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.

Implementing Interactive Languages
Not directly related, but this made me think of something I've been interested in recently - structured editors. Instead of tokenizing text and then parsing to an AST, you effectively edit the AST directly.
Since the thrust of the post seems to be about the sum of compilation + run time, it's a potentially more efficient alternative to traditional code editing. Here's an example of one in action:

> eco
The eco article is quite interesting, it's a cool proof-of-concept. I don't know exactly how it compares, but there's also tylr, with an online demo you can check out [1].
> The example of splitting "Hello world" into a list of words is a pretty bad example;
I just wanted to set up some very quick easy-to grasp context with it for the discussion that follows. You are right, of course, the normal editors don't have much trouble with that level of detail. Maybe I will come up with something better later on, though not too complex...
> I'm currently working on knowledge management, which I think you have to split in different subfields;
My view on this is that you can't generally predict that, but what you can do instead is let the user compose the structure and features of custom documents, thus creating custom workflows suitable for the task at hand, whatever it may be. I will be generally taking that approach with Kraken.
> literate programming
I think computational notebooks take the core idea and make it practical, and I think it's fair to say those are literate programs, albeit without the web-tangle aspect.
> Again, good luck etc.
Hey, thanks for the feedback!

Ruby 3.3's YJIT: Faster While Using Less Memory
Obviously as an interpreted language, it's never going to be as fast as something like C, Rust, or Go. Traditionally the ruby maintainers have not designed or optimized for pure speed, but that is changing, and the language is definitely faster these days compared to a decade ago.
If you like the ruby syntax/language but want the speed of a compiled language, it's also worth checking out Crystal[^1]. It's mostly ruby-like in syntax, style, and developer ergonomics.[^2] Although it's an entirely different language. Also a tiny community.

What languages are useful for contribution to the GNOME project.
Crystal is a nice language that's not only simple to read and write but performs very well too. And the documentation is amazing as well.

Jets: The Ruby Serverless Framework
Ruby is a super fun scripting language. I much prefer it to python when I need something with a little more "ooomph" than bash. It's just...nice...to write in. Ruby performance has come a long way in the last decade as well. There's libraries for pretty much everything.
My modern programming toolkit is basically golang + ruby + bash and I am never left wanting.
I do find Crystal (https://crystal-lang.org/) really interesting and am hoping it has its own "ruby on rails" moment that helps the language reach a tipping point in popularity. All the beauty of ruby with all of the speed of Go (and then some, it often compares favorably to languages like rust in benchmarks).
