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.

What config format do you prefer?
I haven't seen anyone mention starlark yet. It's something I want to play with as a config language.
-
loxcraft: a compiler, language server, and online playground for the Lox programming language
Aside from these, if you want some inspiration for a production-grade language built in Rust, you might want to go through the source code of Starlark and Gluon.

Launch HN: Moonrepo (YC W23) – Open-source build system
There is also a Rust implementation of Starlark as a starting point https://github.com/facebookexperimental/starlark-rust
To add to everyone else, please don't use YAML. Starlark is great _precisely_ because it is a readable, well known (nearly Python) language that is limited at the same time (no unbounded for loops, no way to do non-deterministic things like get the current time or `random()`).
-
Benchmarking Starlark against other embedded scripting languages
This is a follow-up to Benchmarking mlua/rlua/rhai - Rust embedded scripting languages from 4mo ago; I just added the new Starlark implementation from Meta to the benchmark posted by @aleksru.

The Perfect Configuration Format? Try TypeScript
The Rust implementation has it as an experimental extension (https://github.com/facebookexperimental/starlark-rust/blob/m...)
-
Making an interpreter for variable length byte-code, any way to use enums for this and not just a big u8?
u/ndmitchell has been working on a Starlark interpreter. He wrote up a blog post with some thoughts about different interpreter styles. He found that in his case using fixed sized instructions was about the same as byte-encoded ones, but compiling the AST to closures was also about the same performance as well, and doesn't need an AST->bytecode compiler.
-
Can i use rust to write my compiler??
As mentioned in other comments, type system features like algebraic data types (that Rust has) are really helpful. If you want a small-but-real example of a compiler in Rust (with an optimizer etc) then the starlark-rust compiler is good.

Zellij – A Terminal Workspace and Multiplexer Written in Rust
If your Rust program needs a more complicated configuration (conditionals, access to APIs and so on), also look at Facebook's Starlark parser and tooling[1]. Starlark is a subset of Python used by Bazel, Buck and a few other projects.

New version of Rust Starlark, an implementation of a deterministic Python-like language
The Facebook post gives a nice overview. It also links out to the home page for the project at https://github.com/facebookexperimental/starlark-rust/, which has an introduction and links to what Starlark is, the crates.io link, the docs.rs link etc.

topoconfig: enhancing config declarations with graphs
Meanwhile, formats have been evolving (JSON5, YAML), config entry points are constantly changing. These fluctuations, fortunately, were covered by tools like the cosmiconfig.
-
That's a Lot of YAML
I think JSON5 is fairly close to this: https://json5.org
I reckon the only thing it's missing to be truly accessible to non-techies is that string values still need to be quoted, i.e. you can't have:
key: this is my value
(I'm definitely not saying it would be a good idea to allow quotes to be dropped, just that that's the only potential stumbling block I see for non-techies.)
-
XML is better than YAML
I believe that's JSON5.
https://github.com/json5/json5
It's my preferred configuration file format, it fixes all the problems I have with JSON (trailing commas, comments) without turning it into a mess full of gotchas like YAML.

I would like to see mention of JSON5 which is 11 years its elder. For comments in JSON, JSON5 is a good starting point.
