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.

ArrayBuffer and DataView classes for ruby
One option to solve my problem was to use nio4r's ByteBuffer class, but it felt weird to have to use an I/O gem just for its ByteBuffer class (although I was using the gem already anyway). I mean, it'd probably have worked.

Should You Be Scared of Unix Signals?
When using green threads/fibers/coroutines, an interesting technique to make signal handling safer is to run the signal handler asynchronously on a separate fiber/green thread. That way most of the problems of dealing with signals go away, and there's basically no limitation on what you can do inside the signal handler.
I've successfully used this technique in Polyphony [1], a fiber-based Ruby gem for writing concurrent programs. When a signal occurs, Polyphony creates a special-purpose fiber that runs the signal handling code. The fiber is put at the head of the run queue, and is resumed once the currently executed fiber yields control.

Polyphony 0.99 released. Last release before 1.0!
Polyphony is a gem for building highly-concurrent Ruby programs. It utilizes Ruby fibers to provide a high-performance safe environment for launching any number of concurrent operations. Under the hood, Polyphony employs io_uring to maximize I/O performance (libev is used on platforms other than recent Linux kernels).

About that monkey-patching business...
Is monkey-patching inherently bad? Should its use make Polyphony illegitimate? These are the questions I'm exploring in my latest article.

Embracing Infinite Loops with Ruby and Polyphony
Infinite loops are great for expressing long-running concurrent operations. In this article I’ll discuss the use of infinite loops as a major construct when writing concurrent apps in Ruby using Polyphony. I’ll show how infinite loops differ from normal, finite ones; how they can be used to express long-running tasks in a concurrent environment; and how they can be stopped. Read it now!

What's new in Polyphony and Tipi - August 2021 edition
Polyphony is a library for writing highly concurrent Ruby apps. Polyphony harnesses Ruby fibers and a powerful io_uring-based I/O runtime to provide a solid foundation for building high-performance concurrent Ruby apps.

Sorbet Compiler: An experimental, ahead-of-time compiler for Ruby
> Curious if there’s anything public about improving ruby performance from the I/O angle mentioned in the post.
I'm currently working on Polyphony [0], a Ruby gem for writing highly-concurrent Ruby apps. It uses Ruby fibers under the hood, and does I/O using io_uring (on Linux, there is also a libev-based backend).
