The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
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.

Windows XP dedicated image viewer?
Click "View raw" to download. The executable is just ~3kB. If you'd like to try building it yourself, I distribute a Windows XP-friendly, no-installation-required C and C++ toolchain, w64devkit. The 32-bit toolchains are labeled "i686" (on the right under "Releases"). The build command (cc ...) is at the top of the source file.

Can you help me finish this vDSO Loader + mini-Elf64 Parser?
I bundle my preferred tools together in a standalone compiler toolkit for Windows: w64devkit. Except Git and documentation (see the links in the README), that's essentially everything I need to be productive.

Build a GCC 13 compiler from source for Windows 10/11
I have a Dockerfile here that goes through all the steps bootstrapping a Mingw-w64 toolchain from source: https://github.com/skeeto/w64devkit

Why is Swift so slow (timeout) in compiling this code?
FWIW, both GNU objcopy and GNU ld (including e.g. the XCOPY-deployable ones from w64devkit[1]) are perfectly capable[2] of turning binary data into MSVC-acceptable COFF files with start and end symbols, while Free Pascal, for example, straight up ships with a bin2obj tool; the MSVC toolset is the outlier here.

Generic Binary Tree Delete Function Error
Sounds like an high priority issue to solve first. I distribute a toolchain that doesn't require installation and includes a debugger: w64devkit (see "Releases"). You can pluck out the gdb.exe since it's statically linked and doesn't depend on anything else in the kit.

I've just finished to upgrade my raycaster game engine, adding multiplayer and more! Written from scratch in C and SDL2. GitHub in the comments :)
This particular case is a Windows program due to Winsock, and I happen to include all the above tools, except SDL2, a small Mingw-w64 distribution, w64devkit. So it doesn't take much!

How much has Emacs suffered or been held back over the years by RMS's prohibition of FFI in the past?
After following the blog by /u/skeeto there is also the list by /u/jkitchin https://github.com/jkitchin/emacs-modules, and one can see the relatively few resources on the usage of dynamic modules, when by now it should be possible to point at some header file of some library and have a skeleton automatically generated for you in Emacs. And it is mostly because an earlier generations of hackers who would have done so by now have probably moved on.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing w64devkit and emacs-modules you can also consider the following projects:
llvm-mingw - An LLVM/Clang/LLD based mingw-w64 toolchain
mingw-builds - Scripts for building the 32 and 64-bit MinGW-W64 compilers for Windows
cmake-init - The missing CMake project initializer
xschem - A schematic editor for VLSI/Asic/Analog custom designs, netlist backends for VHDL, Spice and Verilog. The tool is focused on hierarchy and parametric designs, to maximize circuit reuse.
mingw-builds-binaries - MinGW-W64 compiler binaries
SCL_String - Public domain, header-only file to simplify the C programmer's life in their interaction with strings
studiojs - Web interface for editing DOS games
Compactor - A user interface for Windows 10 filesystem compression
roguepc - Port of original PC-DOS Epyx Rogue to modern platforms
scratch - Personal scratch code
rust - Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.
