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.

YJIT: Building a New JIT Compiler for CRuby
Just in case anybody finds the subject interesting and would like to play with this topic, there's an experimental native-Ruby JIT project by @tenderlove: https://github.com/tenderlove/tenderjit (and the companion native-Ruby assembler Fisk: https://github.com/tenderlove/fisk).

Tenderjit – A JIT for Ruby Written in Ruby
It’s x86-64 only. A quick look at the https://github.com/tenderlove/tenderjit/blob/main/lib/tender... linked from the README reveals heavy references to x86-64 registers. The “Fisk” library used appears to be a x86-64 assembler in Ruby.
I guess that’s to be expected with “pure ruby” — all the cross-insn backends you can use (Cranelift, LLVM) are written in not-Ruby.

Tenderjit – A JIT for Ruby Written in Ruby
There was actually an existing, similar in concept, Ruby JIT, Rhyzome: https://github.com/chrisseaton/rhizome.
It's good to see (IMO) the development of a JIT in a strict sense. I'm personally skeptical about the current approach (invoking a compiler separately).
On the other hand, it's important to know that JITs may take a long development time to be performant, and that they also complicate the performance profile of a virtual machine.

Let's write a compiler, part 5: A code generator
Lots of compiler tutorials are like this - there's very little out there to explain how compilers really work.
This is my effort - trying to show genuine data structures and processes.
