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.

Python GUIs
My guilty secret is to use Excel for my quick and dirty GUIs. I wrote a library to make that easy if you know C++. https://github.com/xlladdins/xll.

Show HN: I've built a C# IDE, Runtime, and AppStore inside Excel
Please tell Satya to show the ancient C SDK a little love. I'd hate to see this disappear: https://github.com/xlladdins/xll#fp-data-type

snitch v1.0 -- A lightweight C++20 testing framework
If you want to throw an exception instead of calling `abort` you can use https://github.com/xlladdins/xll/blob/master/xll/ensure.h When running in a debugger it can break execution when it fails and you can inspect the values of relevant variables.

I used C++ to embed sqlite into Excel
xll appears to be MIT according to the nuspec. xll_sqlite doesn't have a license, so the author hasn't given anybody to use it.

What are the best uses of C++?
Excel. C++ can be embedded in Excel and used interacively. It is more useful than old-fashioned python programming. I wrote something that makes this easy; https://github.com/xlladdins/xll

C Compiler Which Targets Excel (MS Office)
This is quite clever, and probably a joke that I'm not getting, but the Excel C SDK lets you call C/C++ from Excel and vice versa. This is one of my bread and butter tools, and I like nice tools, so I wrote a C++ wrapper around the SDK. It also lets you embed C++ objects in Excel: https://github.com/xlladdins/xll

What's the coolest thing you've created with c++?
A C++ library that lets you embed C++ objects in Excel. https://github.com/xlladdins/xll.

DMD Compiler as a Library: A Call to Arms
Here's the pipeline spitting out the same error as on my macbook did.
https://github.com/dlang/dmd/actions/runs/8023469412/job/219...
I added your code to the D test suite. It passes on all supported platforms, including Windows and OSX. I am at a loss why it isn't working for you.

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.

Thank you for the explanation.
I agree that if one isn't going to enhance C, one is going to have to resort to these tools.
C gets new features now and then. Why not add something incredibly useful, like the slice proposal? Instead, C23 got enhanced with the crazy Unicode identifiers. Richard Cattermole has been adding them to D's C support, requiring 6000 lines of code!!
https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/15307
The entire C parser is 6000 lines of code:

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.
