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.

Gerbil Scheme – A Lisp for the 21st Century
I agree! That’s actually not a jeer, it’s one of my main criticisms of lisp. You don’t need lists to have lisp. In many respects it works better without them; https://github.com/sctb/lumen proves it, since hash tables and arrays are the fundamental data structure. They have to be, because that’s the only way lumen can run in JS or Lua.
Every time I can’t delete the first element of a list in lisp (I.e. del x[0] in the python sense) I get annoyed with racket.
The reason I look past it is because the benefits are so good that they outweigh the annoyances. I wouldn’t trade it away.

Show HN: Dak – a Lisp like language that transpiles to JavaScript
Where h is the raw function for hyperapp, not a macro.
I'd intended to develop my own mini-lisp with the same syntax, but got sidetracked by other projects. Maybe someday I'll get back to it. (Currently, I'm deep in the weeds trying to learn how to write a dependent typed language that compiles to javascript.)

“There Is No List”
It wasn’t my idea, too. It was Scott Bell’s. I’m not sure if he thought of it or got it from somewhere else, but it’s shockingly effective.
If you want to try it out for yourself, give Lumen a spin: https://github.com/sctb/lumen

The project with a single 11,000-line code file
> What do you develop with Arc usually?
I try to use Arc for as much as possible. We wrote our TPU monitoring software in it: http://tensorfork.com/tpus
Eventually I became frustrated with Racket's FFI. So I eventually made my own arclike language called elflang: https://github.com/elflang/elf
... which itself is a fork of Lumen (https://github.com/sctb/lumen) by Scott Bell.
The performance is good enough to run a minecraft-style game engine: https://i.imgur.com/iyr0YrB.png which was satisfying.
Nowadays I've been trying to implement Bel, mostly for the challenge of it than for any practical reason.
> I like how the "html" and "css" part was embedded in that "news.arc" file. Do you think that VIM script will highlight and lint the "css" part of an "arc" file?
Nope. https://i.imgur.com/o9aUG6j.png
But it has one very important feature: it can properly highlight atstrings: https://i.imgur.com/wO4f742.png
It's probably hard to tell, but the "@(hexrep border-color*)" would normally be highlighted as if it were a string. Arc has a feature called atstrings, where you can use @foo to reference the enclosing variable "foo". It can also call functions, e.g. "The value of 1 plus 2 is @(+ 1 2)" will become "The value of 1 plus 2 is 3".

The most misunderstood aspect of Python
Not mine! That was all Scott Bell. It's forked from Lumen: https://github.com/sctb/lumen
But, I did make an interactive tutorial here: https://docs.ycombinator.lol/
If you have any questions about it, I'd be happy to answer. This stuff is pure fun mixed with a shot of professionalism.
For what it's worth, as someone with narcolepsy, I relate quite a lot to your chronic pain. (https://twitter.com/theshawwn/status/1392213804684038150) For me, it mostly translated into wandering aimlessly from job to job, since I thought no one would have me. I hope that you find your way -- there's nothing wrong at all with taking it slow and spending years on something that takes others a few months. Everyone is different, and it's all about the fun.

Julia and the Incarceration of Lisp
You could go the opposite route, and run Lisp in your favorite language. Here's a Lisp in JavaScript and Lua: https://github.com/sctb/lumen
Integration is easy because there's no integration. You can just call whatever functions you'd normally call.

Just Wanted to Say Thanks
Not at all. I've been thanking Scott for making lumen every thanksgiving for several years now. https://github.com/sctb/lumen
I just close the issue immediately after opening it. :)

PEP 744 – JIT Compilation
> It provides a meaningful performance improvement for at least one popular platform (realistically, on the order of 5%).
At first it will not provide a large boost, but it will set the foundations for larger gains in subsequent releases. They link a list of some proposed improvements already underway, with improvement estimates, at https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/115802

Featured Mod of the Month: Phil Ashby
After that, with the basics of software engineering understood, I would move on to a wider use language, with a bigger ecosystem to employ, most likely Python. This would expose me to large system design / distributed systems and architectural challenges...

Backdoor in upstream xz/liblzma leading to SSH server compromise
Python for Windows bundles liblzma from this project, but it appears to be version 5.2.5 [0] vendored into the Python project's repo on 2022-04-18 [1], so that should be fine, right?
