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.

Late 70s and 80s: forget BASIC, we had Pascal and C
Something bespoke.
My code repository contains a link to a youtube channel where the board was discussed, and where I found it randomly. But sadly the upstream site of the provider and the (useful) forums it hosted are gone unless you use the wayback machine:

Turbo Pascal Turns 40
That's what I remember too.
I briefly documented how to run Turbo Pascal 3.00A on a CP/M system a while back:
https://github.com/skx/z80-playground-cpm-fat/blob/main/TURB...
I'm doing that on a single-board Z80-based system, and it has to be said that writing pascal is a pleasure on such a machine. 64k of memory, and yet code compiles to real executables "instantly".

submit for cp/m 2.x?
This is a copy of CP/M running on a single-board computer. Source code I'm using is here.

Turbo Pascal Turns 40
One of my favourite computer games was written in Turbo Pascal: ZZT by Epic Megagames. It was a quircky text-mode game with puzzles, shooting, and a built-in game editor that came even with the free shareware version (it even had a little programming language called ZZT-OOP).
ZZT's original source code was lost. Years later, Adrian Siekierka painstakingly reverse-engineered the original Turbo Pascal code till -- when compiled with the original compiler -- produced a byte-for-byte identical executable. Amazing! Read more:

- pas2go is a converter (or "transpiler") that tries to convert Pascal source code to Go. It only works on the subset of Turbo Pascal 5.5 used in Adrian Siekierka’s reconstruction of ZZT
