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
But it's in C. I would guess compiler is executed via elvm somehow: https://github.com/woodrush/elvm/tree/7123cf22a60641fbba31095cfac3bb72bac735c4
What are some alternatives?
When comparing 8cc and elvm you can also consider the following projects:
chibicc - A small C compiler
gameboy-brainfuck - Implementation of a brainfuck interpreter written for the Game Boy.
SmallerC - Simple C compiler
