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.

Six programming languages I’d like to see
The interesting semantic relationships are those that let the machine automatically deduce optimizations
> I also like the idea of modifying function definitions at runtime. I have these visions/nightmares of programs that take other programs as input and then let me run experiments on how the program behaves under certain changes to the source code. I want to write metaprograms dammit
Lotta metaprogramming in Joy. Many functions work by building new functions and running them, it's a natural idiom in Joy.

> A language designed around having first-class GUI support
Red? ( https://www.red-lang.org/ )
> Visual Interface Dialect ... is a dialect of Red, providing the simplest possible way to specify graphic components with their properties, layouts and even event handlers. VID code is compiled at runtime to a tree of faces suitable for displaying.
https://github.com/red/docs/blob/master/en/gui.adoc
> You can’t work with strings, json, sets, or hash maps very well, date manipulation is terrible, you can barely do combinatorics problems, etc etc etc. I want a language that’s terse for everything.
That also sounds like Red.

Beads: The next generation computer language and toolchain
> They are well funded.
Rebol Technologies went bankrupt, and Rebol is de-facto dead since more than a decade; Red barely manages to get by thanks to a recent crypto spike.
> I would say the languages are very different in the sense that Beads is clearly aimed at graphical interactive software.
So is Red with it's native GUI engine. [1]
> They are so different that it is hard to compare.
Both share the same goal of replacing modern software practices with biased, batteries-included toolchain, varying only in implementation.
> Red being a concatenative language has more in common with FORTH than Algol.
Red is not concatenative in any sense of the word, nor any other language in Rebol family that I know of.

One Way to Represent Things
> What if a simpler programming language had first-class representations of a lot more than strings and arrays?
Red lang?
> Where most languages have 6-8 base datatypes, Red has almost 50.

How to Use JSON Path
The Raku programming language has, with some tweaks:
data.store.book.grep(.price < 10).map(.title)
Although personally I would write that as:
data.store.book.map: { .title if .price < 10 }
which combines the filter / map into a single operation.

Pakku Through Images
Pakku is a package manager for the Raku Programming Language. Latest releases of Pakku are part of Pakku Celastrina version family. Celastrina name means elegant and beutiful, So I will take the opportunity to introduce how elegant IMO Pakku handles Raku distributions.

Winding down
At the last European Perl Conference I proposed to change the name of "Perl 6". After a lot of discussion, it was decided that it was going to be called the Raku Programming Language.

UTF-8 (de)composition
Raku note: This language has no length method on strings, because in Unicode world it is super confusing. Instead there are separate methods to ask precisely about amount of characters, amount of code points and amount of bytes.
