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.

Code Search Is Hard
https://github.com/pyjarrett/septum
The hardest part about getting code search right imo is grabbing the right amount of surrounding context, which septum is aimed at solving on a per-file basis.
Another one I'm surprised hasn't been mentioned is stack-graphs (https://github.com/github/stack-graphs), which tries to incrementally resolve symbolic relationships across the whole codebase. It powers github's cross-file precise indexing and conceptually makes a lot of sense, though I've struggled to get the open source version to work

Getting Ada into the mainstream (Dec 1990 edition ^^)
I do a lot of weird and experimental work in Ada. Some of it works, whereas a lot of it doesn't. While I have done this sort of work in Python, Ruby, Rust, C or C++ in the past, when I do it in Ada, I end up saving time later on since the language forces many "good practices."

Septum 0.0.7 released (experimental Mac support)
I'd appreciate any issues or suggestions you want to report on GitHub to help me improve this.

Zig self hosted compiler is now capable of building itself
Ada is another option without a GC. I wrote a search tool for large codebases with it (https://github.com/pyjarrett/septum), and the easy multitasking and pinning to CPUs allows you to easily go wide if the problem you're solving supports it.
There's very little allocation since it supports returning VLAs (like strings) from functions via a secondary stack. Its Alire tool does the toolchain install and provides package management, so trying the language out is super easy. I've done a few bindings to things in C with it, which is ridiculously easy.

April 2022 What Are You Working On?
I mentioned my project Septum in a HackerNews comment, which caused it to pick up over 200 GitHub stars. That seemed to give Ada some publicity since it's a general purpose tool, so I'll also publish a new up-to-date version (0.0.6) here soon.

Ask HN: How do you search large code-base before adding a feature or fixing bug?
I work on code bases with millions of lines, so I wrote a tool called Septum to help me (https://github.com/pyjarrett/septum/). This isn't to replace grep or ripgrep or silver searcher, those are all great tools you should have!
Septum is neighborhood based (context-based) search, so you can find contiguous groups of lines which contain specific things, but exclude other things. It's also interactive so you can add/remove filters as needed. This makes it useful for those cases where terms change based on their context so you can exclude terms related to the contexts you don't want to keep. It reads .septum/config which contains its normal commands to load directories and settings, so you can have different configs per project you're working on.

Ada Crate of the Year: Interactive code search
Here's a short demo video of his Septum tool mentioned in the article: https://asciinema.org/a/459292

What Did You Work On in 2021?
I also did a few things: - Wrote an online e-book about Ada - Septum - context-based source code search for multi-million line codebases (I use this nearly every day at work. It's being submitted as my Ada crate of the year. - dir_iterators - library similar to the incredible walkdir. - project_indicators - library for spinners and progress bars. - trendy_terminal - library for cross-platform terminal setup, VT100 support, and GNU readline-like behavior. - trendy_test - library for simple unit testing, which runs tests in parallel. - Ada Ray Tracer - an Ada port of Ray Tracing in One Weekend. - dirs_to_graphviz - Make graphviz files from directory trees. - rst_tables - a tool to draw RST table outlines.

June 2023 What Are You Working On?
GCC 13.1.0 for aarch64-apple-darwin21, both native and cross-compiling to arm-eabi. Had to make a second release of both, because libgmp.dylib had a very unhelpful runpath setting.
- GCC 13.1.0 releases for Apple silicon
- MacOS GCC 13.1.0 (aarch64)
- Release GCC 13.1.0 (aarch64)
-
May 2023 What Are You Working On?
Libadalang2xml now in Alire. NB, if you’re on macOS, you’ll need one of the packages I’ve been building; alr/macOS can’t build langkit, libadalang.
-
macOS GCC 13.1.0 (x86_64)
Yes: see here.
-
What are does the hobbyist programmer miss comparing the paid versus free Ada ecosystem?
This is why, when considering whether to build & release a nn.2.0 macOS version, I’ll only do so if there’s a good reason: for example, GCC 12.1.0 couldn’t compile C source on macOS Ventura (version 13).
-
December 2022 What Are You Working On?
Over at Github, I’ve released GCC 12.2.0 for macOS: x86_64 for Intel Macs, aarch64 for Apple silicon. I have an arm-eabi build too, must get round to releasing it.
-
[ANN] XNAdaLib 2022 and GNATStudio 23.0wb for macOS Monterey.
XNAdaLib is a large set of ready to use Ada libraries prebuilt with GNAT FSF 12.1 for macOS.

Ada on apple silicon
For the next few years you’ll be able to run x86_64 binaries on Apple silicon. I produced an aarch64 package based on GCC 12.1.0, see here, but (a) GCC 12.1 won’t compile C code on Ventura, (b) if you want an ecosystem try Alire whose default toolset includes a GCC 12.2-based compiler, albeit x86_64!
What are some alternatives?
liburing-ada - liburing/io_uring bindings for Ada
Ada_GUI - An Ada-oriented GUI
ews - The Embedded Web Server is designed for use in embedded systems with limited resources (eg, no disk). It supports both static (converted from a standard web tree, including graphics and Java class files) and dynamic pages. It is written in GCC Ada.
gcc-darwin-arm64 - GCC master branch for Darwin with experimental support for Arm64. Currently GCC-15.0.0 [April 2024]
hound - Lightning fast code searching made easy
alire - Command-line tool from the Alire project and supporting library
ACATS - The Ada Conformity Assessment Test Suite, customised for GCC.
