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.
SWIG
- Swig – Connect C/C++ programs with high-level programming languages
- Using Lua with C++
-
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.

How do SWIG and LLVM compare as language ecosystems?

nelua-lang
- Nelua: Statically typed language with a Lua flavor
- Buzz: A lightweight statically typed scripting language

Lua has been a real eye opener for this Java dev
If you Like Lua's syntax and you wish you could achieve C speeds and have the metaprogramming ability of Java (Generics), by all means try https://nelua.io/ , you won't regret it!
- Minimal, simple, efficient, statically typed, compiled, metaprogrammable, safe, and extensible systems programming language
-
Pixelhopper: Tiny animated GIF player in C, with seeking, pause, etc (Linux x11 only, for now)
I should be uploading the code sometime this week, by the way. I'm looking for a way to bundle the code (which is written in Nelua) in a single C file, so anyone can build it without having to install all of the language and the dependencies.
- Using Lua with C++
-
Is it possible to make an OS in Lua?
You could probably write a kernel in Nelua or Luau, though I don't know of any efforts to do so.

I already asked this question exactly 2 years ago: https://github.com/edubart/nelua-lang/discussions/51
What are some alternatives?
cffi
terra - Terra is a low-level system programming language that is embedded in and meta-programmed by the Lua programming language.
CppSharp - Tools and libraries to glue C/C++ APIs to high-level languages
LuaJIT - Mirror of the LuaJIT git repository
Cython - The most widely used Python to C compiler
moonscript - :crescent_moon: A language that compiles to Lua
djinni
godot-lua-pluginscript - Godot PluginScript for the Lua language, currently based on LuaJIT's FFI
JavaCPP - The missing bridge between Java and native C++
red - Red is a next-generation programming language strongly inspired by Rebol, but with a broader field of usage thanks to its native-code compiler, from system programming to high-level scripting and cross-platform reactive GUI, while providing modern support for concurrency, all in a zero-install, zero-config, single ~1MB file!
JNA - Java Native Access
language-lua - Lua parser and pretty-printer
