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.

V is very similar to Go. ... Innovative memory management
Looks like the ~90-100% autofree and then reference counting, is a good memory management, and is very practical too, as proved by translating DOOM from C to V and building it in 0.7 seconds
- C2Rust Transpiler

I started using Nim recently and have been very impressed. It feels like a better Rust than Rust, and a better Go than Go.
Excuse me? Work on the V operating system has begun, the C->V transpiler can kind of handle a single Doom source file at this point and the Volt app, for which V was created in the first place, is going to get open-sourced any day now.

How Does V Compare To Zig
I believe that you're talking about doom repository. If that's the case, how'd I believe that it was indeed done using C2V when it's non-existent (checked the repo, it's still empty). A simple AST parsing python script with some heuristics can achieve one time conversion, that doesn't mean that it would work for all C programs.

DMD Compiler as a Library: A Call to Arms
Here's the pipeline spitting out the same error as on my macbook did.

My favourite Git commit (2019)
Not completely on topic (if you read TFA) but my favorite Git commit is by compiler badass and HN frequenter, where he checks in an entire C compiler to the D language repo:

The C Bounded Model Checker: Criminally Underused
A new generated code alone is 4000 lines long [1]. The actual code added is just 2000 lines, and some are used to pay debts, I mean, to make a proper code generator (which can be alternatively written in a simpler scripting langauge). In any case it is never comparable to the entier C parser proper.

OpenD, a D language fork that is open to your contributions
D is completely opensource already (https://github.com/dlang/dmd). The "open" of OpenD is just ADR saying that OpenD will be more open to new language features than D has historically been.

The OpenD Programming Language (fork of D)
The reference compiler, DMD, is open source: https://github.com/dlang/dmd
But they don't accept just any Pull Request or features the community submits, understandably. There's a process called DIP for language improvements: https://github.com/dlang/DIPs/blob/master/DIPs/README.md
However, by some accounts, it's really hard to get anything through.
Given D already has so many feature, I find that to be a good thing , to be honest, by not everyone agrees, of course.
