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.

0.11.0 Release Notes
I don't know about "daily" right now (I've had to take a break due to obligations), but I'm working on a modern implementation of the Self programming language with actor capabilities: https://github.com/sin-ack/zigself
It's nowhere near usable yet, but Zig has been a joy to work with for over a year, and I can definitely see myself using it for a big piece of software.

Erlang's not about lightweight processes and message passing
> Creating a language with the feel of a lisp, the environment of Smalltalk, and the concurrency of Erlang has been my dream for a long time.
I'm trying to eventually accomplish something like this: https://github.com/sin-ack/zigself
It's an implementation of the Self programming language in Zig, with an actor model inspired by Erlang.
The main thing to realize is that Lisp and Smalltalk are very much symmetrical in terms of structure. There is no real distinction between the two other than syntax and basic computation unit (closures vs. objects). And even closures can be used as objects and vice versa.
That only leaves the concurrency model. I have a basic implementation of actors using objects as the "context". It still has a long way to go to reach the supervisor tree model of Erlang, but interestingly enough, the ideas in the article are reflected here heavily; behaviorism is at the core of Self.

0.11.0 Release Notes
I use Zig for all my hobby projects:
* A pixel art editor https://github.com/fabioarnold/MiniPixel
* A Mega Man clone https://github.com/fabioarnold/zeroman
* Zig Gorillas https://github.com/fabioarnold/zig-gorillas
And most recently I had the opportunity to build a visualization for TigerBeetle's database simulator: https://sim.tigerbeetle.com
Before I was using C++ and Zig has been an improvement in every way.
What are some alternatives?
