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.

Install Asdf: One Runtime Manager to Rule All Dev Environments
Sounds like nix using devenv[1] also would solve this problem.
https://devenv.sh/

Show HN: Is_ready – Wait for many services to become available – 0 Dependencies
It works on MacOS/Windows, unlike systemd. Therefore it's well suited for development environment setups for polyglot teams.
https://devenv.sh/ is one example that uses it to do just that.

Fast, Declarative, Reproduble and Composable Developer Environments Using Nix
I gave devenv multiple tries, and I am sorry to say there are multiple annoying issues that forced me to give up every time.
Some of these 200+ issues are unsolved for a fairly long time.

Nix – A One Pager
Software developers often want to customize:
1. their home environments: for packages (some reach for brew on MacOS) and configurations (dotfiles, and some reach for stow).
2. their development shells: for build dependencies (compilers, SDKs, libraries), tools (LSP, linters, formatters, debuggers), and services (runtime, database). Some reach for devcontainers here.
3. or even their operating systems: for development, for CI, for deployment, or for personal use.
Nix provision all of the above in the same language, with Nixpkgs, NixOS, home-manager, and devShells such as https://devenv.sh/. What's more, Nix is (https://nixos.org/):
- reproducible: what works on your dev machine also works in CI in prod,
- declarative: you version control and review your configurations and infrastructure as code, at a reasonable level of abstraction,
- reliable: all changes are atomic with easy roll back.

Show HN: Lapdev, a new open-source remote dev environment management software
https://devenv.sh/ and nix in general are great for setting up dev environments.
-
Show HN: Flox 1.0 – Open-source dev env as code with Nix
> but worried that the development is not moving forward
There is an open v1.0 PR: https://github.com/cachix/devenv/pull/1005

What's the Next Vagrant?
2) A way to run services apps depend on (databases, job runners, cache etc).
I am going to suggest one of the Nix based tools that do those things:
- https://devenv.sh/ (I use this at work) -
Ask HN: How can I make local dev with containers hurt less?
Yup, I haven’t tried it but there is https://devenv.sh which is built on top of nix and makes it simple.

Flakes aren't real and cannot hurt you: using Nix flakes the non-flake way
Although Guix reads better than Nix (after all, it's Lisp), I found the support and resources available for learning severely lacking.
Plus, you have to jump through hoops to install non-free software, which goes against the ethos of Guix anyway.
IMHO, Nix is clearly "the winner" here and we'll see more and more adoption as it improves. Lots of folks are doing exciting work (see https://determinate.systems/, https://devenv.sh/, https://flakehub.com/). And the scale and organization around nixpkgs is damn impressive.
