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.

compile time memory management models
I'm trying to implement compile time memory management in my language siko. My idea is to completely hide it from the user, they can only use immutable values and the compiler is trying to figure out a way to optimize it in the background. The design/implementation is good enough to self host the language and now the compiler is written in siko. This also serves as a giant test suite:)

Nim 2.0.0 RC2
Well, maybe not writing. Occasionally low-level C libraries - especially those that deal with keyboard input - decide to provide identifiers differing only in case... There's a WIP RFC for providing a way to deal with identifiers that need to be verbatium by surrounding them with backticks, though.

My Nim Development Weekly Report (3/12)
Following The Roadmap 2023 for community building , you could join us in the matrix space where we discuss how to build a community. We appreciate doable suggestions and helps, such as improving the workflow, implementing the roadmap, suggesting doable tasks, reviewing code from contributors. United we stand. We shall work together to make the community thrive.

My Nim Development Weekly Report (2/19)
First of all, the Nim development follows The Roadmap 2023, which specifies what features might be implemented or removed in 2023. As we can see, completing incremental compilation and recursive module dependencies might be the most important tasks to be done in 2023. You might subscribe to the roadmap and write down your expectations of Nim in 2023 there.
