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.

Vala Programming Language
My favorite thing about Vala personally is the wide range of native libraries you have access to because of its compatibility with GObjects.
There's a great documentation website that has everything located in one place also, which makes development a breeze: https://valadoc.org/
-
Package management
Meson is the preferred build system, and Valadoc.org is invaluable.
-
Need guidance for developping GTK4 + Libwaita apps
You can use guides written for C along with https://valadoc.org.
-
valadoc.org is down.
I'm not sure who needs to be contacted, but valadoc.org is down. I was unable to reach it in Firefox or Chrome. Who do I need to contact? I'm seeing that elementaryOS is hosting valadoc.org, is that still the case?
-
My first experience with Vala
The official Vala documentation is valadoc.org. I found the ecosystem of libraries around the language yet immature: it's not easy to found information or examples (an often when you found something it's pretty old). There isn't a standardization of the documentation of the libraries. This fact doesn't help a newbie.

Recommended language for developing a GTK4 app?
I believe Vala is the best choice since the syntax is so simple, and has amazing documentation here
-
Am I a bad developer?
For going further, a lot of the API references are friendlier now. I like Valadoc. PyGObject exists for Python. C and Rust don't seem to have a good centralized source, but the documentation is a lot better now a days.
-
What is a good starting point and a programming language to start GTK4 app development?
Vala is not very widely used, but all applications in Elementary OS are written in Vala, and their Developer Docs will help you get started writing your first GTK4 application in Vala really quickly. From there on, you can use the excellent valadoc.org for API reference, or browse the source code of Elementary apps on Github.
-
Is there any good documentation about GTK#?
I'm often using documentation from another language binding when developing with GTK. Most of the time the Vala documentation https://valadoc.org/, because the language was designed around GLib and GTK. In your case it's even closer, because Vala is a C# knockoff with a different backend. Should keep you clear from C verbosity.

What’s the story behind Valadoc’s slogan: “Stays crunchy. Even in milk.”?
Found a monumental commit 😌: https://github.com/vala-lang/valadoc-org/blob/3f434c8bcd76b711d0262284fadbdeeb47165e6a/README.md

Cpp2 and cppfront – An experimental 'C++ syntax 2' and its first compiler
The evolution of C++ has been a multi-decade history of dealing with difficult reality.
I have great hope that Herb can create with his cppfront project “The Very Best of C++” to carry that tremendous legacy forward.
If I was to throw my hat into a “C++ successor”, it would be https://www.hylo-lang.org/ with its “all the safeties” and “tell you when you’re doing it sub-optimal” approach.

Borrow Checking Hylo [video]
Paper: https://2023.splashcon.org/details/iwaco-2023-papers/5/Borro...
> Hylo is a language for high-level systems programming that promises safety without loss of efficiency. It is based on mutable value semantics, a discipline that emphasizes the independence of values to support local reasoning. The result—in contrast with approaches based on sophisticated aliasing restrictions—is an efficient, expressive language with a simple type system and no need for lifetime annotations.
> Safety guarantees in Hylo programs are verified by an abstract interpreter processing an intermediate representation, Hylo IR, that models lifetime properties with ghost instructions. Further, lifetime constraints are used to eliminate unnecessary memory allocations predictably.

Why do lifetimes need to be leaky?
A model without lifetimes is also being explored in other languages, e.g. in Hylo. It sacrifices expressiveness, but on the other hand you don't have to deal with explicit lifetimes!
-
D Programming Language
Why go through all the trouble when you can do this: https://www.hylo-lang.org/ and not spend a second thinking of lifetimes? No, copies will not be issued unless necessary.
Or why not keep exploring this idea as well? More research-oriented than the first one right now, though, so take it with a grain of salt: https://vale.dev/

I've heard that "Rust's borrow checker is necessary to ensure memory safety without a GC" usually also implying it's the only way, but I've done the same without the borrow checker. Am I just clueless/confused?
