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.

Servo, the parallel browser engine written in Rust
A quick test-run on the pages linked from the hackernews front page:
hackernews svg logo doesn't render
youtube embed on the servo homepage doesn't load
https://github.com/tpope/timl -> reloads/rerenders infinitely, uses 100% of 1 core
https://akrzemi1.wordpress.com/2023/04/23/the-obvious-final-... -> hangs while loading the page, uses 100% of 1 core
https://equalitytime.github.io/FlowersForTuring/ -> loads/renders fine
https://github.com/reactos/reactos -> reloads/rerenders infinitely, uses 100% of 1 core
https://dolphin-emu.org/blog/2023/05/27/dolphin-steam-indefi... -> loads fine but css rendering/placement is off on breadcrumbs and article
https://xcp-ng.org/blog/2023/05/23/new-xen-updates-on-risc-v... -> very long load then hangs while loading javascript/content.
Not a great batting average - seems like sites need to be purpose built for this or leverage little/no modern javascript libraries for it to render accurately. Servo has been in this state for the last 5 or 6 years since I first discovered it.

Let it snow in Emacs! (now with wind, varying intensity, and accumulation on terrain)
Hey, they have a lisp, it’s a start!

Node still seems better than python after all this time for web server speed but..
Numpy is a library - node.js has plenty of them, what is missing? There is stdlib package that offers optimized math functions, for example.

Servo, the parallel browser engine written in Rust
Websites do the same thing as 15 years ago? Not true, websites can now exceed desktop apps. Was their figma 15 years ago?
20 times more complex - this comes with doing more. 15 years ago there was no CI/CD.
Write CSS - don’t have to given Sass, components, and bootstrap.
Performance is worse - look at v8 benchmarks, look at webgl and Wasm. The browser itself can run much faster today, and people are doing more with it.
JS barebones - just one package. https://github.com/stdlib-js/stdlib. - and the node ecosystem is a feature not a bug.
Look elsewhere - every other UI framework we’ve tried before has been worse in terms of compatibility, functionality, flexibility, and available prebuilt tooling.

“True” Randomness vs. “Pseudo” Randomness
two of the best PRNG libs for JS/TS: https://github.com/transitive-bullshit/random and https://github.com/stdlib-js/stdlib

my thoughts about Node as a backend
Scientific calculations - like what? There is a stlib package for JS where CPU hungry parts are written in C.

What convenience libraries are must use?
lodash and lodash-es for browser are good, check out also stdlib

A notable JavaScript developer shamelessly copied one of my most downloaded nod
