The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
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.

Rust Dependencies Scare Me
I love this idea and I hope I get to work on it someday. I think it could be possible in Rust with a linter, something like https://github.com/geiger-rs/cargo-geiger . The Rust compiler has some unsoundness issues such as https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/84366 . Those would need fixing or linter coverage.

Deploying a Scala Play Application to Heroku
I’ve been a web developer for years, but I haven’t touched Java in a long time — like, late-90s long. Back then, Java development felt cumbersome: lots of boilerplate and complex configurations. It was not exactly a pleasant experience for building simple web apps. So when I recently started exploring Scala and the Play Framework, I was curious more than anything. Has the Java developer experience gotten better? Is it actually something I’d want to use today?

TypeScript's Lack of Naming Types and Type Conversion in Angular
Elm, ReScript, F#, Ocaml, Scala… it’s just normal to name your types, then use them places. In fact, you’ll often create the types _before_ the code, even if you’re not really practicing DDD (Domain Driven Design). Yes, you’ll do many after the fact when doing functions, or you start testing things and decide to change your design, and make new types. Either way, it’s just “the norm”. You then do the other norms like “name your function” and “name your variables”. I’m a bit confused why it’s only 2 out of 3 (variables and functions, not types) in this TypeScript Angular project. I’ll have to look at other internal Angular projects and see if it’s common there as well.

Programming in Scala as a "Better" Java
Scala is a programming language for the JVM born in 2004 that is both object oriented and functional. Since it runs in the JVM it can call any Java method and be called by any Java method. So, moving from Java to Scala is practically pain free, all you have to do is learn the new syntax. You have all the Java libraries at your disposal plus all the improvements Scala has to offer. Even though Scala is both OOP and Functional it doesn't force you to use either of the two paradigms and so it can just be used as a simple OOP replacement for Java with great benefits to speed of coding and readability. In this article I will not get into the details but just show you enough to make you curious and try it. If you want to dive deeper here is a link for you: https://www.scala-lang.org

Counted B-Trees
Funnily enough this is (was?) used by the Scala collection library's TreeSet/TreeMap, for fast performance of the `take` and `drop` operations. This is a red-black tree though, not a B-Tree.

Groovy 🎷 Cheat Sheet - 01 Say "Hello" from Groovy
Recently I had to revisit the "JVM languages universe" again. Yes, language(s), plural! Java isn't the only language that uses the JVM. I previously used Scala, which is a JVM language, to use Apache Spark for Data Engineering workloads, but this is for another post 😉.
