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.

X11 is dead, switch to Wayland
I am personally waiting for Waymonad. https://github.com/waymonad/waymonad
-
With rise of wayland, are simpler window managers dying?
It takes time, but the teams behind wlroots etc are doing good work to make sure that wms managed by smaller teams can exist. There are even clones for your specific wm on wayland. See https://github.com/waymonad/waymonad
-
switching from awesomewm to a wayland compositor
In addition, there was the last commit in 2019. Thus, it can be assumed that the project is dead and therefore nothing will change on the current state. And according to https://github.com/waymonad/waymonad/issues/44, there are probably not enough people who would actively participate in a fork.

I was in a stream and I realized what is still lacking from Linux Gaming to be mainstream
Ideally xmonad would be ported/xmonad devs would be working on waymonad, but I doubt it will happen. Waymonad seems to be abandoned.

Cool Desktops Don’t Change
Nice to see Qtile on Wayland. But I'm personally waiting for xmonad on Wayland.
https://github.com/waymonad/waymonad
-
A tiling desktop environment is now available for Bullseye
I wouldn't count on it, as Waymonad has not seen active development since 2019 and the Haskell bindings to wlroots have not been updated since 2019 as well. There is a fork, but it has not been active since September 2021. Also, it was based on wlroots, not sway.
-
How hard would it be to make my own window manager?
That's what the XMonad fans are using: https://github.com/waymonad/waymonad lets you write your Wayland compositor in Haskell, is analogy to the way XMonad lets you write your X window manager in Haskell.
-
I would not give up haskell for hiring purposes. I think it will exponentialy rise through the roof in a year or two [2012]
Unfortunately it was abandoned https://github.com/waymonad/waymonad/issues/44
- Is there a successful Wayand wm that is close to xmonad?
-
Little advice, please.
regarding keeping an interest, waymonad has been dead for something like two and a half years but according to startrack it's still getting people giving him stars so i don't think you should worry about it.

Ninja is enough build system
Samurai is a faster, drop-in replacement for ninja.

Using Landlock to Sandbox GNU Make
"If you want to do what "scrappy Google" did these days, then you should use Python + Ninja."
Or, better yet, use a simpler, faster and more portable^1 Ninja written in C.

1. The "simpler, faster, and more portable", are the author's claims, not mine. I am not the author.

Moving SciPy to the Meson Build System
Why is Python not portable, as in, on which systems is "build Python and then use that to run Meson" not a reasonable option?
The CI for boson seems like it runs on platforms where Python definitely is available, but also I notice the CI uses samurai, a reimplementation of ninja with a similar motivation: https://github.com/michaelforney/samurai
Ninja is in C++ so I am even more confused at Sanurai.
Is this just an implementation-diversity thing? (which is great!)
-
xorg sucks, use swc
This means ninja is popular both on embedded for its tiny footprint (samurai is about 3k sloc and portable), and for humongous projects like Chrome, because it is infinitely scalable in complexity due to its genaration method.
