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.

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.

Moving printf formats forward
This became one of the first things that needed to be done, to be able to say the new implementation would be matching the old. During the development of these tests, it became clear there were some inconsistencies in the existing implementation, and worse: outright bugs.

What's a good way to represent overloaded functions at a low level?
Now, as to how that's done at the low level, and whether the way it's done is a good way to do it, well, I can't help. Suffice to say, the main place to look for how this is handled at the low-level is MoarVM. I dug around for a couple minutes and have a link to a commit from nearly a decade ago. Does that help?

Language intrinsics and custom array layout
For a class the default representation is P6Opaque. This is one of a few dozen stock representations that Raku requires compiler backends implement as standard. See, for example, the 46 .c/.h pairs of C89 source files in the relevant MoarVM directory. A quick glance at the names of the source code files should paint a broad picture. A look at their code will fill in some details.
- Directly run compiled bytecode file?
-
How do you know if an allocator is good?
I'm hoping someone who knows C89 can take a quick gander at the C89 code implementing 47 representations in here and comment on it.

Any languages doing anything interesting with allocators?
This is (yet another) very un(der)documented Raku feature (over a decade after it was introduced!), but one can browse what looks to me like reasonably clean and commented C89 code implementing 47 representations in the relevant MoarVM directory.
