your grammar (You have to write that) and use the generated parser.js which can then run your program, or use peg.js as a dependency and generate your parser at run time before feeding it your program.

The library they're having trouble with is the most common parser generator in javascript, peg.js, which has about 80% of the market

PEG Parsers: sometimes more appropriate than Regex
In past blog posts, where I've written about PEG, I've used Parsimonious in Python, such as three of my solutions to the 2020 Advent Of Code challenges (here, (here)[https://dev.to/meseta/advent-of-code-day-18-finally-using-peg-grammar-in-python-in-the-way-it-s-supposed-to-3253], and (here)[https://dev.to/meseta/advent-of-code-day-19-abusing-peg-grammar-in-python-the-way-it-s-not-supposed-to-2beg]). This time, because the rest of the website is javascript, I will be using PEG.js instead to avoid adding an extra programming language to the codebase.

Formal Logic Rules for a computer-assisted RPG
Update: I started writing a grammar for this language in PEG using PEG.js. This was super fun, I'll take a stab at an interpreter next, that should be much harder.

I'd like to ask you guys a question, how or in what way is a Programming Language made?
I was going to post the same thing. This really helped me understand the concepts better back in the day. They also have examples for some popular languages on their github: https://github.com/pegjs/pegjs/tree/master/examples
