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.

Buzz: A lightweight statically typed scripting language
ZVM (https://github.com/tristanisham/zvm) is a good alternative to keep uptodate with Zig nightly versions and also quickly switch to a stable version when needed.

Learning Zig
I tried out zvm (Zig Version Manger) on my Mac laptop earlier today, seems to work even if it’s not super polished:

Goodbye to the C++ Implementation of Zig
If you’re interested in trying Zig out and want an easy way to update/use multiple versions I’ve been working on a Zig Version Manager for the past few weeks.
It works on Windows, Mac, Linux, a smattering of BSD’s and Plan 9. Arm and x86.

Show HN: I made a better Perplexity for developers
It's "Zig" not "Zag". https://ziglang.org/ Zig is under heavy development, but there's a single page https://ziglang.org/documentation/0.12.0/ that is a reasonably comprehensive source of truth about the current state of the language.

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.
