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.

Redis Re-Implemented with SQLite
I'm waiting for someone to implement the Redis API by swapping out the state machine in TigerBeetle (which was built modularly such that the state machine can be swapped out).

The Fastest and Safest Database [video]
I fully agree with what Prime says at the end - Joran has really set a new bar here for all future database presentations.
Hearing that the entire TigerBeetle domain logic lives in a single file [0] (and is intended to be pluggable for other OLTP use cases!) makes it 1000% more tempting to spend the weekend getting up to speed with Zig.

Building a Scalable Accounting Ledger
Why would you want to build your own accounting ledger from scratch? Accounting is a completely new domain for most engineers, and TigerBeetle (https://tigerbeetle.com/) already solves this problem.

The Raft Consensus Algorithm
Maelstrom [1], a workbench for learning distributed systems from the creator of Jepsen, includes a simple (model-checked) implementation of Raft and an excellent tutorial on implementing it.
Raft is a simple algorithm, but as others have noted, the original paper includes many correctness details often brushed over in toy implementations. Furthermore, the fallibility of real-world hardware (handling memory/disk corruption and grey failures), the requirements of real-world systems with tight latency SLAs, and a need for things like flexible quorum/dynamic cluster membership make implementing it for production a long and daunting task. The commit history of etcd and hashicorp/raft, likely the two most battle-tested open source implementations of raft that still surface correctness bugs on the regular tell you all you need to know.
The tigerbeetle team talks in detail about the real-world aspects of distributed systems on imperfect hardware/non-abstracted system models, and why they chose viewstamp replication, which predates Paxos but looks more like Raft.

CWE Top Most Dangerous Software Weaknesses
> There is no reason to use a memory unsafe language anymore, except legacy codebases, and that is also slowly but surely diminishing. I'm still yet to hear this amazingly compelling reason that you just need memory unsafe languages. In terms of cost/benefits analysis, memory unsafety is literally all costs.
Tell that to the authors of new memory unsafe languages (like Zig) and creators of new project in those languages (like https://tigerbeetle.com) :(

Install mutiple Erlang and Elixir with vfox
Theoretically, you could install any version that appears in https://github.com/erlang/otp/releases. Since it is compiled and installed from source, the installation process will take some time. When you see the following message, the installation is complete.

Why are there so many languages?
Funny that you should mention Erlang. Looking at the Github for Erlang, it appears that the source for Erlang is 16.8% written in C. I would bet these are not the least important bits of the whole thing. So, Erlang depends on C.

Erlang: More Optimizations in the Compiler and JIT
It looks more like some of the JIT improvements made it profitable to manually unroll some loops in the base64 module: https://github.com/erlang/otp/commit/a03cf1601605dee767cd9d5...

Mixing sync and async views in the same application
https://github.com/erlang/otp as far as I know. It's somewhat confusing and I honestly couldn't say exactly where the BEAM VM or OTP or ERTS (Erlang Runtime System) start and end. I've never dug into it. I just install Elixir and sometimes Erlang through the ASDF tool, which does all the compiling for me.
