The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
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.

Compiler career advice?
Implement a compiler for a subset of C. This doesn't need to be self-hosting, but bonus points if it is. Here's an example of what it can look like: https://github.com/rui314/8cc

NCC, a new ANSI/ISO C compiler
While this is an impressive work, I feel that there are a lot of "tiny" C compilers out there; how is yours any different than SmallerC, TinyC, 8cc, chibicc and many others?

lambda-8cc: An x86 C compiler written in untyped lambda calculus
I have been working with the calculus of continuations, mostly formalizing its metatheory (my results so far are on GitHub). It is a calculus that relates to compiler IRs in the same way that the lambda calculus relates to functional languages. I have not yet released my interpreter (I'm currently working on it!), and I hope to finish my paper for next POPL. But I'll be sure to send you an e-mail once I am able to test the CPS translated compiler. Also, please DM me if you'd like to see some early research notes on that.
