The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
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.

Purego – A library for calling C functions from Go without Cgo
How is this any different than a mature tool such as SWIG (https://www.swig.org/)?
I've used SWIG extensively with Python to call C code and import C headers for testing/tooling purposes.
-
How does Golang communicate with C++?
For pure C, CGO. For C++ they are likely creating shims with Swig: https://www.swig.org/

I feel really dumb whenever I take a coding test for a job
I mostly write in C and C++ so for language bindings I use Swig a lot. Say Im creating a machine learning library in C++, its very easy to create a Python API that can call the C++ classes and methods using Swig. iirc, I am using the same swig interface file to create bindings for Python, OCaml, R and even Fortran. Feel free to DM me if you got any more questions or anything!

Is there a way to use a c++ project in a python project?
Swig can make c++ types and functions available to python.

Boxflow - A universal layout engine written in Zig
The likes of SWIG is often used to link C library-like code to 11-ish other widely used languages.

Hi, I have this program in C which I have to convert in Java(Android code), so that it could be used for decoding the output obtained from a Simulated program. Please help.
Maybe you could use swig to create a wrapper for Java.

What's the "modern" way of creating a native addon for Node.js?
Thanks! This seems pretty official. I do really like what I saw from https://napi.rs/ where you just throw a "#[napi]" macro on and it works. Do you know if there's a Node API equivalent C/C++ workflow or tool that does something similar? I think the https://github.com/nodejs/webidl-napi is kinda what I'm looking for but it's archived.

Equivalent to wasm-pack for nodejs C FFI?
Does it need to be Neon? From what I've read, there's something about its design that allows napi-rs to achieve better performance in some situations.

Write SDK “base” in Rust, wrap in other languages?
For example, they list PyO3 for Python (see also maturin for packaging), NAPI-RS for Node.js, and Rutie for Ruby.
