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.

Dada, an Experiement by the Creators of Rust
That sort of stuff is easy to do with Truffle (which, ironically, lets you define a language using what they call the "truffle dsl").
The SimpleLanguage tutorial language has a bigint style number scheme with efficient optimization:

Apple releases Pkl – onfiguration as code language
Truffle has no opinion on how you parse the sources. It cares about how you execute them from an intermediate Truffle guided representation produced by the parser.
In other words antlr and truffle are a great fit. We even use this pairing for our example language simplelanguage.

GraalVM 22.1: Developer experience improvements, Apple Silicon builds, and more
Do you have any feedback on how we could improve the docs? If so, please let us know!
I believe the easiest way to start a new Truffle language implementation is to fork SimpleLanguage [1] and turn it into your language. Did you try to do that?

Where would you recommend starting if I want to make my own programming language?
Finally, I would suggest you to take a look at the Truffle/GraalVM ecosystem(https://www.graalvm.org/graalvm-as-a-platform/language-implementation-framework/). The documentation is not exactly very elaborate, but a few good resources are Mumbler(http://cesquivias.github.io/blog/2014/10/13/writing-a-language-in-truffle-part-1-a-simple-slow-interpreter/#mumbler-language), SimpleLanguage(https://github.com/graalvm/simplelanguage), and (https://www.endoflineblog.com/graal-truffle-tutorial-part-4-parsing-and-the-trufflelanguage-class).

Show HN: I wrote a WebAssembly Interpreter and Toolkit in C
> I developed a unique way to write interpreters based on threaded code jumps and basic block versioning when I made MiniVM (https://github.com/FastVM/minivm). It was both larger and more dynamic than WebAssembly.
I'd be very interested to read more about this. It looks like you are using "one big function" with computed goto (https://github.com/FastVM/Web49/blob/main/src/interp/interp....). My experience working on this problem led me to the same conclusion as Mike Pall, which is that compilers do not do well with this pattern (particularly when it comes to register allocation): http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2011-02/msg00742.html
I'm curious how you worked around the problem of poor register allocation in the compiler. I've come to the conclusion that tail calls are the best solution to this problem: https://blog.reverberate.org/2021/04/21/musttail-efficient-i...

Ask HN: Recommendation for general purpose JIT compiler
Maybe take a look at MiniVM[0]? It was on HN a couple months ago[1].
