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.

Zig cookbook: collection of simple Zig programs that demonstrate good practices
Zig currently doesn't allow chained designators and also doesn't allow to partially initialize arrays and fill up the rest of the array with default values.
E.g. the closest Zig equivalent to this C99 code:
https://github.com/floooh/sokol-samples/blob/b3bc55c4411fa03...
...is this:
https://github.com/floooh/sokol-zig/blob/a4b3c287fadd153a504...
...note how part of the initialization had to be moved out into "code".
There's a ticket about this here, but it's currently not high-priority:

Building a Web Game in C with Raylib
This is a simple Pong-like I've written in Raylib compiled to WASM - https://wasm-stuff.netlify.app/pong
Source code is here: https://github.com/rrampage/skitter/tree/master/pong-raylib
It is fairly straightforward to get Raylib running in the browser. I used @flohofwoe's HTML shell file ( https://github.com/floooh/sokol-samples/blob/master/webpage/... ).

Learn WebGPU
PS: also if shader functions could be directly defined "inline" in regular CPU code (and behind a special function pointer type), there would be no need for string literal shenanigans like this:
https://github.com/floooh/sokol-samples/blob/3f10c1a0620cec9...
(and shader compilation would happen during the regular build and would also generate regular compiler errors - with current toolchains that's only possible with a lot of build system magic)

Next C compiler is a D compiler: Introducing DMD's ImportC
I think something along those lines (rarely used...) was also given by the C++ Committee as justification why so much of the C99 designated init feature set was left out of C++20. But in reality, all C99 designated-init 'sub-features' complement each other nicely once you start using them. It's a great way for building 'data-driven' APIs.
For instance check out this call to create a 3D-API pipeline-state-object in C99:

Learning that you can use unions in C for grouping things into namespaces
I'm using anonymous nested structs extensively for grouping struct items, but I consider the extra field name a feature, not something that should be hidden:
https://github.com/floooh/sokol-samples/blob/bfb30ea00b5948f...
(also note the 'inplace initialization' which follows the state struct definition using C99's designated initialization)

Nuklear: A cross-platform GUI library in C
It's an STB-style single-file library, which means the implementation is in a separate ifdef-block from the interface declarations, this allows to compile the implemenentation in a separate source file (which can be a C file), and be used in different source files (which can be C++ files).
For example (using stb_image.h):

Making Win32 APIs More Accessible to More Languages
C99 has made all that a lot easier, you can setup, initialize a struct and call the function taking a pointer to that struct all in one call:
https://github.com/floooh/sokol-samples/blob/89f5825ab5d3690...
The Win32 window system functions and D3D11 are actually very convenient to work with in C99, better than C++ actually.

Congrats! I don't want to diminish the accomplishment, but have you seen femtovg? It seems like it's probably well-aligned with your needs.

Bevy vector graphics library?
I'm currently using femtovg for vector graphics in my games, and I would like to get into bevy by porting one of my game prototypes using it to bevy.

Keeping POWER relevant in the open source world
https://github.com/femtovg/femtovg/pull/5
Before Power10 was done, IBM actually asked us Raptor users about proposals for useful machine code instructions to add to it. I replied that I’d like to have hardware UTF-8 de-/encoding but they wanted a more detailed proposal and I never got around to write it. I’m not even sure that this would be worthwhile, but I see UTF-8 de-/encoding everywhere in the code I write and would like it to approach memory read/write speeds.
I was very disappointed to learn that they had gone more proprietary with Power10 so I would not have been able to use those instructions anyway. What a pity!

How to use a Rust WebAssembly module in Svelte with Web Workers
In my actual code, I'm using a library called femtovg that is a Rust port of a C library for 2D rendering. But In the blog post I kept the example simple to keep it relevant for people who might want to use Web Workers + WASM for other things; didn't want to get hung up on femtovg for someone who had never heard of it. As you say, if you all you need to do is basic 2D manipulations of a canvas that are supported by the native API, then you likely don't need WASM.

Iced: A cross-platform GUI library for Rust, inspired by Elm
You guys should also check out the femtovg project, a 2D rendering API that sixty fps relies on.
https://github.com/femtovg/femtovg
It's a decent starting point for trying to build your own toolkit.
I have recently added a wgpu backend but for now it lives in my fork https://github.com/adamnemecek/femtovg
run the demo with `cargo run --example wgpu_demo --release`.

Good GUI toolkit/library recommendations needed
It's not a GUI framework but I'm involved with this project called femtovg, it's a Rust nanovg port. I've recently added a wgpu backend. Run the demo with cargo run --example wgpu_demo --release. Some people have been using it for their own UIs, e.g. tuix. I think that you should consider rolling your own GUI toolkit, it's not that bad and you'll appreciate the control.
