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.

Is there a programming language that will blow my mind?
I don't think that there is a book written about Pony, but the tutorial and the list of patterns (WIP) are all you need to learn the language.

Not well known programming languages with interesting features?
[Pony](https://tutorial.ponylang.io/): actors, reference capabilities, object capabilities.

Today, Thanks to this sub Reddit. I discovered 3 awesome new languages....
Pony is a relatively young but interesting language with capabilities-security.
-
Does such a language already exist ("Rust--")?
Well, depends on how you define ownership. Pony 's type system has reference capabilities which let you define who's allowed to do what to a reference and part of it sort of deals with ownership (along the lines of "this actor is allowed to do Y to the reference, other actors are allowed to do Z"). You can eg. have methods that return an isolated value that guarantees that there are no other references to that value, meaning it's automatically thread safe. You can also define things as vals which says that they are globally immutable, refs which give the current actor read/write capabilities but can't be shared with other actors

Flix β Next-generation reliable, concise, functional-first programming language
The alternatives are:
- Division must be impure (because it can throw an exception)
- Division must be partial - i.e. return Option[Int].
Both seem worse compared to defining division by zero as zero. Coq, Lean, and Pony do the same. https://github.com/ponylang/pony-tutorial/blob/master/conten...

If you're looking for stuff pushing the boundaries of PL research, Agda (especially Cubical Agda) might be cool to look at. It's got lots of cutting edge stuff in it, pushing the boundaries of what is currently possible with dependent type theory. It's not the only language out there with cubical features (see also: cooltt), but it's probably one of the more fleshed-out implementations in terms of being practically useful. The 1Lab makes heavy use of it. There's also Introduction to Univalent Foundations of Mathematics with Agda that might be interesting to look at too!
What are some alternatives?

sixten - Functional programming with fewer indirections
felix - The Felix Programming Language
xvm - Ecstasy and XVM
zz - πΊπ ZetZ a zymbolic verifier and tranzpiler to bare metal C
cubicaltt - Experimental implementation of Cubical Type Theory
io - Io programming language. Inspired by Self, Smalltalk and LISP.
