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.

SolveSpace – parametric 2d/3D CAD
Even bigger problem is that it's riddled with hardcoded paths, redundant copies of files, disregarding recommended usage notes of its 3rd party libraries.. basically it contains every DevOps related anti-pattern you can think of.
There seems to be just one maintainer dealing with build related things and he is of a very different opinion what is anti-pattern or just don't want absolutely anybody to touch his code into which he poured his hours.

OpenSCAD Survey - what programming language do you want to be added to app?
Go: https://github.com/deadsy/sdfx
- Better OpenSCAD?

cadCAD alternative for Go?
Object Oriented Programming is a way to go to create CAD tool for school project, not golang (too hard for school task). If you really must, this was I want to try in one of my projects: https://github.com/deadsy/sdfx

3D Printed fightstick
Designed all of these parts* using Deadsy/SDFX, it was certainly interesting and I enjoyed working with it, getting visual artifacts off my model and keeping file sizes down is a bit tedious though.

SolveSpace – parametric 2d/3D CAD
I wrote this (in golang) to satisfy my need to generate STLs for 3d printing.
https://github.com/deadsy/sdfx
In general I like to write code to define objects, but there are some situations where a graphical editing UI would be nice. ie- Curve and polygon design.
You can sort of imagine a hybrid approach where you could crack open a mini editor to design a curve and then use it to generate code (table of numbers) which you could then extrude/sweep/loft or whatever.

Curated Code CAD
Nice to see sdfx [1] there, this project is impressive.
deadsy built some rather sophisticated models, be sure to check out the renderings in the github README!
