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.

Ask HN: What are some unpopular technologies you wish people knew more about?
I was using Nim for some of last years Advent of Code problems. I was mostly liking the syntax. Was a bit bother by the standard library have a snake case and camel case reference for each function (if I'm remember that correctly).
At the time nimble also required me to have NPM to install the the Nim package manager, Nimble. This was not ideal, but looking at [the nimble project install docs](https://github.com/nim-lang/nimble#installation) it seems like it is now package with the language.
Might try dusting it off for some AoC puzzles this year :)

Question about nimble
I meant it's unfortunate that Nimble has no standard system-wide library management. It's one of the mains thing holding Nim back from being more prevalent in the Linux sphere in my opinion.

Alternative privacy-respecting front ends for popular services
`nimble` is the package manager for the programming language `nim` [1].
From [2], we can see that `nimble scss` simply generates the CSS files for the frontend.
The benefit of OSS is you can answer these questions yourself with a bit of poking around! IMO this is a fairly standard installation process, maybe the fact that it's using Nim instead of a more mainstream language makes it look more daunting than it is. The only out-of-the-ordinary thing here, IMO, is `nimble build` instead of `make build`.

Nim 1.6.2
Something I'm excited about: v1.6.2 integrates support for (not yet released) Nimble[1] v0.14, which introduces lockfiles. I've had terrible experiences with lockfiles in JS land, but they are sorely needed for Nim projects as (fingers crossed) they'll allow for reproducible builds without having to resort to the nimbus-build-system[2]. The latter isn't completely horrible — a lot of much appreciated hard work has gone into it, and it's been a real workhorse — but some days it feels like a big ball and chain.

What are some anti features in a language?
So you wouldn't have a problem with a package manager where the configuration is in the same language, such as Nimble?

What best IDE/editor for NIM now.
if you structure your project with nimble (which can be be used for both libraries and applications) you can use nimble build and nimble run. While I do use nimble for managing dependencies for projects I don't use these commands that often while developing, e.g. because I'm working on a single test or something like that.

Using Ruby
Having similar syntax to Ruby makes it easier to port Ruby code to Crystal (ex: digest-crc -> digest-crc.cr). The Crystal stdlib is very complete and they have a growing "shards" ecosystem, roughly the same age as Rust's https://crates.io or Nim's nimble. You should look into Crystal again.

Nim Version 1.6 Released
Well no language is perfect, but Nim can be used in almost every domain because of it's compilation targets(C, C++, JS) and it's fast compile times(who needs interpretation when compile times are that fast!):
* Shell scripting, I still assume most people will just use Bash tho: https://github.com/Vindaar/shell
* Frontend: https://github.com/karaxnim/karax or you could bind to an existing JS library.
* Backend: For something Flask-like: https://github.com/dom96/jester or something with more defaults https://github.com/planety/prologue
* Scientific computing: the wonderful SciNim https://github.com/SciNim
* Blockchain: Status has some of the biggest Nim codebases currently in production https://github.com/status-im?q=&type=&language=nim&sort=
* Gamedev: Also used in production: https://github.com/pragmagic/godot-nim and due to easy C and C++ interop, you get access to a lot of gamedev libraries!
* Embedded: this is a domain I know very little about but for example https://github.com/elcritch/nesper or https://github.com/PMunch/badger for fun Nim+embedded stuff!
Most of the disadvantages come from tooling and lack of $$$ support.

One Nim web framework to rule over all styles
Prologue is a great web framework in the Nim world. However, Prologue framework tries to avoid using macros. It is intended to reduce magic and reduce surprise. Macros could save you from redundant codebases. At the mean time, it could bring surprise. This article talks about how to extend the routing style outside Prologue without invading inside the web framework.
