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.

Auto updater options for server?
It's not a website, it's a project.
-
WinForms Application Updater
You could also maybe check out AutoUpdater.NET as another possibility.
-
updating a WinForms application in runtime.
Aa others mentioned, it just more common to have an auto-updater mechanism built-in in your app. Check out AutoUpdater.NET which periodically check the server for new versions, download it in background and allow you to present a "update ready" button to the user that quickly restart the app to the new version when they are ready to apply it. A bit like the Chrome or Discord update ready buttons.

Libation 6.4 -- Custom file naming
Good catch. Hmm, looks like Squirrel might be a no go. Oh well. My examples were not heavily researched. Just something to point in a starter direction. At a glance this looks promising too: https://github.com/ravibpatel/AutoUpdater.NET

Can I use Steamworks even during early development?
Libraries like https://github.com/ravibpatel/AutoUpdater.NET, and plenty of others. This may not fit your needs, but maybe it does.

update WPF application automatically from Github Releases
But it AutoUpdater.NET(https://github.com/ravibpatel/AutoUpdater.NET) does quite the same. It only looks at your own server instead of github. You should be able to get an idea of how it works and how to implement it using github instead.

I created a small library to compare published .NET Core directories!
I have a few desktop apps that uses AutoUpdater.NET to update the app on startup, as well as one app that's linked to a mapped drive. Since both apps are self-contained, it's always been a pain to update them - you either have to copy the entire 150 MB publish directory to your update location, or you have to pick and choose which binaries were updated, which you'd then push into a ZIP folder.

Programmatically elevate a .NET application on any platform
[DllImport("libc")] private static extern uint geteuid(); public bool IsCurrentProcessElevated() { if (RuntimeInformation.IsOSPlatform(OSPlatform.Windows)) { // https://github.com/dotnet/sdk/blob/v6.0.100/src/Cli/dotnet/Installer/Windows/WindowsUtils.cs#L38 using var identity = WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent(); var principal = new WindowsPrincipal(identity); return principal.IsInRole(WindowsBuiltInRole.Administrator); } // https://github.com/dotnet/maintenance-packages/blob/62823150914410d43a3fd9de246d882f2a21d5ef/src/Common/tests/TestUtilities/System/PlatformDetection.Unix.cs#L58 // 0 is the ID of the root user return geteuid() == 0; }

Swift was always going to be part of the OS
> There's definitely things they tried to improve on that... weren't really improvements. The way "assemblies" are matched in .NET is much more sophisticated- the goal there was to try to kill DLL hell. It evolved into the Global Assembly Cache, which is sort of the Windows Registry of DLLs. Not a huge fan of those bits.
The Global Assembly Cache did not make the jump to the modern .NET (Core). There was the thing called `dotnet store`, but it’s broken since .NET 6: https://github.com/dotnet/sdk/issues/24752
The assembly redirection hell has also been greatly reduced there.

.NET Blazor
I do the same.
I have a small write-up here: https://chrlschn.dev/blog/2023/10/end-to-end-type-safety-wit...
You get end-to-end type safety (even better once you connect it to EF Core since you get it all ways to your DB).
With this setup with hot-reload (currently broken in .NET 8 [0]), productivity is really, really good. Like tRPC but with one of the most powerful ORMs out there right now.

LÖVE: a framework to make 2D games in Lua
That's a twisted and wrong narrative
Unity like refers to a Editor driven approach
Unity became popular with its moonscript language (javascript like), they then ditched it to focus on C#, but what propelled unity to what it is today is the Editor driven approach, not c#, not DOTS
They are forced to transpile C# to C++ via IL2CPP as a result to target consoles/mobiles
C# is a disease when it comes to console/mobile support
It's a substantial dependency, quite heavy
And you are not free of unity like fuck ups, it's a microsoft language after all:
https://github.com/dotnet/sdk/issues/22247
And let's not forget when they changed the license of their debugger overnight to prevent people from using it in their products (jetbrains for example)
And them deprecating open source tooling to a proprietary/closed one for vscode (c# devkit)
Let's be careful when we recommend evil as an alternative to evil ;)

How to run multiple programs like python3 filename.py???
The script can be found at the end of the thread here https://github.com/dotnet/sdk/issues/8742
-
Writing Python like it's Rust
Another difference you might be surprised by is that the .NET tooling by default collects various data from your system and sends it to Microsoft [1]. If you want to avoid this (and still want to use .NET) you'll have to make sure that the environment variable DOTNET_CLI_TELEMETRY_OPTOUT is set in all contexts before touching anything.
