# makepad/relax

> Experimental live compiler and JIT runtime for Rust: runs a Cargo package straight from source without rustc, LLVM or a linker, compiling functions on first call and patching edits into the running process.

## Useful for

- Run a Rust program from source without building to reach the first frame faster
- Edit a function in a running process and keep state without restarting
- Re-run tests on save and profile hot functions

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-11-14 (UTC), 00:03–11:13: 478 → 521 stars (+43). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +121 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 3 days old and already has 521 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #19.
- About 10 forks a day — people are taking the code.
- Recent forks include notable developers: @fcoury (250 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: 27
- Issues and pull requests: 210
- Watchers: 1
- Average over the last week: 159 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 2

## Stars per day, last 4 days (oldest → newest, today is partial)

2026-11-11 … 2026-11-14: 153, 161, 202, 43

## Magnitude by day, last 3 days

11-12 5.9, 11-13 6.2, 11-14 5.5

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.
