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.

Some Pain Point of Linux From a Long-time Windows User
Regarding toolchain managers, those developing software with Rust would use rustup, OCaml developers would use opam, Haskell GHCup, and Python with pyenv. Likwise, Rust already uses cargo for package management, Python can use pip and venv, cabal for Haskell, and opam still for OCaml.

Does anyone have an ETA on opam 2.2? I'm trying to pitch OCaml for a project that should be starting in roughly a year, but the lack of support for opam on windows is making it a really tough sell.
The project has a planning board for 2.2 on https://github.com/ocaml/opam/projects/2 and there are many active PRs on the repo. I wouldn’t hazard an accurate ETA but it is being actively worked on right now.

We feel it is too "me-too", and not Ada-specific enough [...] It doesn't, to us, feel like a truly Ada-native solution. Tangentially, the use of the word "crates" for the unit of management does little to evoke the kind of principled self-confidence Ada normally exudes.

Can't install graphics library on NixOs
Maybe you'll find this issue helpful (though I didn't): https://github.com/ocaml/opam/issues/3773

Frustrated by lacking cross platform support (hoping to be wrong)
That being said, the experience on Windows could definitely be better. The bright side is that the community is aware of this and is making progress on improving it. If you're curious, you can take a look at some of the Windows-related plans for opam 2.2 (pdf).

Dune: build library and access it in another project and hide or make inaccessible private or implementation modules
With Dune, given the executable main, you would write the following dune file to use library mylib if it was published on Opam.

How to install OCaml in WSL?
This is caused by bubblewrap requiring specific permissions when running in Docker containers. Disabling sandbox does make you install OCaml, but there is a risk of installation scripts of packages wiping home directory https://github.com/ocaml/opam/issues/3231

Gokrazy – Go Appliances
Interesting, and thanks.
I didn't know about those. I kind of thought you may have used MirageOS, which I had read about earlier. It is done in OCaml.

What's Zig got that C, Rust and Go don't have? [video]
Unix system programming in OCaml (2014)
https://ocaml.github.io/ocamlunix/
"MirageOS is a library operating system that constructs unikernels for secure, high-performance network applications across a variety of cloud computing and mobile platforms."

PostgreSQL reconsiders its process-based model
That was/is part of the promise of the whole unikernel thing, no?
https://mirage.io/ or similar could then let you boot your database. That said, it's not really taken off from what I can tell, so I'm guessing there's more to it than that.

Is there an operating systems that is a runtime of a programming language?
MirageOS is a runtime for OCaml to create unikernels. They describe themselves as "library operating system". Probably not quite what you were asking for, but I think it's quite interesting for certain use cases (e.g. running services as standalone unikernels in VMs or embedded devices instead of "traditional" programs on top of a general purpose OS).
