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.

Announcing a new TypeScript ORM
Requiring the user to define model classes for the "ORM" is a massive pain in large codebases and requiring the user to maintain these is just too much boilerplate. Seems extremely bloated compared to the simplicity of how the shortcuts are implemented in Zapatos or similar libraries where 90% of the code is compiled away for production.

The complete guide to working with strings in modern JavaScript
I’m surprised to see no mention of tagged literals, a much more complex version of template literals. For users they may seem ~like a function call without parentheses. But they do quite a bit more.
Short version: they accept an array of raw substrings and a variadic set of arguments corresponding to the runtime values provided in template positions, each positional value corresponding following the raw string preceding it.
That raw array is more than what it seems, it also has a getter of raw string values for the template expressions. This is what String.raw (also not mentioned) uses to treat those arguments essentially the same way an untagged template literal would.
It’s an odd design/interface but it can be used to do some pretty cool stuff. For example, Zapatos[1], a type-safe SQL library for TypeScript.
My only complaints:
- I can’t think of a real reason for it to be variadic, and this makes authoring them a little more error prone. You should be able to expect one array of strings with a length N, and one array of (type checkable/inferrable) values with a length N-1.
2. Likewise I can’t think of a real reason for the raw values to be bolted onto a weird array subclass. It could just as easily have been an iterable third argument.

Type-safe Data Access in Go using Prisma and sqlc
Now, why not use an ORM? I've seen performance issues too many times with ORMs. I prefer writing my own SQL to avoid surprises. After all, I know the database schema and writing code for a specific purpose very often leads to better performance than generic code. ORMs have to support all kinds of database schemas. I only have to support mine. Having successfully used Knex.js in NodeJS (a popular query builder) in the past, I know writing SQL queries myself is not hard and provides very good performance.

Why SQL is right for Infrastructure Management
SQL is an old, irregular language to work with, but it is better known than HCL and SQL already has it's own Pulumi/CDK in the form of every ORM with introspection (like Javascript's Prisma, Python's Django, Go's XO etc) and QueryBuilder (LINQ, Knex, etc) in whatever programming language you prefer. You probably already know it.

Kysely: TypeScript SQL Query Builder
How does HN receive SQL builders in general? I feel like most of us agree ORMs are typically a bad idea. I feel like that almost instantly leaves the need for "something" to take its place. In my experience, it's typically been a query builder like this.
I've also tried:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/sql-template-strings ("out of date" since like 2016? https://www.npmjs.com/package/sql-template-tag might be better)
Are query builders an anti pattern? People who are doing serious/logic heavy stuff with SQL, how do you avoid a query builder (if at all?)

Promises, Thenables, & Lazy-evaluation: What, Why, How
Of course, this is a trivial example that you probably won’t find in production code, but there are many projects that use lazy-evaluated Promise-like objects. Probably the most common example is with database ORMs and query builders like Knex.js or Prisma.

MagLit - Free and Open Source Link Shortener with Privacy, Encryption, Password Protection and more!
why not just use a mariadb or postgres docker image? heck, even sqlite should be fine, given the simplicity of your needs. i work with nodejs myself, i'd highly recommend knexjs for this- it's super flexible!
