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.

Memory management in garbage collected languages
Qore has prompt collection - so deterministic GC, so the language can support destructors as well as automatic memory management.
-
Java and CPython compatibility bridge
This is all accomplished using a third language called Qore that provides the functionality of a "language bridge" and also manages the references to data in each separate runtime. Because Qore has a deterministic garbage collector, strong references to Python and Java data are managed in Qore and released when there are no more valid references to the data (in Qore - therefore various tricks are used to manage references transparently including sing thread-local data; there is also the possibility of using custom reference handlers to maintain the validity of objects using different language runtimes and garbage collection implementations). A high level description of the approach is here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QfzoXKoqgm6s1wTTykB0VdnIo4j5p0oK/view?usp=sharing

Cpp2 and cppfront – An experimental 'C++ syntax 2' and its first compiler
The roadmap for Carbon [0] mentions wanting to have basic, non-trivial programs written in Carbon by the end of 2024. They're aiming for a v0.1 release in 2025. If it gains traction, they're aiming for a v1.0 beyond 2027.
I don't think anyone outside Google will seriously adopt this before it reaches v1.0. Even within Google, they may choose other options.

Odin Programming Language
Carbon was started by Chandler Carruth, at Google, but they wanted to move it to broader governance quickly. It's not under the Google GitHub today, but its own org.

C++ Should Be C++
What do you think about Carbon[1]? I am hopeful.

next year 0.1 will be usable, 1.0 is about 3 years away, sigh, back to my rust fight
