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.

Lua has been a real eye opener for this Java dev
If you Like Lua's syntax and you wish you could achieve C speeds and have the metaprogramming ability of Java (Generics), by all means try https://nelua.io/ , you won't regret it!
- Minimal, simple, efficient, statically typed, compiled, metaprogrammable, safe, and extensible systems programming language
-
Pixelhopper: Tiny animated GIF player in C, with seeking, pause, etc (Linux x11 only, for now)
I should be uploading the code sometime this week, by the way. I'm looking for a way to bundle the code (which is written in Nelua) in a single C file, so anyone can build it without having to install all of the language and the dependencies.
- Using Lua with C++
-
Is it possible to make an OS in Lua?
You could probably write a kernel in Nelua or Luau, though I don't know of any efforts to do so.
- Bog – small, strongly typed, embeddable language

Nelua, AOT statically typed Lua
I already asked this question exactly 2 years ago: https://github.com/edubart/nelua-lang/discussions/51
- data types in function definition

DMD Compiler as a Library: A Call to Arms
Here's the pipeline spitting out the same error as on my macbook did.

My favourite Git commit (2019)
Not completely on topic (if you read TFA) but my favorite Git commit is by compiler badass and HN frequenter, where he checks in an entire C compiler to the D language repo:
-
The C Bounded Model Checker: Criminally Underused
A new generated code alone is 4000 lines long [1]. The actual code added is just 2000 lines, and some are used to pay debts, I mean, to make a proper code generator (which can be alternatively written in a simpler scripting langauge). In any case it is never comparable to the entier C parser proper.

OpenD, a D language fork that is open to your contributions
D is completely opensource already (https://github.com/dlang/dmd). The "open" of OpenD is just ADR saying that OpenD will be more open to new language features than D has historically been.
-
The OpenD Programming Language (fork of D)
The reference compiler, DMD, is open source: https://github.com/dlang/dmd
But they don't accept just any Pull Request or features the community submits, understandably. There's a process called DIP for language improvements: https://github.com/dlang/DIPs/blob/master/DIPs/README.md
However, by some accounts, it's really hard to get anything through.
Given D already has so many feature, I find that to be a good thing , to be honest, by not everyone agrees, of course.
