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.

How do you deal with C's lack of true generics / templates?
Now for that disgusting pile of steaming hot spaghetti, the implementation itself. Basically the macros used are defined across a number of headers: Hacks.h (not everything is relevant here, mostly the stuff to do with counting, retrieving last arg, maps, etc.), Generics.h, Generic.h (this will probably be renamed to Generic1.h as it’s only used for single parameter templates generics), and finally Template.h which is where most of the heavy lifting is being done. So yeh, it’s disgusting but it works... but it’s disgusting. So please please please no one think about using it, it will without a doubt make your life miserable (and it will make my life miserable if I have to support this) as it’s almost a guarantee that there’ll be use cases that haven’t been handled and most likely has tons of bugs hiding in that mess.

Macro to automatically unlock a mutex in a block (ansi c)
This technique is often used to implement RAII in C. See example in Standard Template Containers. The library delivers STL-like functionality to C.
-
Is using void* considered "evil" in C just as it is in C++?
I'd say it's evil, but quite understandable very commonly used because there are no built-in alternatives in C. I basically never use void* in user-code, simply because there are no need for it when using a templating technique, like in my STC library. Even in the implementation of STC itself, void* is hardly used, if at all.

[Noob Question] How do C programmers get around not having hash maps?

Should I use templates or stick with rewriting code?
This is more or less how C-ish templates are implemented in STC library.

What’s the right hash table API?
As the author of a STL-like templated C container library, I had many of the exact same thoughts when implementing the unordered map. In fact, I also changed to many of the suggestions here, rather than consistently following the C++ umap API. E.g.

What's the fastest high level language?
Sure it is. C misses a proper efficient generic standard/container library, like my https://github.com/stclib/STC, but that is irrelevant.

So what's the best data structures and algorithms library for C?
Some data structure and algorithm library in C enable the (optional) separation between the interface of the container (which is expanded in your header) and its implementation (which is expanded in your source), like STC.
What are some alternatives?
stent - Completely avoid dangling pointers in C.
ctl - The C Template Library
mlib - Library of generic and type safe containers in pure C language (C99 or C11) for a wide collection of container (comparable to the C++ STL).
Klib - A standalone and lightweight C library
ctl - My variant of the C Template Library
unordered_dense - A fast & densely stored hashmap and hashset based on robin-hood backward shift deletion
ccan - The C Code Archive Network
sgc - Generic Algorithms and Data Structures in C
Containers - This library provides various containers. Each container has utility functions to manipulate the data it holds. This is an abstraction as to not have to manually manage and reallocate memory.
