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.

Mixing Swift and C++
a : https://github.com/apple/swift-corelibs-foundation/blob/main...
I wouldn't want to be the guy relying on this table advancement for this project. The fact that they're rewriting it in pure swift probably says a lot about the quality of the current approach.
b: makes absolutely no difference from a developer perspective. if you want to run threads in swift you're going to use gcd.
c: my take with all apple software tech has been to wait until they've dogfooded their own tech long enough to make it useable. Worked very well for me so far, thank you very much.

Apple Announces Full Swift Rewrite of the Foundation Framework
Correction: rewrite of PARTS of Foundation
There already was an open-source project to rewrite ALL of foundation, but it had stalled on the shores of having to re-implement everything:

Apple's Swift rewrite of its Foundation framework will be open source
The (shitty) old Linux implementation has been on GitHub for years.

There is no “software supply chain”
Sigh... The traditional argument is that every dependency is of the same quality and trustworthiness of the language Standard Library.
If I use the SL, then I should also have no problem using some lashed-up chimera that has a dependency hierarchy that spans three continents.
Like I said, I'll do things my way.
For the record, here's a peek at some of the "worthless" packages that I use in my own work: https://github.com/RiftValleySoftware
Also, for the record, here's the Swift Foundation Library: https://github.com/apple/swift-corelibs-foundation
It has plenty of open issues: https://github.com/apple/swift-corelibs-foundation/issues
If every dependency chain can match these, yhen I'll be open to considering them.
As it is, I do use the occasional external package, but I'm picky.

Show HN: Particles – the URL contains the whole program code
Partly this is doable because although RFC 2616 specifies a max URL length of 2048 bytes, most browsers allow much longer, with Chrome and Firefox allowing at least 64k chars (that's what they'll display but it seems like more is happily processed), while Safari allows URL strings up to 2GB in size[1]!

What is missing in the Swift ecosystem?
Regarding your point #3, Swift does indeed have an open-source cross-platform implementation of Foundation. swift-corelibs-foundation

Is "import Foundation" always required in Swift code?
Foundation is open source and (mostly) works on Linux. What else do you want to see “opened up?”

Apple’s use of Swift and SwiftUI in iOS 15
Foundation is not the standard library of Swift. Swift has its own standard library that is bundled with the language on all platforms that are supported.
And Foundation itself isn't written in Swift, a good portion is written in C.
> A significant portion of the implementation of Foundation on Apple platforms is provided by another framework called CoreFoundation (a.k.a. CF). CF is written primarily in C and is very portable. Therefore we have chosen to use it for the internal implementation of Swift Foundation where possible. As CF is present on all platforms, we can use it to provide a common implementation everywhere.

Show HN: Pywebview 5
Bundling Python isn't too bad if you find the right tools for it.
I really like https://github.com/indygreg/python-build-standalone and https://github.com/indygreg/PyOxidizer
A bundled, built standalone Python can be 16 to 32MB (including the full standard library, which you can strip down to just the bits you use to save size). Not tiny, but probably not worth switching programming languages over.

Why do you enjoy systems programming languages?
But really, I would suggest thinking about what you want to build before "how" or "with which tool" - one of the signs of a person becoming a good engineer is having an array of tools at their disposal and being able to choose a correct tool for the correct task. Rust also excels in integrating with other languages - with JS via WebAssembly (a bit of self-promotion, for example), with Elixir via Rustler, with Python via PyO3 and PyOxidizer, etc. So you absolutely can start writing a frontend app with JS, or a distributed system with Elixir, or a data processing/ML app with Python and use Rust to speed up critical parts of those. Or, in reverse, you can start with Rust & add new capabilities to whatever you're building, that being a frontend, a resilient chat interface, or an ML model.

List of Python compilers
Thank you, although this is not exactly on topic. I'd not heard of PyOxidizer, but it appears to have the same goal as PyInstaller, py2exe, and cx_Freeze -- as the PyOxidizer readme says, it produces

Mitogen speedup (the actual value)
A starting point to try out binary modules by the way would be https://github.com/indygreg/PyOxidizer - could already have benefits by rolling in all dependencies of modules (so no more pip/apt/dnf/... installs on target hosts). Setting this up should be relatively straightforward and could probably be automated enough to even manage to build binary modules for all modules in the community ansible distribution eventually.

A Completely Open-Source Implementation of Apple Code Signing and Notarization
XAR signing is effectively just an RFC 5652 CMS signature plus some minimal data structure manipulation. Code at https://github.com/indygreg/PyOxidizer/blob/faa7dfcea5d66bf5....
Mach-O and bundles, by contrast, require a myriad of additional data structures requiring thousands of lines of code to support. To my knowledge, nobody else has implemented signing of these far-more-complicated primitives. (Existing Mach-O signing solutions just do ad-hoc signing and/or don't handle Mach-O in the context of a bundle.)
What are some alternatives?
