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.

The OpenD Programming Language (fork of D)
The reference compiler, DMD, is open source: https://github.com/dlang/dmd
But they don't accept just any Pull Request or features the community submits, understandably. There's a process called DIP for language improvements: https://github.com/dlang/DIPs/blob/master/DIPs/README.md
However, by some accounts, it's really hard to get anything through.
Given D already has so many feature, I find that to be a good thing , to be honest, by not everyone agrees, of course.

Mojo 🔥: A programming language for all AI developers
Borrow checking does not require lifetime annotations. D is a precedent there. Look at DIP25 and DIP1000.

Carbon Language: An experimental successor to C++
There's no "nogc" containers in phobos, or allocators, or an idiomatic way to do safe manual memory management. It expects you to do it the C way. It's also impossible to implement some things because of how D does moving. There's a DIP in the works to change how moving works, but it's overly complicated and bound to introduce even more bugs. https://github.com/dlang/DIPs/blob/master/DIPs/DIP1040.md

Is there any other programming language aside from C++ that has move semantics feature available?
D Is drafting up move semantics to interface better with C++. Although they're going a bit the Rust way in the current proposal. D has tried a couple of other strategies, but unique pointers and C++ interoperability kind of forced the hand of Walter Bright.

Cpp2 and cppfront – An experimental 'C++ syntax 2' and its first compiler
The roadmap for Carbon [0] mentions wanting to have basic, non-trivial programs written in Carbon by the end of 2024. They're aiming for a v0.1 release in 2025. If it gains traction, they're aiming for a v1.0 beyond 2027.
I don't think anyone outside Google will seriously adopt this before it reaches v1.0. Even within Google, they may choose other options.

Odin Programming Language
Carbon was started by Chandler Carruth, at Google, but they wanted to move it to broader governance quickly. It's not under the Google GitHub today, but its own org.
