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.

Mark Russinovich: “Working towards enabling Windows driver development in Rust”
I didn't realise that. Then again, I only experimented with AOT executables quite briefly. Perhaps Cosmos[1] stuck in my head more than what I read about AOT dotnet applications.

Sweet C#
there are entire toolkits for that! https://github.com/cosmosos/cosmos
- Making an OS with C#?
- XenOS, an OS made in C#!
-
Does Microsoft ever try to written the whole windows OS codebase in entirely in C# in future?
This is about the same time that Cosmos came about - they’ve got they own ASM-like flavour of C# called X# and IL2CPU
- Slow Frame Rate under Cosmos
- Writing a kernel in C# on Linux
- Alternatives to COSMOS?

Is C# a good programming language for kernel development?
I recommend you to take a look at the Cosmos project. It's an operating system construction kit integrated to Visual Studio using it's own compiler translating IL code (C#, VB.NET, F#...) to x86 assembly.

Found this on a command-line only OS.
From these lines of code one would assume so, but apparently Cosmos seems to be quiet more serious than just a simple shell.

What's left for me to learn in C
You can do everything in C in C#. Including raw pointers. It's not commonly done, but the functionality is all there. The hardest part is getting it all compiled, ahead-of-time, down to machine code. But lots of people online have done that before so it's effectively a solved problem.

Is C# a good programming language for kernel development?
C# can be used, but it would be much more complicated to get working fully as some features you would be used to in user land C# would require manual implementations. If you still want to you can check out FlingOS (https://github.com/FlingOS/FlingOS)
