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.

Bringing more sweetness to ruby with sorbet types 🍦
First let's introduce the tool: Sorbet is a gem developed by Stripe that aims to bring type notation syntax and type checking support for the Ruby ecosystem by utilizing the "Gradual typing" philosophy, it also provide type generation from YARD comments via the tapioca gem, allowing to grow alongside the already built Ruby codebase.

Building GitHub with Ruby on Rails
Have you tried https://github.com/Shopify/tapioca with Sorbet? Typing in general has ways to go sure, but I find this combination quite usable in my day to day.
-
Can text editors detect undefined variables in Ruby?
Sorbet can do this, as long as you have type signatures for your code. Given Ruby's highly dynamic nature that's where tools like Tapioca come in to generate these, for example for Active Record models where instance methods are generated based on the database schema. But the moment when something returns T.untyped you're back where you were before - it helps but isn't perfect.

Open-Sourcing the Sorbet (Ruby) VS Code Extension
Regarding Sorbet and Rails, I recommend Tapioca [1].
The Rails app that I worked on had a few edge cases Tapioca didn't cover so I wrote a simple script to load the Rails app and generate RBI files (e.g. generate RBI definitions for fixture methods in ApplicationTestCase). The Tapioca codebase helped provide a path for that [2]. Tapioca also continues to add to their DSL compilers. The work to integrate Sorbet paid off very quickly.
Also, T::Enum and T::Struct are handy in any Ruby codebase.

New with Sorbet
I'm pretty sure sorbet-rails is just a rails-wrapper gem for the sorbet gem :-) (HAML does exactly same thing) and tapioca seems to be some convenience library to generate RBI (https://github.com/Shopify/tapioca)

Ruby 3.3's YJIT: Faster While Using Less Memory
Obviously as an interpreted language, it's never going to be as fast as something like C, Rust, or Go. Traditionally the ruby maintainers have not designed or optimized for pure speed, but that is changing, and the language is definitely faster these days compared to a decade ago.
If you like the ruby syntax/language but want the speed of a compiled language, it's also worth checking out Crystal[^1]. It's mostly ruby-like in syntax, style, and developer ergonomics.[^2] Although it's an entirely different language. Also a tiny community.

What languages are useful for contribution to the GNOME project.
Crystal is a nice language that's not only simple to read and write but performs very well too. And the documentation is amazing as well.

Jets: The Ruby Serverless Framework
Ruby is a super fun scripting language. I much prefer it to python when I need something with a little more "ooomph" than bash. It's just...nice...to write in. Ruby performance has come a long way in the last decade as well. There's libraries for pretty much everything.
My modern programming toolkit is basically golang + ruby + bash and I am never left wanting.
I do find Crystal (https://crystal-lang.org/) really interesting and am hoping it has its own "ruby on rails" moment that helps the language reach a tipping point in popularity. All the beauty of ruby with all of the speed of Go (and then some, it often compares favorably to languages like rust in benchmarks).

rbs_parser - Ruby RBS parsing and translation to Sorbet RBI
Nim - Nim is a statically typed compiled systems programming language. It combines successful concepts from mature languages like Python, Ada and Modula. Its design focuses on efficiency, expressiveness, and elegance (in that order of priority).
