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.

Did Rust ever have breaking syntax changes?
There’s a rust-prehistory repo preserving Rust’s compiler code at very early stage. You can see how Rust looks like at that time.
-
What should be included in a history of the Rust language?
https://github.com/graydon/rust-prehistory is another good resource, particularly the doc/notes directory. All kinds of good stuff in there that looks pretty different than today. I also liked Marijn's talk, The Rust That Could Have Been.
-
Is there somewhere I can view the history of rust before 1.0?
There's also this repository depending how far back you want
-
How to Learn Modern Rust
If, on the other hand, you’re interested in pre-modern Rust, there’s always this repo: https://github.com/graydon/rust-prehistory
-
Array type annotation syntax: String[] -vs- [String]
For some snapshots on the history of the language up to 1.0 check out: https://brson.github.io/archaea/. For some really ancient stuff check out the graydon/rust-prehistory/ repo. Also looking at the oldest commits and issues on the Rust repo can be pretty interesting. It's a great public resource.

Happy 12th Birthday, Rust
As Graydon Hoare notes in the comments on GitHub this wasn't the first repo so the real history goes back even further. He's also shared a "prehistory" repo [1] which is interesting to browse. The first commit [2] in _that_ repo is from 2008 but Graydon mentions starting work back in 2006.
Anyway in a sense this repo represents Rust in the real world rather than in gestation, so seems apt to call it the birthday.

I created my own programming language that compiles into Lua code but uses a more C/Rust like syntax
Early Rust was very different (example). It is almost certain that modern Rust took a lot of cues from Go. And, as above, Go was obviously heavily inspired by C, just like your language. So, all told, where you landed is likely very much what is expected.

How is Rust written with Rust?
The pre-git history was imported as https://github.com/graydon/rust-prehistory

Graydon Hoare: “Rust didn't start ”as a research project at Mozilla in 2010“
Two other links related to ancient Rust:
* https://github.com/graydon/rust-prehistory -> the code from before the rust-lang/rust repo
* https://youtube.com/watch?v=79PSagCD_AY -> a talk I gave around the 1.0 release giving my personal perspective on the history.
Oh heck, one more fun one: https://github.com/brson/archaea

Ravi is a dialect of Lua, with JIT and AOT compilers
it's based off MIR, does it have something to do with https://mlir.llvm.org/ ?
for typed lua, there is another effort https://github.com/teal-language/tl in addition to the mentioned typescript approach: https://github.com/andremm/typedlua

Lua Criticism Is Unwarranted
I had the pleasure of working with Lua 5.1 back in the late noughties. For me it's replaced Tcl whenever I want something I can configure above a C library. At the time I used it I found it quite nice but I'll also not forget the hours I wasted tracking down nil table corruptions which could have easily been caught by a type checker.
I had some hope that Luau https://luau-lang.org or Teal https://github.com/teal-language/tl would make things better but with the following example
function foo(x: number): string
- Why Fennel?
-
Algebraic data types in Lua (Almost) post
I wonder why the author doesn't use Teal [0] - a typed dialect of lua.

What's the deal with Fennel in Neovim?
There is already https://github.com/teal-language/tl, which is typed Lua. I think fennel exists to serve a different niche-- personally I use it not for any type features; I just like the syntax better, and others may find certain features like the macro system useful.

Using other languages
There's also some languages made to compile straight to Lua: - MoonScript is the most popular Lua wrapper - it's built to be more Python-like, featuring indentation-based scopes, function calls without parentheses, lambda syntax, list comprehension, and much more. - Yuescript is a modern update to MoonScript that adds more features (I haven't used it myself, so I'm not entirely sure exactly how it differs from MS). - Teal is a version of Lua that adds static typing for better code standards.

Bog – small, strongly typed, embeddable language
Terra and Nelua are both very different in goals than Teal. Teal is literally gradual types integrated into Lua keeping as many of Lua's idioms as possible (to a fault[1]). Terra and Nelua are both very metaprogrammable systems programming languages. Nelua's goals are primarily to soften C's rough edges, comparable to something like Nim.
There's another one you missed in Pallene[2]. But again, it's goal was to optimize the stack sharing involved in using the C API. It also adds types though and maintains Lua idioms as much as possible.
