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.

How Replit used legal threats to kill an intern's open-source project
It took 2 years of work to get something working and in 2011 we launched on HN (2011 web archive snapshot here https://web.archive.org/web/20111007050930/http://repl.it/ and HN launch here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3056490). It was the first of its kind and it inspired a lot of projects and still does today. It was totally open-source (https://github.com/replit-archive/repl.it) and after the launch it was used as infrastructure by Codecademy (which later employed me) and Udacity and many others to deliver interactive coding in the browser. I was thrilled about that.

Replit used legal threats to kill my open-source project
That was a clone of Replit that we made work at Codecademy. I started working on Replit (or repl.it) back when I was a student in Jordan. I didn't have a laptop so every time I wanted to get some programming done I had to setup a development environment at the university or at work. The idea for Replit was when you needed a repl to do some coding you should easily get one from anywhere including a mobile device. I thought it would benefit many people, especially those who don't have the means to buy expensive computers.

Now, a lot of people implicitly assume that in a dispute between for-profit company and an open-source project, the for-profit company must be in the wrong. But there is some line that it's unethical to cross in copying a former employer's product (if you don't believe that, you can stop reading now, because no argument will convince you) and I think to someone who knew Replit's architecture well, this project would clearly

Transpiler, a Meaningless Word
> Another problem is that there are hundreds of built-in library functions that need to be compiled from Python from C
An approach I've advocated as one of the main authors of py2many is that all of the python builtin functions be written in a subset of python[1] and then compiled into native code. This has the benefit of avoiding GIL, problems with C-API among other things.
Do checkout the examples here[2] which work out of the box for many of the 8-9 supported backends.

Why I'm still using Python
https://github.com/py2many/py2many/blob/main/doc/langspec.md
Reimplement a large enough, commonly used subset of python stdlib using this dialect and we may be in the business of writing cross platform apps (perhaps start with android and Ubuntu/Gnome)

Codon: A high-performance Python compiler
For py2many, there is an informal specification here:
https://github.com/py2many/py2many/blob/main/doc/langspec.md
Would be great if all the authors of "python-like" languages get together and come up with a couple of specs.
I say a couple, because there are ones that support the python runtime (such as cython) and the ones which don't (like py2many).

Omyyyy/pycom: A Python compiler, down to native code, using C++
Cython doesn't consume python3 type hints and needs special type hints of its own. But it's certainly more mature than other players in the field.
What we need is a rpython suitable for app programming and a stdlib written in that dialect.

Implicit Overflow Considered Harmful (and how to fix it)
Link to the test that's relevant for this discussion:
https://github.com/adsharma/py2many/blob/main/tests/cases/in...
This is an explicit deviation from python's bigint, which doesn't map very well to systemsey languages. The next logical step is to build on this to have dependent and refinement types.
Work in progress here:
