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.

Tacit Programming
JavaScript is great for point-free programming! Make sure you check out Ramda.js https://ramdajs.com/
It’s fun in the sense that solving a puzzle is fun, but I avoid it for anything I need to maintain long-term.
But it’s good practice for understanding combinators which is useful for some kinds of problems.

Pipeline-Oriented Programming [video]
This is very cool. I remember I got sucked into things like Ramda going down this functional programming rabbit hole :-)

Level up your Typescript game, functionally - Part 2
To create our pipeline, I'm going to use the pipe function from the NodeJS ramda library instead of building my own.

FP and JavaScript/TypeScript
I recently took ownership of the new types/ramda repo. This repo is re-exported by @types/ramda and is the first step to bringing type definitions for ramda in-house. We're already hard at work correcting major issues, adding full currying support, and general bug fixes

When to use currying in JavaScript
I'm going to be honest. You probably don't need to use currying in JavaScript. In fact, trying to fit it in your code is going to do more harm than good, unless it's just for fun. Currying only becomes useful when you fully embrace functional programming, which, in JavaScript, means using a library like Ramda instead of the standard built-in functions.

No Lodash
Lodash gets so many things wrong I’d rather not see it in most projects. I appreciate a good utility library for JS projects but my go-to choice has to be Ramda[1]. Every function it exports is curried and works great with pipe which enables me to write highly reusable and composable functions in pointfree notation. I have never been as productive with lodash, and I find the functional style easier to read

Snap.js - A competitor to Lodash
Do note though that ramda is different from rambda. 👍 (Granted they are very similar!)

Redis Re-Implemented with SQLite
I'm waiting for someone to implement the Redis API by swapping out the state machine in TigerBeetle (which was built modularly such that the state machine can be swapped out).

The Fastest and Safest Database [video]
I fully agree with what Prime says at the end - Joran has really set a new bar here for all future database presentations.
Hearing that the entire TigerBeetle domain logic lives in a single file [0] (and is intended to be pluggable for other OLTP use cases!) makes it 1000% more tempting to spend the weekend getting up to speed with Zig.

Building a Scalable Accounting Ledger
Why would you want to build your own accounting ledger from scratch? Accounting is a completely new domain for most engineers, and TigerBeetle (https://tigerbeetle.com/) already solves this problem.

The Raft Consensus Algorithm
Maelstrom [1], a workbench for learning distributed systems from the creator of Jepsen, includes a simple (model-checked) implementation of Raft and an excellent tutorial on implementing it.
Raft is a simple algorithm, but as others have noted, the original paper includes many correctness details often brushed over in toy implementations. Furthermore, the fallibility of real-world hardware (handling memory/disk corruption and grey failures), the requirements of real-world systems with tight latency SLAs, and a need for things like flexible quorum/dynamic cluster membership make implementing it for production a long and daunting task. The commit history of etcd and hashicorp/raft, likely the two most battle-tested open source implementations of raft that still surface correctness bugs on the regular tell you all you need to know.
The tigerbeetle team talks in detail about the real-world aspects of distributed systems on imperfect hardware/non-abstracted system models, and why they chose viewstamp replication, which predates Paxos but looks more like Raft.

CWE Top Most Dangerous Software Weaknesses
> There is no reason to use a memory unsafe language anymore, except legacy codebases, and that is also slowly but surely diminishing. I'm still yet to hear this amazingly compelling reason that you just need memory unsafe languages. In terms of cost/benefits analysis, memory unsafety is literally all costs.
Tell that to the authors of new memory unsafe languages (like Zig) and creators of new project in those languages (like https://tigerbeetle.com) :(
