## Useful for

- Build the EDG front end from source and use it to parse C/C++ code
- Generate C code from a C++ program via the C-generating back end
- Use the prelinker to handle automatic template instantiation

## Why it’s here

- 0 stars so far today, about 183 expected by the end of the day.
- The spike has held for 2 days in a row — not a one-off blip.
- The repository is 9 days old and already has 220 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Hacker News: “EDG C++ Compiler is open source” — 25 points, 3 h ago.
- Recent forks include notable developers: @gmh5225 (1,277 followers), @mbrukman (391 followers).

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 15
- Issues and pull requests: 93
- Watchers: 5
- Average over the last week: 58 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
