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.

Using MVVM in Flutter (2022)
This is a simple Service Locator for Dart and Flutter projects with some additional goodies highly inspired by Splat. It can be used instead of InheritedWidget or Provider to access objects e.g. from your UI.

Detailed thoughts on the State of the .NET Foundation · Discussion #60 · dotnet-foundation/Home
I read through the PR discussion in question as part of reading Rob Mensching's post before I came across this discussion, and thought that she'd overstepped. However, after watching Tim Corey go through the same discussion, I realise that not only did she overstep, she appeared to actively (and publicly) fight with the current maintainer. Her actions appear (to me) to be completely arrogant, selfish, uncaring, and frankly dangerous to the project.

Microsoft locks .NET hot reload capabilities behind Visual Studio 2022
Head of .NET Foundation creates and merges a PR for a change they made to a project where they hadn't been active for several years. When confronted by current maintainers, their response was at the very least, hostile and poorly thought out.

How the .NET Foundation kerfuffle became a brouhaha
Many projects joined the .NET Foundation after it was created. It didn't really do anything, but it wasn't harming anyone either.
The .NET Foundation asked for owner access on a repository (for their CLA bot). The author declined and a workaround was organized.
Years later the .NET Foundation asked for owner access on a repository (to allow them enforce Code of Conduct across all repositories. The author declined.
The CLA bot stopped working. The author was told it would work if he gave it owner access. The author was annoyed because they previously had a workaround. They gave in and gave @dnfadmin owner access.
The author woke up and realized that the project had now been silently moved to GitHub Enterprise. The author states that projects in GitHub Enterprise can be entirely controlled by the owner of the account (the .NET Foundation). This transfer happened silently.
Independently, this happened to another project (who had coincidentally had an issue with a Microsoft employee and former contributor force a pull-request into their project: https://github.com/reactiveui/splat/pull/778).
People are upset because of how tone-deaf all of this is. They would like the .NET Foundation to stop trying to gain complete control over the member projects. They would like Microsoft employees to not force pull requests into their projects.

I'm Sorry
> I am not versed in all the details here
You should probably read the conversation in the PR: https://github.com/reactiveui/splat/pull/778
> there is a dire need for professional communications training among these programmers.
Maybe, but probably not why you think.
Once you've read the PR's conversation you'll see this isn't about someone just merging a PR which wasn't approved. This about someone submitting a PR, a maintainer asking for discussion before merging it, ignoring the maintainer and just merge the PR, the maintainer asking why it wasn't discussed and then making a snide remark to the maintainer.
So I agree that the "Sorry for merging a PR" isn't going to cut it here. The merging of the PR was the least of the problem. It's a hollow corporate-style apology where someone is allowed to be called out for. It's like saying: "Sorry I hurt your toe" after you pushed someone of a cliff.

Swift was always going to be part of the OS
> There's definitely things they tried to improve on that... weren't really improvements. The way "assemblies" are matched in .NET is much more sophisticated- the goal there was to try to kill DLL hell. It evolved into the Global Assembly Cache, which is sort of the Windows Registry of DLLs. Not a huge fan of those bits.
The Global Assembly Cache did not make the jump to the modern .NET (Core). There was the thing called `dotnet store`, but it’s broken since .NET 6: https://github.com/dotnet/sdk/issues/24752
The assembly redirection hell has also been greatly reduced there.

.NET Blazor
I do the same.
I have a small write-up here: https://chrlschn.dev/blog/2023/10/end-to-end-type-safety-wit...
You get end-to-end type safety (even better once you connect it to EF Core since you get it all ways to your DB).
With this setup with hot-reload (currently broken in .NET 8 [0]), productivity is really, really good. Like tRPC but with one of the most powerful ORMs out there right now.

LÖVE: a framework to make 2D games in Lua
That's a twisted and wrong narrative
Unity like refers to a Editor driven approach
Unity became popular with its moonscript language (javascript like), they then ditched it to focus on C#, but what propelled unity to what it is today is the Editor driven approach, not c#, not DOTS
They are forced to transpile C# to C++ via IL2CPP as a result to target consoles/mobiles
C# is a disease when it comes to console/mobile support
It's a substantial dependency, quite heavy
And you are not free of unity like fuck ups, it's a microsoft language after all:
https://github.com/dotnet/sdk/issues/22247
And let's not forget when they changed the license of their debugger overnight to prevent people from using it in their products (jetbrains for example)
And them deprecating open source tooling to a proprietary/closed one for vscode (c# devkit)
Let's be careful when we recommend evil as an alternative to evil ;)

Writing Python like it's Rust
Another difference you might be surprised by is that the .NET tooling by default collects various data from your system and sends it to Microsoft [1]. If you want to avoid this (and still want to use .NET) you'll have to make sure that the environment variable DOTNET_CLI_TELEMETRY_OPTOUT is set in all contexts before touching anything.
