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.

Show HN: Beast – The Build System
Hi! You are right in saying that Beast is "conceptually" similar to Make (and Ninja). But it is much faster and much more user-friendly than Make.
Second, you are listing tools like cmake and meson. Note that these are NOT build systems but they are META BUILD SYSTEMS. Meta build systems are tools that don't really build your project themselves... instead they rely on tools like Make, Ninja and Beast to build it for you. You must have seen that Cmake emits a Makefile (or Ninja file depending upon your choice). So comparison in speed to meson will not be appropriate. (Let us just call them high level build tools)
About your third query... Well Beast is easy enough to compile. If you don't want to compile it, you can directly download the system binaries at https://github.com/GauravDawra/Beast/releases/tag/v1.1.0
I'm currently using Make to compile Beast because I originally compiled it using Make. It will soon move on to CMake. Please note that it is totally OK to use flex and bison. You don't even need them since I have already provided the cpp/h files generated by them on github!

Building a Wordle Clone with Lua! 🕹
If you're new to the 12 in 24 series, I'm learning and building projects with a new programming language every month - this month, it's the Lua scripting language. You can find source code for the projects I build in the official GitHub repository (check it out, this week's folder contains code for both this and two other bonus projects!).

Gearing up for Lua
This month, we're talking about Lua. It's not always a first choice when it comes to programming, but I think there's a lot to enjoy about this little language. Heck, I'm a big game development fan myself - I would look into it even if that was the only reason to.

How do you like code documentation inline in the source code vs. as separate guides, or how would you do it?
I think Lua is a good example of doing documentation well. The source code is commented only as much as needed, mainly with brief comments about things that might not be obvious and a small number of longer explanations of how the architecture works (mainly relevant to developers). It also has a super nice feature that's surprisingly rare: each file has a very short line at the top that describes what the file is, so you don't have to guess based on the filename alone. The API is documented in a single HTML file on the website that has both the high level descriptions of the language and architecture, as well as documentation for each public-facing function. The docs are maintained by hand, but the API is mostly stable, so the docs don't need to change very often.
