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.

Making Games in Go for Absolute Beginners
Nice! Ebiten is a super nice API for Go. Lots there to be inspired by in API design. Another API I like a lot is Love for Lua (which also actually can be used from C++).
Re: the comments on here about the GC etc. -- I've posted about this a couple times before but I've been using a custom Go -> C++ compiler for hobby gamedev, which helps with perf, gives access to C/C++ APIs (I've been using Raylib and physics engines etc.) and also especially has good perf in WebAssembly. Another nice thing is you can add in some reflection / metaprogramming stuff for eg. serializing structs or inspector UI for game entity properties. I was briefly experimenting with generating GLSL from Go code too so you can write shaders in Go and pass data to them with shared structs etc.

Cppfront, Herb Sutter's proposal for a new C++ syntax
I've been using my own little Go (subset / my own extensions) -> C++ compiler -- https://github.com/nikki93/gx -- and found it to be a fun way to add some guardrails and nicer syntax over C++ usage. You get Go's package system and the syntax analyzers / syntax highlighters etc. just work.

Build Pong in Your Terminal with Go for Some Reason
Re: perf for hobby gamedev, I basically agree for native builds, but lately I've felt like Wasm support seems key for hobby gamedev (so you can have more people play your game / without downloading it / it works directly on mobile too without dealing with app or play store). And Go perf in Wasm unfortunately is not so good (I was hitting big GC pauses when trying to make a game with Ebiten and large images).
I ended up writing a Go -> C++ compiler. The games I've done with it don't use the GC at all but also don't manually manage memory -- they use an ECS api which helps. https://github.com/nikki93/gx -- the README links to development workflow video and complete example game code.

GoGCTuner brought CPU utilisation down ~50%
I've written my own Go (subset + extensions) -> C++ transpiler and using it on a game project: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8He97Sl9iy0 -- No GC, it does have slices and has access to an entity/component API and with that I think you're basically set and don't need GC for games.
Example transpiler input / output: https://github.com/nikki93/gx/blob/master/example/main.gx.go... becomes https://gist.github.com/nikki93/97ff376abb6718427387bb9cca2f...

I wrote a simple Go->C++ compiler for gameplay programming (gives module system, simple definition-checked generics, static reflection). Here's a demo from my game project. Generated C++ visible at end of video. Compiler source is ~1500 lines, link in description. Will do a public release soon!
Hey thanks! The source code for the compiler itself is here: https://github.com/nikki93/gx along with a test / example under the 'example/' directory. This is the C++ output when compiling 'example/': https://gist.github.com/nikki93/b650c551ccb67490d8607980a582c468

Fivefold Slower Compared to Go? Optimizing Rust's Protobuf Decoding Performance
That would be true if you used `Vec::clear` too, it doesn't allocate a new vector. My point was that you still end up running Drop implementations with RepeatedField, just not all at once. See https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&editio...

Borrow Checking Without Lifetimes
Self-referential structs work fine in Rust and always have.
https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&editio...
The compiler will correctly prevent you from moving the value.
The other way to have a struct that starts out as non-self-referential and then becomes self-referential can be achieved with `unsafe` and `Pin::new_unchecked`, which is how `async {}` is handled.

On the other hand, both this wrapper and yours are counterproductive if the element size is dynamic (e.g. perhaps you're dealing with some nonsense like:)

New Linux glibc flaw lets attackers get root on major distros
Overflow checks turn into two's compliments' wrapping, but that's only considered acceptable because bounds checks are not turned off.

Atomics and Concurrency
I have no idea what you're talking about, but it sounds unnecessarily complicated and why I don't use Rust for any serious work.
This demonstrates the ABA problem in safe Rust: https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&editio...
Substitute the sleep with a combination of doing computation/work and the OS thread scheduler, and you can see how the bug surfaces.

My reference was dropped, why is the compiler complaining about multiple borrow
Rust isn't a fully functional language, but the functional features play well with the lifetime system and are optimized well.
