Simple Plain Text MySQL Modeling Language - "Like Sass for SQL Modeling"

The goal is to allow you to quickly mock up SQL Tables in an easy to read, familiar feeling syntax.

As a very simple example example the following:

```
# user
! user_id  int *pk
- username varchar40 k1
- password varchar

# user_profile
- user_profile_id int *pk
? user_id int k1
- name_first varchar
- name_last  varchar

```

Translates to:

```
CREATE TABLE `user` (
	`user_id` int unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
	`username` varchar(40) NOT NULL,
	`password` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
	PRIMARY KEY (`user_id`),
	KEY `idx_username_k1` (`username`)
);

CREATE TABLE `user_profile` (
	`user_profile_id` int unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
	`user_id` int unsigned NOT NULL,
	`name_first` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
	`name_last` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
	PRIMARY KEY (`user_profile_id`),
	KEY `idx_user_id_k1` (`user_id`),
	FOREIGN KEY (`user_id`) REFERENCES `user`(`user_id`)
);
```

How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio. Uses a 2-year decay window.

**Popularity (30%)** — Total and monthly downloads, GitHub stars, and forks. Logarithmic scaling prevents top-heavy scores.

**Community (15%)** — Contributors, dependents, forks, watchers, and maintainers. Measures real ecosystem engagement.

**Maturity (30%)** — Project age, version count, PHP version support, and release stability.
