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.

Microsoft opens sources ThreadX RTOS used in Raspberry Pis
It is not open source. The source code is open but with an evaluation, i.e. proprietary license:
https://github.com/azure-rtos/threadx/blob/master/LICENSE.tx...

Eclipse ThreadX
License looked alright, until I came across this: https://github.com/azure-rtos/threadx/blob/a8e5d0946c31385ff...

PlatformIO and Zephyr is a bad idea
Portability, mainly. Zephyr runs on a wide variety of architectures and 450+ variations of popular boards are already supported upstream (adding more often being pretty easy). In your particular example, your own preferences with regards to building on top of open-source software may play a role too. For example, Azure RTOS is not open source, and its license will, among other things, prevent you to use it in production on other hardware than what's listed herehere. So easily moving from one hardware vendor / SoC to the other might be a problem, should this be a requirement (and it kind of becomes one for a lot of people in these times if silicon shortage)

Linux vs. QNX/VxWorks for a climate control system - Education
Honestly as long as you use one of the supported MCU families ThreadX is probably a better choice these days given how much better NetX is over FreeRTOS’ TCP implementation.

As a guess, what percentage of embedded projects actually need the R in RTOS?
Azure RTOS/ThreadX is only free on approved pre-licensed uCs, but with that said, there's a ton of devices covered by it so it's an option for a lot of projects.

What are some cool modern libraries you enjoy using?
I'm interested in something equivalent to tx_byte_pool but for non-embedded usage where I want a custom allocator for defined pools. Do you know if mimalloc can do this? I see it has custom heaps, but I didn't see any functions to create one from raw memory.

Thoughts? They look great though!
source is apparently available but no idea what licensing it uses

How to define API stability for a C++ library?
https://github.com/ned14/outcome/tree/develop/abi-compliance uses both in a CI pass to ensure Outcome never changes anything which breaks either API or ABI with earlier versions.

Outcome enters sustaining phase, goes ABI stable

Does Anyone Use Boost Outcome?
I recently came across boost outcome as I was searching for a better error handling method. It took me a minute to get a hang of it but now I love it. After creating my own policy and a few aliases for easier use.
-
Is this error handling strategy good?
std::optional and std::variant can be a bit awkward to use in this scenario, though. Consider a dedicated type like boost::outcome (standalone versions) or one of the implementations of the proposed std::expected.

Modern C++ "result" type based on Swift / Rust
Minimum possible compile time impact is a key goal of https://github.com/ned14/outcome. We ship a single header edition which only includes the low impact standard headers as listed at https://github.com/ned14/stl-header-heft. We also don't use union storage for non-TC non-MB types in order to avoid complex metaprogramming execution by the compiler per instantiation.

C++ Memory Safety
It's really weird that I wrote the above, and then this bug was reported to Outcome: https://github.com/ned14/outcome/issues/244. Here is my exact complaint about lack of lifetime tracking in C++.
