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.

HCL: Toolkit for Structured Configuration Languages
https://github.com/apple/pkl-go/blob/v0.6.0/.circleci/config... seems to imply it's "curl && chmod" so maybe you're thinking of developing pkl itself?
I happened to have a container that I am certain contains no Java and it fired right up
$ docker run -it --rm --entrypoint=/usr/bin/env public.ecr.aws/aws-cli/aws-cli:2.15.38 bash -c 'curl -fsSLO https://github.com/apple/pkl/releases/download/0.25.3/pkl-linux-aarch64; chmod a+x pkl-linux-aarch64; ./pkl-linux-aarch64 --help'

Apple Pkl
Very cool!
You might want to consider also publishing a schema for it too, as a Pkl package. The package can simply be published as a GitHub release (see details in this post here: https://github.com/apple/pkl/discussions/85#discussioncommen...)
- Pkl – opens source configuration language from Apple
- Pkl – A configuration as code language with rich validation and tooling
- Apple/pkl: A configuration as code language with rich validation

Pkl, a Programming Language for Configuration
At some point, we'll publish more documentation about this, including instructions for how to build your own language binding.
And, it's only a sub-process right now, but we plan on also providing a C library as another way to bind to Pkl.
But if you want to learn more about how this works, feel free to connect with us on GitHub! https://github.com/apple/pkl/discussions

Pkl, a Programming Language for Configuration
> So what we are missing now is a 500GB framework that can write the config file for the programming language that is writing a config file for the actual program I wish to use.
That exists since 1960. It's called LISP. The e.g. https://guix.gnu.org/ uses with great success, the Guile Scheme dialect of LISP, to be precise. And FYI the "framework" is:
$ ls --human-readable --size $(readlink $(which guile))

NixOS: Declarative Builds and Deployments
> inventing a brand new purely functional language programming language.
ISTM that if you dislike that, then there's GUIX.
https://guix.gnu.org/
Very briefly, AFAICT, it's "Nix but using Scheme".

Linux saved my life
And just wait till you discover Arch Linux, Gentoo, Guix, or NixOS.

The nicest web browser of 2023 uses Lisp.
https://guix.gnu.org for example. It did load before an update but it doesn't anymore.

Java community welcomes kotlin, c/c++ community welcome rust and go and Javascript community welcomes typscript except emacs community who still refuse to welcome gnu guile.
Is it? Seems to me it's used for some pretty cool stuff, heard of Guix?

Lua: The Little Language That Could
I think a "competitor" to Lua would be Guile [1], but I am not sure if it gets close to Lua in terms of lightweightness... it was designed to be used in the GNU project, with similar objects as Lua: to be light, easily embeddable. It's a Scheme (Lisp) so maybe not for everyone's taste... its "coolest" use i know of is for configuring Guix [2] (the GNU version of Nix).

What are some of the more innovative linux distributions?
GNU Guix! A fully functional package manager and distro heavily inspire by Nix. The primary difference between it and Nix being that it is almost entirely written and configured in GNU Guile, an implementation of Scheme (Lisp) and the official extension language of the GNU Project (originally intended to be for GNU what emacs lisp is for emacs).
-
Rust Offline?
You should perhaps utilize guix for your projects. It provides rather acceptable rust resp. crates support and in a perfectly reproducible build environment. But be aware, that it even tries to build even the rust compiler from source by going through all this nasty steps of its iterative bootstrap process. This can be a little bit complex and time-consuming, if you need an up-to-date version of rustc.
What are some alternatives?
hcl - HCL is the HashiCorp configuration language.
nix - Nix, the purely functional package manager
dhall-lang - Maintainable configuration files
t2sde - T2 SDE Linux
jsonnet - Jsonnet - The data templating language
live-bootstrap - Use of a Linux initramfs to fully automate the bootstrapping process
ungoogled-chromium - Google Chromium, sans integration with Google
steam-runtime - A runtime environment for Steam applications
ublue - A familiar(ish) Ubuntu desktop for Fedora Silverblue.
flatpak - Linux application sandboxing and distribution framework

is-odd - I created this in 2014, the year I learned how to program. All of the downloads are from an old version of https://github.com/micromatch/micromatch. I've done a few other things since: https://github.com/jonschlinkert.
