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.

I think Zig is hard but worth it
There's a not-very-active proposal to add operator overloading to JS which takes a similar scoped approach:
https://github.com/tc39/proposal-operator-overloading
-
Applying common operators (like +, *, -, /, etc.) to objects/arrays/lists?
There's a proposal to add operator overloading to the language, but AFAIK it never landed.
-
Immutability: what a monster...
An example of it would be the operator overloading proposal https://github.com/tc39/proposal-operator-overloading that would allow overriding === and it would also solve in one shot many other problems (like numeric types extension, pipeable operator, and all the ones listed in the proposal).
-
Is there a way to access native operations via class methods?
Kind of but not really. There is the concept of operator overloading that would let you specify how to handler uses of operators like - and + with your class instances, but this is not yet officially supported in JavaScript. There is an operator overloading proposal to maybe add it in the future (and if you're using QuickJS that has support built in), but right now there's not a whole lot you can do.

Extending Built-ins with ES6 Classes
Though this is not possible now since operators always work on primitive values, there is a proposal for operator overloading that could potentially allow us to use operators on objects in the future. It's still very early, so its not something you can use today (or anytime soon, if ever at all). In the meantime, you'll need to use method calls to perform these kinds of operations.

[AskJS] Why does our community hate Operator Overloading?
I'm not sure who hates it, but I have seen it abused (which people don't like). But, quickjs has it now, and there's a proposal to have it added to the JS spec. The proposal is only stage 1, so who knows what will happen with it or when, but its not counted out.

ES2022 feature: class static initialization blocks
https://github.com/tc39/proposal-operator-overloading
There are still a couple issues that have to be solved. m2c: I hope that won't get to stage 3, though I like operator overloading in general, I think it's something that will complicate JS even more.

"14 Years of Go" by Rob Pike
I think the right answer to your question would be NimLang[0]. In reality, if you're seeking to use this in any enterprise context, you'd most likely want to select the subset of C++ that makes sense for you or just use C#.

Ask HN: Interest in a Rust-Inspired Language Compiling to JavaScript?
I don't think it's a rust-inspired language, but since it has strong typing and compiles to javascript, did you give a look at nim [0] ?
For what it takes, I find the language very expressive without the verbosity in rust that reminds me java. And it is also very flexible.

Nim
FYI, on the front page, https://nim-lang.org, in large type you have this:
> Nim is a statically typed compiled systems programming language. It combines successful concepts from mature languages like Python, Ada and Modula.

Things I've learned about building CLI tools in Python
You better off with using a compiled language.
If you interested in a language that's compiled, fast, but as easy and pleasant as Python - I'd recommend you take a look at [Nim](https://nim-lang.org).
And to prove what Nim's capable of - here's a cool repo with 100+ cli apps someone wrote in Nim: [c-blake/bu](https://github.com/c-blake/bu)

Mojo is now available on Mac
Chapel has at least several full-time developers at Cray/HPE and (I think) the US national labs, and has had some for almost two decades. That's much more than $100k.
Chapel is also just one of many other projects broadly interested in developing new programming languages for "high performance" programming. Out of that large field, Chapel is not especially related to the specific ideas or design goals of Mojo. Much more related are things like Codon (https://exaloop.io), and the metaprogramming models in Terra (https://terralang.org), Nim (https://nim-lang.org), and Zig (https://ziglang.org).
But Chapel is great! It has a lot of good ideas, especially for distributed-memory programming, which is its historical focus. It is more related to Legion (https://legion.stanford.edu, https://regent-lang.org), parallel & distributed Fortran, ZPL, etc.
