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.

Given how powerful Emacs is and how important it has been for my computing over the past four decades, I think it would be more useful to me for people to label all non-emacs articles [Not Emacs]
you might want to check remacs, a rewrite of emacs in Rust.

What would you rewrite in Rust?
Emacs. There's Remacs… well, there was Remacs. It seems the project has fizzled out.

How do the neovim plugins for OrgMode and Magit compare with the real thing?
Yeah most likely they won't mature at all. Many of the emacs-ng folks were doing an incremental Rust rewrite called Remacs before abandoning that. It's great to see these people having fun, but I wouldn't bet on them to be around in the long term.

Emacs as a universal front-end interface
There are alternative Emacs-like editors implemented in better languages like Common Lisp like Climacs which seem to be no longer maintained, there have been attempts at rewriting Emacs in Guile Scheme like Guile Emacs which have fizzled out, there are more recent attempts at implementing Emacs in Rust which isn't even a Lisp. I am really hoping Guile Emacs or Climacs see a resurrection, that or some other Lisp-based Emacs clone comes along that manages to supplant GNU Emacs. If more people would put efforts into projects like these, Emacs as a platform would be so much better than something like Electron.

Bun - The One Tool for All Your JavaScript/Typescript Project's Needs?
NodeJS is by no means a slow runtime, it wouldn’t be so popular if it was. But compared to Bun, it’s slow. Bun was built from the ground up with speed in mind, using both JavascriptCore and Zig. The Bun team spent an enormous amount of time and energy trying to make Bun fast, including lots of profiling, benchmarking, and optimizations.

Bun 1.1
ntdll.dll!RtlUserThreadStart()
There are valid reasons to use APIs from NTDLL. Where I disagree with zig#1840 is the idea that it is always better to use NTDLL versions of API. Every other software ecosystem uses the standard Win32 APIs and diverging from that without a good reason seems like a good way to have unexpected behavior. One concrete example is most users and programmers expect Windows to redirect some file system paths when running on WOW64. But this is implemented in Kernel32, not ntdll.
