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.
nelua-lang
- Buzz: A lightweight statically typed scripting language
- 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
If you are interested, the README.md [1] explains everything in detail.
One under-advertised feature of the language is that it supports WASM: https://github.com/edubart/nelua-lang/discussions/11
It’s been used successfully to make games for virtual game consoles like wasm4 and GamerCade.
- data types in function definition
-
Crystal 1.6.0 Is Released
I'd think it would be system level programming with acceptably good performance with high level abstractions and the Ruby flavor. Similarly is Nelua[1] which uses Lua's syntax and APIs and compiles to C.

Did Rust ever have breaking syntax changes?
There’s a rust-prehistory repo preserving Rust’s compiler code at very early stage. You can see how Rust looks like at that time.
-
What should be included in a history of the Rust language?
https://github.com/graydon/rust-prehistory is another good resource, particularly the doc/notes directory. All kinds of good stuff in there that looks pretty different than today. I also liked Marijn's talk, The Rust That Could Have Been.
-
Is there somewhere I can view the history of rust before 1.0?
There's also this repository depending how far back you want
-
How to Learn Modern Rust
If, on the other hand, you’re interested in pre-modern Rust, there’s always this repo: https://github.com/graydon/rust-prehistory
-
Array type annotation syntax: String[] -vs- [String]
For some snapshots on the history of the language up to 1.0 check out: https://brson.github.io/archaea/. For some really ancient stuff check out the graydon/rust-prehistory/ repo. Also looking at the oldest commits and issues on the Rust repo can be pretty interesting. It's a great public resource.

Happy 12th Birthday, Rust
As Graydon Hoare notes in the comments on GitHub this wasn't the first repo so the real history goes back even further. He's also shared a "prehistory" repo [1] which is interesting to browse. The first commit [2] in _that_ repo is from 2008 but Graydon mentions starting work back in 2006.
Anyway in a sense this repo represents Rust in the real world rather than in gestation, so seems apt to call it the birthday.

I created my own programming language that compiles into Lua code but uses a more C/Rust like syntax
Early Rust was very different (example). It is almost certain that modern Rust took a lot of cues from Go. And, as above, Go was obviously heavily inspired by C, just like your language. So, all told, where you landed is likely very much what is expected.

How is Rust written with Rust?
The pre-git history was imported as https://github.com/graydon/rust-prehistory

Graydon Hoare: “Rust didn't start ”as a research project at Mozilla in 2010“
Two other links related to ancient Rust:
* https://github.com/graydon/rust-prehistory -> the code from before the rust-lang/rust repo
* https://youtube.com/watch?v=79PSagCD_AY -> a talk I gave around the 1.0 release giving my personal perspective on the history.
Oh heck, one more fun one: https://github.com/brson/archaea

What is Rust written in ?
My understanding is that there was, yes. I believe this is the first commit introducing LLVM: https://github.com/graydon/rust-prehistory/commit/90aec4a620357b1f47de2e22cfd75371950a96ff
What are some alternatives?
terra - Terra is a low-level system programming language that is embedded in and meta-programmed by the Lua programming language.
LuaJIT - Mirror of the LuaJIT git repository
moonscript - :crescent_moon: A language that compiles to Lua
godot-lua-pluginscript - Godot PluginScript for the Lua language, currently based on LuaJIT's FFI
red - Red is a next-generation programming language strongly inspired by Rebol, but with a broader field of usage thanks to its native-code compiler, from system programming to high-level scripting and cross-platform reactive GUI, while providing modern support for concurrency, all in a zero-install, zero-config, single ~1MB file!
language-lua - Lua parser and pretty-printer
Nim - Nim is a statically typed compiled systems programming language. It combines successful concepts from mature languages like Python, Ada and Modula. Its design focuses on efficiency, expressiveness, and elegance (in that order of priority).
