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.

Announcing Hush, a modern shell scripting language

Bash functions are better than I thought
> there isn't really an entry point in murex scripts
I have a nice trick in NGS for that. Under the idea that "small scripts should not suffer", script is running top to bottom without "entry point". However, if the script has defined main() function, it is invoked (with command line arguments passed).
Example - https://github.com/ngs-lang/nsd/blob/afe0cad5e506ec4ee2fa924...
> `args` still contains more boilerplate code than I'm happy with
Is there anything preventing you to have exactly the same functionality but with syntactic sugar that it looks like parameters declaration? (Just to be clear, keeping all the ARGV machinery).
Something like (assuming local variables are supported; if not, it could still be $args[Flags] etc):

No, you can't do it better in Python or bash (challenge)
Doing DevOps today? 99% either abuse bash or abuse a general purpose programming language.
bash does not meet any modern expectations from a programming language: syntax, error handling, data structures
General purpose languages such as Python, Ruby, etc are not domain specific enough to have the desired facilities.
Here is small example of straightforward solution to a small problem: list all CloudFormation stacks that are managed by the given CodePipeline.

jc: Converts the output of popular command-line tools to JSON
> In FreeBSD, this problem was solved with libxo[0]:
Libxo happens to be in the base system, but it is generally available:

Want structure? Ask for JSON or XML and parse. Otherwise it's the regular text output.

Jc – JSONifies the output of many CLI tools
Can you trust it? Cli tool output is not exactly stable. I thought that's why libxo exists?

Curl gets a --json flag
Please consider https://github.com/Juniper/libxo or something even better than that.

You shouldn't parse the output of ls(1)
That would look a lot like FreeBSD. Many of the FreeBSD userland tools are set up to use the excellent libxo (https://github.com/Juniper/libxo) to allow the user's choice of how things are output.
