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.

Prettier $20k Bounty was Claimed
The roadmap I linked above. The WASI folks have done a poor job at communicating, no doubt, but I'm surprised someone like yourself literally building a competitor spec isn't following what they are doing closely.
Just for you I did some googling: see here[0] for the current status of WASI threads overall, or here[1] and here[2] for what they are up to with WASI in general. In this PR[3] you can see they enabled threads (atomic instructions and shared memory, not thread creation) by default in wasmtime. And in this[4] repository you can see they are actively developing the thread creation API and have it as their #1 priority.
If folks want to use WASIX as a quick and dirty hack to compile existing programs, then by all means, have at it! I can see that being a technical win. Just know that your WASIX program isn't going to run natively in wasmtime (arguably the best WASM runtime today), nor will it run in browsers, because they're not going to expose WASIX - they're going to go with the standards instead. so far you're the only person I've met that thinks exposing POSIX fork() to WASM is a good idea, seemingly because it just lets you build existing apps 'without modification'.
Comical you accuse me of being polarizing, while pushing for your world with two competing WASI standards, two competing thread creation APIs, and a split WASM ecosystem overall.

WASI Support in Go
The answer is: it's complicated. Which is most of the time the answer in the WASI world.
For this case it's complicated because some runtime supports https://github.com/WebAssembly/threads which mostly contains things like the spec for atomic but not the actual "threads" specs and then some runtimes (i.e wasmtime) also supports https://github.com/WebAssembly/wasi-threads which is one version of the threads. But a new proposal came into play https://github.com/abrown/thread-spawn so ... it's complicated.

Bebop v3: a fast, modern replacement to Protocol Buffers
This is awesome. I'd love to have upstream support in Wasmer ( https://wasmer.io )

Unlocking the Power of WebAssembly
WebAssembly is extremely portable. WebAssembly runs on: all major web browsers, V8 runtimes like Node.js, and independent Wasm runtimes like Wasmtime, Lucet, and Wasmer.

Show HN: dockerc – Docker image to static executable "compiler"
Unfortunately cosmopolitan wouldn't work for dockerc. Cosmopolitan works as long as you only use it but container runtimes require additional features. Also containers contain arbitrary executables so not sure how that would work either...
As for WASM, this is already possible using container2wasm[0] and wasmer[1]'s ability to generate static binaries.

Howto: WASM runtimes in Docker / Colima
I could not find any guide how to add WASM container capability to Docker running on Colima. This guide provides a few Colima templates for exactly this, which adds WasmEdge, Wasmtime and Wasmer runtime types.

Show HN: Mutable.ai – Turn your codebase into a Wiki
Just suggested as well Wasmer on Twitter! https://github.com/wasmerio/wasmer
Looking forward to seeing the results :)

Prettier $20k Bounty was Claimed
The Biome team has been incredibly fast on solving the challenge and achieving 95% compatibility with Prettier [1]
Just as a note, as it was not mentioned in the article, Wasmer [2] also participated with a $2,500 bounty to compile Biome to WASIX [3], and it has been awesome to see how their team has been working to achieve this as well... hopefully we'll get Biome running in Wasmer soon!
Keep up the great work!!

The Curse of Docker
It's funny how WebAssembly can help overcome most of the issues mentioned on the blogpost (packaging, configuration, portability) if addressed properly.
That's the main reason Wasmer [1] was created :)

Thanks for the mention to Wasmer.
