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.

Pratt Parsers: Expression Parsing Made Easy
Ha, nice to see this on HN: this article was pretty helpful to me to understand the concept a few years back when extending my PEG parsing library [1] with a Pratt parser; this mitigates the problem of PEG parsers not allowing left recursion and allows for a much more concise notation of grammars with operator precedence. Thank you Bob:

Nim v2.0 Released
Congratulations to everyone involved and the entire Nim community!
Nim has been my language of choice for the past decade and I'm really happy with the new features in Nim 2.0. Some of them are real gamechangers for my projects. For example, default values for objects theoretically allow me to make Norm[1] work with object types along with object instances. And the new overloadable enums is something Karkas [2] wouldn't be possible at all (it's still WIP though).

Nim Version 1.6 Released
In the ORM field, Norm[1] is an actively maintained package that supports SQLite and Postgres. It's framework agnostic, I've used it with Jester and Prologue (it had nothing to do with Prolog btw).
Among frameworks, Prologue is the most actively developed and feature rich.
