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.

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.

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.

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.

- 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?!
