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.

RubyJS-Vite
It's been a long time dream for me since about 2013 when I started getting deep into Ruby and Rails, to be able to write Ruby code for the frontend instead of JavaScript. I was a lover and adopter of CoffeeScript (which had it's flaws and imperfections), but that mostly got killed by ES6. I wrote some PoCs with Opal[1] that felt pretty good to write, but the overhead was rough (this was many years ago so things might be different now) and I never really felt like I didn't have to know about or care about the underlying javascript. I tend to discard leaky abstractions as I feel they often add more complexity than they were meant to cover in the first place.
Has anybody used this or Opal or anything else? What is the state of "write your frontend in Ruby" nowadays?

Non-code contributions are the secret to open source success
Every time I see a respectable project use a Code of Conduct I remind myself that, unfortunately, Caroline Ada won[1]

Coming to grips with JS: a Rubyist's deep dive
But we shouldn't overstate the difference: the JS and Ruby object models are actually similar in how dynamic both of them are. This makes Ruby-to-JS compilers like Opal easier to implement, according to an Opal maintainer.

GCC Adopts a Code of Conduct
Not the OP, but from what I remember they would seek out every possible opportunity in every single possible open source community they could find and propose the CoC that they wrote. 0 contributions to the projects, with the exception of demanding that people implement incredibly verbose CoC's in their projects under the guise of "protecting the minorities contributing to the projects".
Most infamous instance is probably this one, in the Opal repo: https://github.com/opal/opal/issues/941
As well as this thread in the Ruby issue tracker that devolves into pure chaos with Ada refusing to actually participate in any of the valid points others bring up: https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/12004
And I'm sure there's many other instances if you look around a bit.

Launch HN: Pynecone (YC W23) – Web Apps in Pure Python
So ruby has a JS transpiler - opal - https://opalrb.com/
I tried using it a little bit but the reality is if you need JS to make your app more interactable it's really worth it to just learn some JS. As soon as you need something complex the extra layer of abstraction just gets in the way and becomes more of a headache, and if you don't need anything complex then you don't need JS in the first place.

DebunkThis: Coraline Ada Ehmke hasn't really contributed that much as far as code goes
I stumbled upon this thing from years ago. I did some more digging to see what other communities thought about it. Turns out that a lot of people are really against Coraline's side.

YJIT Is the Most Memory-Efficient Ruby JIT
Not parent poster and do not have production YJIT experience. =)
My guess is that you would monitor `RubyVM::YJIT.runtime_stats[:code_region_size]` and/or `RubyVM::YJIT.runtime_stats[:code_gc_count]` so that you can get a feel for a reasonable value for your application, as well as know whether or not the "code GC" is running frequently.

Undocumented Features of GitHub
Hold option and click on the “collapse file” button in the Files view of a commit or pull request, and it will collapse all the files.
Select text in a comment, issue, or pull request description and press r—the selected text (including markdown formatting) will get pre-populated as a markdown block quote reply in the next comment box.
Add .patch or .diff to any pull request URL if you want to see a plain-text diff of the pull request (e.g. maybe you want to quickly `curl ... | git apply -` an unmerged pull request into a local copy of the repo without trying to add and fetch the git remote that the pull request is from).
There are lots of keyboard shortcuts. For example, / to jump to the file finder.
Not so much a secret but more like a hiding in plain sight: when looking at a commit GitHub will show you the earliest and latest tag (i.e. release) that includes the commit. For example, this commit[1] first appeared in v3_2_0_preview3.

Ruby Outperforms C: Breaking the Catch-22
The title is misleading, just like other commenters mentioned. Just check how much indirection "rb_iv_get()" has to make (at the end, it will call [1], which isn't "a light" call). Now, check generated JIT code (in a blog post) for the same action where JIT knows how to shave off unnecessary indirection.
We are comparing apples and oranges here.

How to Check If a Variable Is Defined with Ruby's Defined? Keyword
I'm not sure why, but all the source values are listed here: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/1cc700907d3ad3368272488a6f...
Maybe someone knowledgeable in the underpinnings of Ruby will explain why "class variable" was not hyphenated.
