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.

Experience using crow as web server
I'm investigating using C++ to build a REST server, and would love to know of people's experiences with Crow-- or whether they would recommend something else as a "medium-level" abstraction C++ web server. As background, I started off experimenting with Python/FastAPI, which is great, but there is too much friction to translate from pybind11-exported C++ objects to the format that FastAPI expects, and, of course, there are inherent performance limitations using Python, which could impact scaling up if the project were to be successful.

REST APIs using C++. (Is this even done much?)
How about Crow?

What library/framework to use for writing a Web server?
https://github.com/CrowCpp/Crow is super easy to use

Transport agnostic Websocket library
I recommend Crow, it's a web framework that supports HTTP and Websockets. It's a bit larger than being only there to just let you compose or decode a packet. But I'm pretty sure everything you mentioned is there already :)

What's next after learncpp.com?
It's also very useful to get to grips with using some popular libraries. Some might be ones that you'll find yourself using everywhere (e.g. fmt, spdlog, catch2), and some that have more specific usage, but are good to try out and explore what C++ can do in a ridiculously easy-to-use manner (e.g. crow, Dear ImGui). Make some toy projects that use some of these and you'll learn a lot.

Can I use C++ in the backend ?? Any frameworks there ??
I've been working on Crow for quite a while now, it's a pretty cool framework IMO.

Have there been any attempts to build a REST API service on top of either Boost.asio or Boost.beast?

C++ left arrow operator (2016)
Continuation passing monads form the basis of a perfectly valid and usable software architecture and programming pattern.
In the case of ostream and operator<<, this pattern reduces the number of intermediate objects that would otherwise be constructed.
If you object to iostream on religious or stylistic grounds, there's always fmt which is more like Go or Python string interpolation.[0]

Learn Modern C++
> This is from C++23, right?
std::println is, yes.
> I wonder how available this is within compilers
https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/compiler_support says clang, gcc, and msvc all support it, though I don't know how recent those versions are off the top of my head.
In my understanding, with this specific feature, if you want a polyfill for older compilers, or to use some more cutting-edge features that haven't been standardized yet, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt is available to you.

For processing strings, streams in C++ can be slow
{fmt} has internal buffering but it's not yet exposed to users. There is a feature request for it: https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2354. FILE buffering is not too bad but it can be easily optimized: https://www.zverovich.net/2020/08/04/optimal-file-buffer-siz....

adoption of fmt based logging
Automatic use of operator<< when that exists was present in fmt until version 9.0.0. In version 9 you could use FMT_DEPRECATED_OSTREAM to opt in the old behaviour, but this too was removed in version 10.0.0. Now there is no way to automatically use operator<<.

Additionally, if you like low level stuff, check out libfmt (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt) - not a big project, not difficult to understand. Or something like simdjson (https://github.com/simdjson/simdjson).
