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.

Is there a way to create a command line menu in Fortran?
is not powerful enough, FLAP is one (not the only, see some compiled in fortranwiki) equivalent to argparse (in Python) for Fortran. You then enter a workflow to compile modules, later the main program, and eventually join the object files into an executable. Manually for example with gfortran as compiler, this is in line of

Joe's Live Coding Sessions - GPU Programming in Fortran : Verifying Spectral Accuracy in the Advection-Diffusion Solvers
We'll be building out more of the command line interface using the Fortran command Line Argument Parser for poor people (FLAP; https://github.com/szaghi/FLAP) to add triggers for executing convergence tests. In the process, we'll also be doing some tecplot output visualization with Paraview

Eighty Years of the Finite Element Method: Birth, Evolution, and Future (2022)
For anyone interested in a contemporary implementation, SELF is a spectral element library in object-oriented fortran [1]. The devs here at Fluid Numerics have upcoming benchmarks on our MI300A system and other cool hardware.

[RANT] I really, really wish working with compiled languages is as easy as working with Python.
Could you go into more detail? If you're referring to https://github.com/FluidNumerics/SELF, I've just taken a look and it does seem like their documentation on how to build is lacking. Usually if that's the case, you can dig for whatever their CI configuration is and manually follow those steps, but it's not clear here: they have a mechanism to build Singularity containers (ci/run_tests) but everything else in ci seems unrelated. Their CONTRIBUTING.md is out of date and incomplete, and as you've already seen their build system (Makefile, install.sh, test.sh) is a total mess. Pretty much all modern scientific codes are using at least CMake now. (It's either that or hacked-up and hardcoded recursive make, rather than autoconf.)

[February] Programming languages for CFD
I'm definitely a fan of Fortran for writing CFD and numerical PDE solvers (https://github.com/FluidNumerics/SELF) in general. Fortran was my first programming language, and I'm not a "geezer geek" (I'm 30 years old). While I also program in C and C++ on some projects, Fortran is my go-to. As others have already mentioned, the array syntax in Fortran is fantastic. It really helps to be able to work out algorithms on paper and translate cleanly into multi-dimensional arrays.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing FLAP and SELF you can also consider the following projects:
http-client - http-client offers a user-friendly, high-level API to make HTTP requests in Fortran.
stdlib - Fortran Standard Library
json-fortran - A Modern Fortran JSON API
shenfun - High performance computational platform in Python for the spectral Galerkin method
rcc-run - Continuous Integration and Continuous Benchmarking tools for Research Computing applications
focal - A modern Fortran abstraction layer for OpenCL
