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.

Roadmap to master zig
Master syntax - language possibilities, so that you can read code. Ziglings (or github) does great job teaching it!
-
Problems of C, and how Zig addresses them
I am interested to learn, how Traits in Rust and Interfaces in Go behave differently from this concept.

- Learning how to use the Zig build system.

What's the reasoning behind the iguana mascot, and why is Zig specifically named so?
Is Zero the space lizard (dinosaur?) with the hammer in the picture in Ziglings' readme? (I like this guy)
-
List of wanted examples?
Yesterday someone introduced me to ziglings, do you mean that? https://github.com/ratfactor/ziglings/tree/main/exercises
- Looking for feedback on new Ziglings Exercise 101 (multi-object 'for' loops and data-oriented design)

Curious noob peeks memory and wants to understand it 😅
Hi! I am learning zig through the Ziglings repo. I was messing around exercise 54 where it shows how you can create a pointer to many items instead of a slice:
-
What “sucks” about Zig?
Also, https://github.com/ratfactor/ziglings if you missed it.
-
Ask reddit: What learning resources have taught you the most about zig?
Along with ziglearn, I also found ziglings useful.

DMD Compiler as a Library: A Call to Arms
Here's the pipeline spitting out the same error as on my macbook did.

My favourite Git commit (2019)
Not completely on topic (if you read TFA) but my favorite Git commit is by compiler badass and HN frequenter, where he checks in an entire C compiler to the D language repo:

The C Bounded Model Checker: Criminally Underused
A new generated code alone is 4000 lines long [1]. The actual code added is just 2000 lines, and some are used to pay debts, I mean, to make a proper code generator (which can be alternatively written in a simpler scripting langauge). In any case it is never comparable to the entier C parser proper.

OpenD, a D language fork that is open to your contributions
D is completely opensource already (https://github.com/dlang/dmd). The "open" of OpenD is just ADR saying that OpenD will be more open to new language features than D has historically been.
-
The OpenD Programming Language (fork of D)
The reference compiler, DMD, is open source: https://github.com/dlang/dmd
But they don't accept just any Pull Request or features the community submits, understandably. There's a process called DIP for language improvements: https://github.com/dlang/DIPs/blob/master/DIPs/README.md
However, by some accounts, it's really hard to get anything through.
Given D already has so many feature, I find that to be a good thing , to be honest, by not everyone agrees, of course.
