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.

Using Rest Client for Seeding Database
The Met has a really robust API of their collection - over 470,000 distinct objects! Talk about a lot of data! I needed to figure out how to get at least a sampling of this data into my backend API. I found just what I was looking for in RestClient. In theory it is super easy to use and I will give a few quick steps below. I say in theory because I think it depends on how well set up the API is that you are pulling your data from. If you are wondering, the Met's was really easy sometimes and really hard others - some of the art objects were missing attributes that I wanted to pull so I had hand hold my seed file during some of the departments. For brevity sake, I will use one of the easier bit of data to pull - the Met's list of departments. (seeding the art objects themselves was another story all together!)

Microsoft Graph API implementation in Rails app
I am considering to use the rest-client gem, because many of my call need nested data. But I actually don't think they support the structure Microsoft are using for their "rest" api.

Ruby 3.3's YJIT: Faster While Using Less Memory
Obviously as an interpreted language, it's never going to be as fast as something like C, Rust, or Go. Traditionally the ruby maintainers have not designed or optimized for pure speed, but that is changing, and the language is definitely faster these days compared to a decade ago.
If you like the ruby syntax/language but want the speed of a compiled language, it's also worth checking out Crystal[^1]. It's mostly ruby-like in syntax, style, and developer ergonomics.[^2] Although it's an entirely different language. Also a tiny community.

What languages are useful for contribution to the GNOME project.
Crystal is a nice language that's not only simple to read and write but performs very well too. And the documentation is amazing as well.

Jets: The Ruby Serverless Framework
Ruby is a super fun scripting language. I much prefer it to python when I need something with a little more "ooomph" than bash. It's just...nice...to write in. Ruby performance has come a long way in the last decade as well. There's libraries for pretty much everything.
My modern programming toolkit is basically golang + ruby + bash and I am never left wanting.
I do find Crystal (https://crystal-lang.org/) really interesting and am hoping it has its own "ruby on rails" moment that helps the language reach a tipping point in popularity. All the beauty of ruby with all of the speed of Go (and then some, it often compares favorably to languages like rust in benchmarks).
What are some alternatives?
Faraday - Simple, but flexible HTTP client library, with support for multiple backends.
zig - General-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal, and reusable software.
Http Client - 'httpclient' gives something like the functionality of libwww-perl (LWP) in Ruby.
Nim - Nim is a statically typed compiled systems programming language. It combines successful concepts from mature languages like Python, Ada and Modula. Its design focuses on efficiency, expressiveness, and elegance (in that order of priority).
httparty - :tada: Makes http fun again!
go - The Go programming language
Typhoeus - Typhoeus wraps libcurl in order to make fast and reliable requests.
Elixir - Elixir is a dynamic, functional language for building scalable and maintainable applications
excon - Usable, fast, simple HTTP 1.1 for Ruby
mint-lang - :leaves: A refreshing programming language for the front-end web
Unirest - Unirest in Ruby: Simplified, lightweight HTTP client library.
Odin - Odin Programming Language
