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.

Announcing Scale: A WebAssembly runtime for running Rust functions in any other language
If you'd like a more apples-to-apples comparison you can run the benchmarks here: https://github.com/loopholelabs/scale-benchmarks/blob/master/regex/main_test.go

Announcing Scale: A WebAssembly runtime for running Go functions in any other language
Our example is Rust regex vs Go regex: using Rust regex inside of a Scale Function significantly outperformed using Go's regex natively. If you're interested, you can check out the benchmarks we wrote here.

Faces.js, a JavaScript library for generating vector-based cartoon faces
Extism can be really useful for packaging up and running cross-language libraries!
The most clear information about it is at: https://extism.org, but its a bit focused on the primary use case for Extism, being a universal plugin system.
There is a C PDK (https://github.com/extism/c-pdk) which you'd probably want to use in a new wrapper around your library in C++, and compile it to wasm32 freestanding or WASI, but without emscripten. Extism doesn't currently have an interop layer to emscripten.

Show HN: Now my pet programming language can run in the browser
It may just be my own unique obsession to peek at the internals of .wasm, but if anyone else is curious:

u/nbittich - curious if you've tried to use your language as as a scripting language inside other apps? I took a peak at your browser wasm environment, and think we could hook up the `compute` entrypoint you have here[0], but I'm not certain what the `ctx` does without going super deep, and if it could be passed into an Extism function[1] (which is how I'd try to run it from within 16+ other languages).

WebAssembly Playground
Yep, this is one of the initial motivations for creating Extism: https://github.com/extism/extism -- and it works across 16 host languages & 8 guest languages.

WASI 0.2.0 and Why It Matters
On the devx, there's definitely some rough edges around building and using Wasm. My company has been working on a framework to ease integrating Wasm into existing applications. One area it focuses on is providing easy data passing between the host program and the Wasm and vice versa. https://github.com/extism/extism We do not have WASI preview 2 support yet, but are interested in integrating it.
- Extism, the universal WASM framework, reaches 1.0
- Extism, the WebAssembly framework, hits 1.0
- Extism 1.0.0 Released

WASM by Example
Extism handles this really well across 16 or so different languages - and you don’t need to write a whole IDL / schema.
https://github.com/extism/extism
It’s a general purpose framework for building with WebAssembly and sharing code across languages is a great way to put it to work.
