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.

Peridot Paper Preprint
I've mostly finished up a preprint of a research paper on Peridot, my programming language! It still needs some work, but I'm happy enough with it to post it. If you have any questions or suggestions don't hesitate to tell me here. I would love feedback :-)

September 2022 monthly "What are you working on?" thread
I'm finishing up with Peridot! The research goals of the project are close to being accomplished, so I'll be wrapping up soon. I'm really satisfied with it as a proof-of-concept for the ideas it implements. The last main bit of the project is a research paper I'm writing which details the language and its applications in detail.

Peridot MVP
Hey all! I've been working on my programming language Peridot for about six months, and it's finally at the point where I can call it an MVP! Peridot is a language in which the compiler backend is implemented in userspace via metaprogramming.

July 2022 monthly "What are you working on?" thread
The Peridot MVP is feature-complete! All that's left to do are bugfixes, after which it will be a real, usable language. Here's the major features, in no particular order:
-
A Typed Foundation for Directional Logic Programming
I'm not aware of any current implementations, but I'll be implementing it in my language, Peridot. Unfortunately that won't be for a few months though.

How did you choose the name for your programming language?
The second was called Konna. AFAIK it’s Finnish for “frog”, but sources seem to disagree? I don’t speak Finnish, I got the word from a Finnish video game. My third and current language is called Peridot. I’m pretty proud of this name, although it’s less searchable than the previous ones. The origin is pretty simple, I was just looking around at gemstones and thought peridot looked neat.

Peridot: A functional language based on two-level type theory
Hey! I'm Peridot's author. Peridot is a language based on two-level type theory which allows for the compiler backend to be written in userspace. The language is really two languages tied together: a logic language, and a dependently typed functional language. The former is built for metaprogramming - high-level optimizers and compilers can be written that translate the latter language into a target language of choice. An in-depth explanation of the language's rationale can be found here.

Uiua: A minimal stack-based, array-based language
Reminds me a bit of Cognate(https://github.com/cognate-lang/cognate/blob/master/INTRODUC...)
Think I would like Uiua more if it require a space between terms. It wouldn’t be quite as tacit but it would be easier to read and more flexible — you could multi-symbol operators.

Two esoteric but maybe useful language ideas
Cognate happens to be a simple & readable polish-notation stack language that compiles to C.

Flow - a little language I've been working on
This reminds me a lot of Cognate.

July 2022 monthly "What are you working on?" thread
Since discovering and being inspired by Cognate, I've begun work on somewhat of a sister language called Adduce, with u/stavro-mueller-beta's blessing. It's honestly been kind of a whirlwind so far - over the course of about a week, I threw together a hacky Javascript interpreter to sketch out my ideas for the language, then rewrote it in Haskell for more permanent development. The language is currently in a mostly working state, though missing a lot of features; the biggest pain points so far have been mostly related to scoping and exception handling, since I'm implementing a dynamically typed, interpreted, mostly-procedural language in a language that is very much neither, and I'd give a tentative guess that just figuring out how to make the latter work at all took over half the development time of the Haskell version so far.
