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.

Making Games in Go for Absolute Beginners
> It also has a bunch of libraries for embedding scripting languages https://awesome-go.com/embeddable-scripting-languages, with Tengo _probably_ being the quickest https://github.com/d5/tengo
Yes, I noticed those packages recently. The problem is that there is little data about how reliable and maintainable goloader is going to be on the long term.
As I care about performance and security, I don't want a scripting language, but WASM seems to be a very promising possibility. I have made benchmarks with 2~3 WASM engines in Go, and so far I am not completely convinced about the quality and performance of the available APIs. Also, when compiling Golang to WASM, the native compiler is still abysmally bad and does not have full support for imports, so Tinygo is a must-have.
Anyway, modding is still a long term idea at this point, so hopefully the ecosystem will get more mature within a couple of years.

Change go code behaviour at runtime
There are totally different things like https://github.com/d5/tengo but I don't know much about the docs, communities, or viability of them. Some like this one look very active and healthy. It might be worth considering.

Asking for advice to get deeper understanding of golang internals.
I started doing this a few years ago when I wanted to add programmability to another system I was working on, and didn't want Lua or anything else like that. I set it aside when other priorities arose, and didn't return to it when I saw that others had already done the same thing (yaegi, tengo).

The Awk Programming Language, Second Edition
TIL: GoAWK [1] - A POSIX-compliant AWK interpreter written in Go, with CSV support.

Anyone else doing compiler work in Golang?
Another nice project that I have used from time to time (and a very good source for insight) is the awk interpreter written in go https://github.com/benhoyt/goawk

Tool to interact with CSV
No, I want exactly the opposite - it should be a , b,c as a single string field containing a literal comma, and c. For example, https://github.com/benhoyt/goawk has csv support. https://github.com/benhoyt/goawk/blob/master/docs/csv.md - more info.

Why does awk parse '1&&x=1' as '1&&(x=1)' not '(1&&x)=1' when '&&' is high precedence than '='?
I've had a go at solving this in this PR -- feedback welcome. I don't love it, but oh well, it solves the problem at hand. Your comment pointed me in the right direction, thanks again.

There are quite a few re-implementations of scripting languages like Lua in Go. I've written an AWK interpreter in Go.

Oracle DB support in Benthos
github.com/benhoyt/goawk -> this library lets you embed an AWK runtime in your applications, very easy to use and useful for enabling some powerful scripting in things you build

Brian Kernighan adds Unicode support to Awk (May, 2022)
Yes, that's right. With my simplistic UTF-8-based implementation it turned length() -- for example -- from O(1) to O(N), turning O(N) algorithms which use length() into O(N^2). See this issue: https://github.com/benhoyt/goawk/issues/93
Similar with substr() and other string functions, which when operating as bytes are O(1), but become O(N) when trying to count the number of codepoints as UTF-8.
GNU Gawk has a fancier approach, which stores strings as UTF-8 as long as it can, but converts to UTF-32 if it needs to (eg: the string is non-ASCII and you call substr).
It looks like Brian Kernighan's code has the same issue with length() and substr(). I'm going to try to email him about this, as I think it's kind of a performance blocker.

Ask HN: Is having a Personal blog/brand worth it for you?
I'm not sure if it was via my personal website or just my GitHub profile, but I got my current job at Canonical due to the CTO there reaching out about my GoAWK project (https://github.com/benhoyt/goawk). I get regular recruitment emails because I have my CV/resume online: most of them are very low-effort, but 1 in 20 or something are interesting emails where the recruiter has actually looked at my website and will tailor it personally. I also just enjoy technical writing, and get joy out of sharing it on HN. So it's "worth it" for me.
