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.

A statically typed scripting language that transpiles to Posix sh
looks like the task runner part [1] has unfortunate name overlap with the family of programs that include z.lua[2] or zoxide [3] or z.sh [4].
Not really that big of a deal, I just like tracking command line apps naming because it is an interesting exercise of being short, intuitive, and unique. When you decide a single letter is your name, surely you are going to run into this.

Things I've learned about building CLI tools in Python
Fingers crossed for vlang[0]. It's like golang with better types and more syntactic sugar. Feels like a proper upgrade from Python.
I really hope they succeed.

- Ask HN: Who is developing a programming language that compiles to C?
- The V Programming Language 0.4
-
Ah, Go, with its simple and straightforward syntax, where things just make sense (most of the time, before generics were added)
And again a No true Scotsman. If that's the kind of attitude you have towards languages, you'll appreciate V infinitely more than you might be appreciating Rust. After all, it offers better solutions than Rust, like autofree, they just aren't there yet :)
-
Why is Vlang's autofree model not more widely used?
I discovered VLang today. It's an interesting project.

Seed7 version 2023-05-29 released on GitHub and SF
According to their own benchmarks, Seed7 can run faster than C (it compiles to C, but it's entirely possible the emited code is better optimized than a human could write directly in C)... it doesn't have a GC BUT manages memory automatically (I didn't really follow the explanation in the FAQ, something about automatically freeing variables that go out of scope and keeping only one reference around?)... that's like a current pipe dream for language designers! From https://vale.dev/ to https://vlang.io/, no one has pulled that off yet, to my knowledge... has Seed7 done that all those years ago?!
