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.

Trip Summer ISO C++ standards meeting (Varna, Bulgaria)
> that it cannot all be found.
Do you think you can find all public Rust code?
Like, if I'm teaching a Rust course, and put a hello-world.rs program on my department's public GitLab instance, under an MIT license, do you think I should also put that on GitHub? And register it as a crate?
If I'm 12 years old, how should I publish my source code when GitHub's terms of service don't allow that?
> the lack of any central resource that can be consulted.
And you say that like it's a good thing.
You want everything to be centralized on GitHub? If so, you want to force all research software developers to agree to the GitHub's terms, including those who are ardent free software advocates. You also prevent 12 years olds from publishing their Rust source code.
Or, do you also allow BitBucket [1], and GitLab [2]?
[1] https://bitbucket.org/project_samar/samar_lite/src/master/ contains two Rust programs, neither on crates.io
[2] https://gitlab.com/rouault-team-public/analysis/umaprs
What about department instances of GitLab? [3]

It really doesn't seem like it's all that easy to find all publicly available Rust code.

Qt and C++ Trivial Relocation (Part 1)
It is slowly making its way through the standards committee. https://github.com/cplusplus/papers/issues/43
The author has a fork of clang and gcc with some pretty impressive speedups, so I’m hopeful! https://lists.isocpp.org/sg14/2024/04/1127.php

Learn Modern C++
What's fun is, because everything is decided in papers, we can find out why! https://github.com/cplusplus/papers/issues/884
Accepted paper here: https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2022/p20...
> The proposed std::print function improves usability, avoids allocating a temporary std::string object and calling operator<< which performs formatted I/O on text that is already formatted. The number of function calls is reduced to one which, together with std::vformat-like type erasure, results in much smaller binary code (see § 13 Binary code).
Additionally,
> Another problem is formatting of Unicode text:
> std::cout << "Привет, κόσμος!";
> If the source and execution encoding is UTF-8 this will produce the expected output on most GNU/Linux and macOS systems. Unfortunately on Windows it is almost guaranteed to produce mojibake despite the fact that the system is fully capable of printing Unicode

C++ Papercuts
Bringing editions to C++ failed, and I am not aware of anyone trying to tackle the issues https://github.com/cplusplus/papers/issues/631
(I could be wrong though! I follow the committee more than you may guess, but not as much as to think I know everything about what's going on.)

Argonne National Lab is attempting to replicate LK-99
GitHub would not be relevant in this respect because:
* It's owned by a (single) commercial corporation, Microsoft.
* There is censorship both by content and in some respects by country of origin.
* The code is closed.
but otherwise it's an interesting idea.
The C++ standardization committee uses GitHub to track papers submitted to them, see:

C++23: The Next C++ Standard
There was no non-approval. The facility needs more work, and the authors (and the committee) were focusing on getting print/format done first. I hope that the paper will be worked on again in the future. We will be happy to review it once there is a revision (see github for history)
