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.

Creating a custom parser with PEGJS
The PEG.js project got taken over by a new maintainer who locked everyone else out, never shipped a release, and then ignored repeated requests to transfer the project back to the community. So the community forked it to a new project - Peggy, which is where ongoing development happens: https://github.com/peggyjs/peggy

How to make your own programming language in JavaScript
NOTE: The original PEG.js project is not maintained anymore, but there is a new fork, Peggy that is maintained and it's backward compatible with PEG.js so it will be easy to switch.

Show HN: DTL: a language and JavaScript lib to transform and manipulate data
Thanks. Yes, DTL's core textual syntax is described with PEG. I make use of the Peggy (https://peggyjs.org/) PEG processor to build up the AST that is used to actually process DTL.
There are C based PEG processors, which I've looked at once or twice also, but I haven't sat down to try to convert it. Mostly out of a desire to get the existing module to work well. A working module for one language is better than a partially working module for multiple. :P

Parsing in JavaScript: all the tools and libraries you can use
hmm this article is a bit outdated; peg.js (mentioned in the article) has been discountined for a few years now; recently the project was picked up by another team under the name peggy.js https://github.com/peggyjs/peggy

How to create your own Eslint rule with tests, boosting the DX, and code-review
To understand this syntax, I recommend exploring AST Explorer. You will have a better view of how the AST of JavaScript works and how to correlate it with the Eslint syntaxy:
-
Programming from Top to Bottom - Parsing
You can never mistake type_declaration with an identifier, otherwise the program will not work. Aside from that constraint, you are free to name them whatever you like, there is no one standard, and each parser has it own naming conventions, unless you are planning to use something like LLVM. If you are interested, you can see examples of naming in different language parsers in the AST Explorer.

ESLint: under the hood
The rule that I want to write will be called not-allows-underscore: the idea is to abolish the use of underscores when declaring variables or functions. It's a real dummy rule, but it should be enough to see in action the concepts that we have discussed earlier. The first thing that I would do is to go to AST Explorer, write down a code that declares variables and functions (both standard and arrows one) and take a look at what type of node is the one that encodes the identifier. Doing that, I found out that the node type of my interest is Identifier, what a surprise! 🤣. In particular, the structure of the node holds the string used as identifier in the name property.

😱 ESlint over Conventions - You have Not unlocked the power of ESlint 😱
All the information about the API, AST node names, AST Explorer, etc. you can read in the official documentation. I’m just going to show examples of how to automate the check-up of our created conventions.

Building a JSON Parser from scratch with JS 🤯
If you want to see how the AST of popular languages looks, I recommend the AST Explorer. It supports various languages, and you can view the complete AST and navigate through the nodes. If you want to go further, you can try to copy some logic from an existing parser and implement it in your own, such as calculating an expression according to precedence order, for example: 1 + 2 * 3 (which is 7, not 9).
