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.

Bloomberg invests in Node.js – Shouldn't you?
Bloomberg are currently sponsoring Igalia to work on adding native Decimal number support to JavaScript.
https://github.com/tc39/proposal-decimal
This is an active proposal and was last discussed in the September 2023 meeting.
- Rant - Javascript should be able to do simple f**king math by now

Wasmer takes WebAssembly libraries mainstream with WAI
would it be possible, for example, to access the standard decimal library of C# or Python via Javascript, thus not having to wait for the TC39 spec / implementation? [1]

Speeding up the JavaScript ecosystem - one library at a time
There's a BigDecimal TC39 proposal to bring this kind of thing to the native language, but until then you have to choose between accuracy and performance.

Best way to deal with excessive decimal results in calculator
To solve the problem while JavaScript waits on its own BigDecimal API, you can use something like bignumber.js to perform your calculations.

How can i prove that 0.1 + 0.2 = 0.3 is there like a function or ANYTHING i can do to bypass this error which occurs in most programming languages
TC39 is now advancing Built-in decimal datatype in JavaScript.

Integer Math in JavaScript
given the popularity of javascript, it's about time we had better native tools for dealing with numbers in general, but it seems like the discussion is very slow on this front. for instance, the decimal proposal is still at stage 1 [1]. and no, BigInt does not solve that.

Funky problem with the math in my calculator?
In the future, JavaScript will hopefully get base 10 arithmetic: https://github.com/tc39/proposal-decimal

Although it would be good to move in the direction of using a BigDecimal equivalent by default when ingesting unknown data.

Working with Numpy floats and Forex financial instruments
There's no such thing as precision for floats. Floating-point calculations are always inaccurate: read this: https://0.30000000000000004.com/

how do i make the decimals not fucked up
Edit: This specific example even has its own website: https://0.30000000000000004.com/

Decoding Why 0.6 + 0.3 = 0.8999999999999999 in JS and How to Solve?
In everyday math, we know adding 0.6 + 0.3 equals 0.9, right? But when we turn to computers it results in 0.8999999999999999. Surprisingly, this doesn’t just happen only in JavaScript; it’s the same in many programming languages like Python, Java, C too. Also, it’s not just about this specific calculation. There are many more decimal calculations showing similar not-quite-right answers.

64-Bit Bank Balances ‘Ought to Be Enough for Anybody’?
Surprisingly common values like 0.1 don't have a precise representation in binary for most formats, including standard floating point number formats. See https://0.30000000000000004.com/ for more detail than you can shake a stick at.
Also if the local tax code states using 5 decimal places for intermediate values when you will introduce “errors” using formats that give greater precision as well as those that give less precision. Having work on mortgage and pension calculations I can state that the (very) small errors seen at individual steps because of this can balloon significantly through repeated calculations.
Furthmore, the name floating point gives away the other issue. Floating point numbers are accurate to a given number of significant figures not decimal places. For large numbers any decimal places you have in the result are at best an estimate, and as above any rounding errors at each stage can compound into a much larger error by the end of a calculation.
