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.

For a moment I thought it was about wren programming language... [1]

Attempting each AOC in a language starting with each letter of the alphabet
For "W" you could use Wren.

loxcraft: a compiler, language server, and online playground for the Lox programming language
Bob Nystrom also has a blog, and his articles are really well written (see his post on Pratt parsers / garbage collectors). I'd also recommend going through the source code for Wren, it shares a lot of code with Lox. Despite the deceptive simplicity of the implementation, it (like Lox) is incredibly fast - it's a great way to learn how to build production grade compilers in general.

Bevy 0.10: data oriented game engine built in Rust
Only kind of unrelated ... Every time I see the Bevy logo I'm reminded of Wren language https://wren.io/

Are they all like this?
If you want a pure C99 (sadly not C89 like Lua) immensely fast embeddable language pure interpreter, wren is a great language with excellent features like overload by arity. There is a huge maturity gap between the languages tho.
-
Most important language features not touched in the book "Crafting Interpreters"?
Check out the source to Wren: https://wren.io. It’s from the author of Crafting Interpreters and builds directly on what’s discussed in the book (essentially a more complete Lox) and adds several additional types, including an array.

What are some good C programs I can read through?
The best C code I have ever read is that of wren.
