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.

CommonJS Is Hurting JavaScript
> You write this as if that mattered... Should he only works on stuff that gets more download?
It was a statement of fact. You appear to be drawing conclusions that were never hinted at nor implied. It's tiresome.
> It's normal to be sad to have lost someone that was working on something you needed, but anything else is just entitlement.
How and why are you applying entitlement and emotion to a documented statement of fact? Do you need to see links such as [1] to view that as fact? It's one of a myriad. Take your asinine analysis and commentary elsewhere, please.

Today’s JavaScript, from an outsider’s perspective (2020)
ESM is the biggest waste of time in the JS ecosystem. People are trying to move thing to ESM before it's even in a stable enough state. Mixing ESM and commonjs is a PITA. I've been a JS-only dev since 2013, and I've had enough of ESM ideologues.
See https://github.com/sindresorhus/meta/discussions/15 for just ONE example of this mess.
I don't know why it's become this ideological war where people are 'testing the waters' on production-used libraries. It's not the approach I would have taken.
- It's a community splitting decision, like Python 3 vs 2.7, which has been an on-going battle for over a decade, I wouldn't be surprised to see the same happen here unless changes are made.

My collection of helpful Utility Types :D
Also here's some reading for you by people that are saying the same thing I am: - The dude that wrote half of npm: https://github.com/sindresorhus/meta/discussions/7 - The guy who wrote "JavaScript the Good Parts": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSGEjv3Tqo0&feature=youtu.be&t=9m21s

Bun - The One Tool for All Your JavaScript/Typescript Project's Needs?
NodeJS is the dominant Javascript server runtime environment for Javascript and Typescript (sort of) projects. But over the years, we have seen several attempts to build alternative runtime environments such as Deno and Bun, today’s subject, among others.
-
Bun 1.1
https://github.com/denoland/deno/issues is the ideal place -- we try to triage all incoming issues, the more specific the repro the easier it is to address but we will take a look at everything that comes in.

I have created a small anti-depression script
Install Node.js (or Bun, or Deno, or whatever JS runtime you prefer) if it's not there

How QUIC is displacing TCP for speed
QUIC is very exciting, after seeing what it can do for performance in Cloudflare network and Cloudflare workers, I can't wait to finally see it in Deno[0] 1.41.

Unison Cloud
So as an end user it's kind of like https://deno.com/ where you buy into a runtime + comes prepacked with DBs (k/v stores), scheduling, and deploy stuff?
> by storing Unison code in a database, keyed by the hash of that code, we gain a perfect incremental compilation cache which is shared among all developers of a project. This is an absolutely WILD feature, but it's fantastic and hard to go back once you've experienced it. I am basically never waiting around for my code to compile - once code has been parsed and typechecked once, by anyone, it's not touched again until it's changed.
Interesting. Whats it like upgrading and managing dependencies in that code? I'd assume it gets more complex when it's not just the Union system but 3rd party plugins (stuff interacting with the OS or other libs).

Deno in 2023
~90MB+ at this stage and do now allow compression without erroring out. Deploying ala Golang is not feasible at that level but could well be down the line if this dev branch is picked up again!
The exe output grew from from ~50MB to plus ~90MB from 2021 to 2024: https://github.com/denoland/deno/discussions/9811 which mean Deno is worse than Node.js's pkg solution by a decent margin.

Mini site for recommending songs using Svelte & Deno
Behind the scenes is a simple Sveltekit-powered server function to fetch a Spotify client token then find a user's recommendation playlist and its track information. A Deno edge function to performs this data fetch and renders server-side Svelte.

Supercharge your app with user extensions using Deno JavaScript runtime
If your application is written in JavaScript, integrating it with JavaScript extensions is a no-brainer. However, Secutils.dev is entirely written in Rust. How would I even begin? Fortunately, I recently came across an excellent blog post series explaining how to implement your JavaScript runtime in a Rust application with Deno:
- Deno, the next-generation JavaScript runtime
- Oxlint – written in Rust – 50-100 Times Faster than ESLint
What are some alternatives?
