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.

Faster Shell Startup with Shell Switching
David Korn's ksh93 was passed on to a new set of developers, who attempted to release a new version; AT&T rolled back these changes due to performance problems which raised questions of support status. It does appear that ksh93 development has resumed, and a new version was released late last year.
https://github.com/ksh93/ksh/releases
The independent pdksh spawned mksh, which is the default shell used in Android (as it has a BSD license); mksh appears to be very much active.
http://www.mirbsd.org/mksh.htm [https site has cert problems]
OpenBSD also forked oksh from pdksh. This is certainly well-maintained.

CVE-2022-45063: Xterm
I don't know if this is helpful or just annoying unsolicited "advice"
Anyway, for those of us who like openbsd ksh(all two of us) which is derived from pdksh. there is the project oksh.

What is a good alternative to Zsh?
I like oksh: https://github.com/ibara/oksh

OpenBSD 7.0 Released
...and that ksh descended from pdksh, and is distributed as the oksh portable project here:
https://github.com/ibara/oksh
The MirBSD Korn Shell also descended from pdksh, and it can be found here:
http://www.mirbsd.org/mksh.htm
I don't know about the feature differences and code quality between these two; they both implement most of ksh88, and a small amount of ksh93.
I prefer mksh when I need something more than a POSIX shell.

Which ksh is used in openbsd?
Brian Callahan publishes a portable version here: https://github.com/ibara/oksh

What goes into porting a program/library?
Porting from OpenBSD, look for the portable versions and their compat layer. https://github.com/ibara/oksh/blob/master/portable.h

Using Landlock to Sandbox GNU Make
"If you want to do what "scrappy Google" did these days, then you should use Python + Ninja."
Or, better yet, use a simpler, faster and more portable^1 Ninja written in C.

1. The "simpler, faster, and more portable", are the author's claims, not mine. I am not the author.

Moving SciPy to the Meson Build System
Why is Python not portable, as in, on which systems is "build Python and then use that to run Meson" not a reasonable option?
The CI for boson seems like it runs on platforms where Python definitely is available, but also I notice the CI uses samurai, a reimplementation of ninja with a similar motivation: https://github.com/michaelforney/samurai
Ninja is in C++ so I am even more confused at Sanurai.
Is this just an implementation-diversity thing? (which is great!)

xorg sucks, use swc
This means ninja is popular both on embedded for its tiny footprint (samurai is about 3k sloc and portable), and for humongous projects like Chrome, because it is infinitely scalable in complexity due to its genaration method.
