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.

Ask HN: More “experimental“ UIs for editing/writing code?
Not exactly "experimental", considering the Unix heritage, but -- line editors.
"I've seen [visual] editors like that, but I don't feel a need for them. I don't want to see the state of the file when I'm editing." -- Ken Thompson, on the superiority of ed to visual editors. Summarized by Peter Salus in A Quarter Century of UNIX (Addison-Wesley, 1994).
Definitely a blast from the past, but I do think line editors may force one to write simpler programs -- or to think in smaller chunks, as opposed to (doom)scrolling or moving about incrementally on a large screen.
Rob Pike's sam editor has an interesting command language. You're not limited to thinking in "lines" as in ed or sed; rather, the whole file is a giant string that you manipulate using regular expressions, external pipes, etc: http://doc.cat-v.org/bell_labs/sam_lang_tutorial/sam_tut.pdf
Its predecessor, qed, is also interesting, extremely powerful, but it seems to have a much steeper learning curve. I have used sam quite a bit, but not qed. https://github.com/phonologus/QED/raw/master/doc/qed-tutoria...

> I'm not sure anyone's actually using it, but there are some good ideas in there.
I guess it's kind of cheating, but they wrote YouTrack in MPS; they used to cite that in the footer, but I guess it was removed cause it was an implementation detail
I reached out to them to ask "what does that mean, written in MPS?" and they said they had a DSL for issue tracking that essentially generated executable YouTrack builds
Interestingly, Workday has a repo for MPS code reviews, although stale: https://github.com/Workday/mps-code-reviewer#readme
What are some alternatives?
