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.

Buzz: A lightweight statically typed scripting language
I'm a fan or Umka. It is inspired by Go and can be embedded into C programs.

- The Umka scripting language released: Now with closures, type switch statements and faster strings

Closures in Umka
My scripting language Umka now supports closures. This is not merely a matter of fashion, but the requirement of the Tophat game engine that heavily relies on callbacks, particularly for inter-module communication via signals.

Umka 1.0 released. It's now the scripting language in the Tophat game framework
After three years of development, I released Umka 1.0, a statically typed scripting language designed for embedding into C/C++ host applications. Its syntax and some key features were inspired by Go. However, Umka doesn't rely on the Go ecosystem and only needs the C standard library to run.

Umka: A statically typed embeddable scripting language
Yaegi needs to be embedded in another golang program. It’s a golang module to evaluate golang. Which is cool, but different from what Umka seems to be.
Umka is a scripting language with syntax inspired by golang. A language with its own vm that you can embed anywhere, exsmple: https://github.com/vtereshkov/umka-lang/blob/master/examples....
Yaegi and Umka are two different things.

UmPlot: A visualization tool for the Umka language
UmPlot 0.1 has been released. It is an easy-to-use cross-platform plotting library for the Umka language. It is based on raylib and distributed as an Umka Module Implementation (UMI) file, i. e. a language extension shared library with an Umka interface.

Closures without closures in Umka
Some people who tried to use the Umka scripting language were frustrated by the absence of closures. This feature is under development and not yet released. However, you can easily simulate closures with the good old structures, methods and interfaces. This simple truth sometimes comes as a surprise to the users.

Umka: what additional features do you expect from an embeddable scripting language?
I have been developing the statically typed scripting language Umka for more than a year. Now it is stable enough to serve as the basis for various projects: a 2D game engine, a VDrift-based framework for exercising with the car autopilot logic, and a proprietary tractor dynamics simulator.

V Language Review (2023)
Their site is clearly showing the language is in beta. The V documentation also states that autofree is WIP, and to use the GC instead. This isn't a corporate created language, but looks to be a true volunteer open source effort from people around the world.
Their community, in comparison to others, even has their discussions open and open threads for criticism[1]. These

Show HN: A new stdlib for Golang focusing on platform native support
Goroutines was the selling point for me until they decided to introduce telemetry in their toolchain; that was what forced me to stop using Golang as a whole.
About GC, I would say: if you implement C++'s RAII mechanism to replace garbage collection, then I believe this project will have a bright future.
My final question is the following: how `pcz` compares to V language, from a syntax's perspective [1]?

- Hopefully, the V developers will establish a relationship with Microsoft.

The V Programming Language 0.4
V has the right to exist, have its supporters, and do things its own way. The creator and developers of V, from what I have seen, has always responded well to constructive criticism. Their language has discussions opened at their GitHub, unlike those for various other languages. They even have a thread for what people don't like and want improved about the language[1], again, something many other languages don't have.
A lot of what was going on initially, was coming from obvious competitors, to include being uncivil, inflammatory, and insulting. The initial "criticism" was not so much that, but false accusations of the language being a scam, vaporware, fraud, or didn't really exist. To include attacks and jealousy about its funding and having supporters. This was not any kind of "valid" criticism, that the creator or contributors of the language could reason about.
The "criticism" never died down, but rather after V was open-sourced and established itself on GitHub. The initial series of false accusations could not stand nor could the support it was getting be stopped. So, the rhetoric and targets shifted to whatever could be found to go after on the newly released alpha version of the language and its new website. In that new mix of what was being thrown at it, there were indeed some very valid criticisms, as can be found with any new language.
Constructive and valid criticism, is not the same as insults, trolling, misinformation, rivalry, or false accusations. There is clearly a difference. It's disingenuous to pretend something from one group is the same as the other, or that the intent behind what is being done is not different.
