Comment on Show HN: Cicada – A scripting language that integrates with Cparent

Comments

That list (or any similar list) would be so helpful if it had a health column, something that takes into account number of contributors, time since last commit, number of forks, number of commits, etc. So many projects are effectively dead but it's not obvious at first sight, and it takes 2 or 3 whole minutes to figure out. That seems short but it adds up when evaluating a project, causing people to just go to a well known solution like Lua (and why not? Lua is just fine; in fact it's great).

Seconded.
