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.

Dargent: A Silver Bullet for Data Layout Refinement [pdf]
Found while on my hunt for POPL23 preprints. I wonder how much it relates to the unboxed types project for OCaml.
-
Why are imperative programs considered faster than their functional counterparts?
A middle ground between uniform representation and specializing for every type is specializing for every data layout. See the unboxed types RFC for OCaml.

PR to Merge Multicore OCaml
For both 2 and 3 you may find https://github.com/ocaml/RFCs/blob/unboxed-types/rfcs/unboxe... very interesting. I'm hoping that progresses beyond the RFC stage.

OCaml: a Rust developer's first impressions
For 5.0+ you might want to look at https://github.com/ocaml-multicore/eio for how effects can make async much more pleasant

How Much Memory Do You Need to Run 1 Million Concurrent Tasks?
Great post! I would love to see this extended to OCaml 5 (with eio) and Haskell

OCaml 5.0.0: multicore support and effect handlers for OCaml
Second, effects enable a new style of concurrency libraries like eio that forgoes the need to wrap every asynchronous computation in a monad.

What’s so great about functional programming anyway?
> This is realllly unidiomatic in real world Haskell.
Whether idiomatic or not does not matter. It proves my point:
IO won't save you, and even very mundane effects are not part of the game…
Idris is the "better Haskell" sure, but the effect tracking is still part of the uncanny valley (still IO monad based).
Koka is a toy, and Frank mostly "only a paper" (even there is some code out there).
The "Frank concept" is to some degree implemented in the Unison language, though:
https://www.unison-lang.org/learn/fundamentals/abilities/
Having a notion of co-effects (or however you please to call them) is imho actually much more important than talking about effects (as effects are in fact neither values nor types—something that all the IO kludges get wrong).
I think the first practicable approach in the mainstream about this topic will be what gets researched and developed for Scala. The main take away is that you need to look at things form the co-effects side first and foremost!
In case anybody is interested in what happens in Scala land in this regard:
https://www.slideshare.net/slideshow/embed_code/key/aLE9M37d...
https://docs.scala-lang.org/scala3/reference/experimental/cc...
But also the development in OCaml seems interesting:

Look mom, "effects", but without the monad headache!

Practical OCaml, Multicore Edition
To enable access to all these features, an exciting new library called Eio is being developed. It uses a new paradigm of direct-style concurrent I/O programming, without the need for monads or async/await, thus avoiding the function colour problem.
