zig
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.

Is it too early to use Zig for CLI tooling ideas?
You can absolutely make CLI tools, but be prepared for breaking changes in the language with every release. I've been working on a fuzzy finder zf for a couple of years now, and with each Zig release there are a few things to fix. It's not a ton of work, but it is something to be aware of.

Zig's Curious Multi-Sequence for Loops
I’ve absolutely had satisfaction with my several personal projects written in Zig. And based on an imperfect measurement (GitHub stars) I have also had moderate success in making something useful. It’s a terminal fuzzy finder [0]. I also maintain a Zig Lua bindings package [1], and I’m working on a port of an old Macintosh game [2].
Zig is exactly what I want out of a language though, so take my opinion with a grain of salt :)

nvim-bqf v0.3.0 has been released.
This looks awesome! As someone who is already pretty invested in trouble.nvim and native integrations with Telescope and GitSigns (to name just two), what do you feel are the selling points? I wonder how you see integrations evolving too? In example, I use zf via telescope-zf-native.nvim over fzf and have had to do little to let other plugins fallback into that.

telescope-zf-native.nvim - filename focused fuzzy finding
I have long preferred the strictness of the fzy algorithm over fzf for fuzzy finding both in my shell and in neovim. But there are things about fzy that have bothered me (like the inability to narrow down results with space-delimited query terms). So I have been working on zf and libzf (written in Zig if you care about that sort of thing) for the shell and integration with neovim.

How to Write a PHP Extension with Zig?
When writing code in a scripting language, sometimes you need that extra bit of performance (or maybe an async feature from Zig).

Bun - The One Tool for All Your JavaScript/Typescript Project's Needs?
NodeJS is by no means a slow runtime, it wouldn’t be so popular if it was. But compared to Bun, it’s slow. Bun was built from the ground up with speed in mind, using both JavascriptCore and Zig. The Bun team spent an enormous amount of time and energy trying to make Bun fast, including lots of profiling, benchmarking, and optimizations.

Bun 1.1
ntdll.dll!RtlUserThreadStart()
There are valid reasons to use APIs from NTDLL. Where I disagree with zig#1840 is the idea that it is always better to use NTDLL versions of API. Every other software ecosystem uses the standard Win32 APIs and diverging from that without a good reason seems like a good way to have unexpected behavior. One concrete example is most users and programmers expect Windows to redirect some file system paths when running on WOW64. But this is implemented in Kernel32, not ntdll.
