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.

Should You Be Scared of Unix Signals?
When using green threads/fibers/coroutines, an interesting technique to make signal handling safer is to run the signal handler asynchronously on a separate fiber/green thread. That way most of the problems of dealing with signals go away, and there's basically no limitation on what you can do inside the signal handler.
I've successfully used this technique in Polyphony [1], a fiber-based Ruby gem for writing concurrent programs. When a signal occurs, Polyphony creates a special-purpose fiber that runs the signal handling code. The fiber is put at the head of the run queue, and is resumed once the currently executed fiber yields control.

Polyphony 1.4 Released
Read the release notes here: https://github.com/orgs/digital-fabric/discussions/110 The Polyphony docs: https://www.rubydoc.info/gems/polyphony The Polyphony repository: https://github.com/digital-fabric/polyphony
- Polyphony: Fine-Grained Concurrency for Ruby
-
Polyphony 0.99 released. Last release before 1.0!
Polyphony is a gem for building highly-concurrent Ruby programs. It utilizes Ruby fibers to provide a high-performance safe environment for launching any number of concurrent operations. Under the hood, Polyphony employs io_uring to maximize I/O performance (libev is used on platforms other than recent Linux kernels).

About that monkey-patching business...
Is monkey-patching inherently bad? Should its use make Polyphony illegitimate? These are the questions I'm exploring in my latest article.

Embracing Infinite Loops with Ruby and Polyphony
Infinite loops are great for expressing long-running concurrent operations. In this article Iโll discuss the use of infinite loops as a major construct when writing concurrent apps in Ruby using Polyphony. Iโll show how infinite loops differ from normal, finite ones; how they can be used to express long-running tasks in a concurrent environment; and how they can be stopped. Read it now!

What's new in Polyphony and Tipi - August 2021 edition
Polyphony is a library for writing highly concurrent Ruby apps. Polyphony harnesses Ruby fibers and a powerful io_uring-based I/O runtime to provide a solid foundation for building high-performance concurrent Ruby apps.

Sorbet Compiler: An experimental, ahead-of-time compiler for Ruby
> Curious if thereโs anything public about improving ruby performance from the I/O angle mentioned in the post.
I'm currently working on Polyphony [0], a Ruby gem for writing highly-concurrent Ruby apps. It uses Ruby fibers under the hood, and does I/O using io_uring (on Linux, there is also a libev-based backend).

Bebop v3: a fast, modern replacement to Protocol Buffers
This is awesome. I'd love to have upstream support in Wasmer ( https://wasmer.io )

Unlocking the Power of WebAssembly
WebAssembly is extremely portable. WebAssembly runs on: all major web browsers, V8 runtimes like Node.js, and independent Wasm runtimes like Wasmtime, Lucet, and Wasmer.

Show HN: dockerc โ Docker image to static executable "compiler"
Unfortunately cosmopolitan wouldn't work for dockerc. Cosmopolitan works as long as you only use it but container runtimes require additional features. Also containers contain arbitrary executables so not sure how that would work either...
As for WASM, this is already possible using container2wasm[0] and wasmer[1]'s ability to generate static binaries.

Howto: WASM runtimes in Docker / Colima
I could not find any guide how to add WASM container capability to Docker running on Colima. This guide provides a few Colima templates for exactly this, which adds WasmEdge, Wasmtime and Wasmer runtime types.

Show HN: Mutable.ai โ Turn your codebase into a Wiki
Just suggested as well Wasmer on Twitter! https://github.com/wasmerio/wasmer
Looking forward to seeing the results :)

Prettier $20k Bounty was Claimed
The Biome team has been incredibly fast on solving the challenge and achieving 95% compatibility with Prettier [1]
Just as a note, as it was not mentioned in the article, Wasmer [2] also participated with a $2,500 bounty to compile Biome to WASIX [3], and it has been awesome to see how their team has been working to achieve this as well... hopefully we'll get Biome running in Wasmer soon!
Keep up the great work!!

The Curse of Docker
It's funny how WebAssembly can help overcome most of the issues mentioned on the blogpost (packaging, configuration, portability) if addressed properly.
That's the main reason Wasmer [1] was created :)
