The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
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.

AskScience AMA Series: We are Cosmologists, Experts on the Cosmic Microwave Background, The Cosmic Web, Dark Matter, Dark Energy and much more! Ask Us Anything!
Lately there has been a strong push to move towards Julia and Jax so I guess I will have some homework to do. Since you already have a good programming background -- maybe check this GH repo I have. It basically lists a lot of open source code (with tons of example notebooks) used in cosmology, high energy physics and astronomy https://github.com/nikosarcevic/HEP-ASTRO-COSMO/blob/main/README.md

New resource: HEP-ASTRO-COSMO github repo to list public codes/tools used in these fields
Strictly as an observer based on what I see in the public github and twitter conversations, this new effort was started based on an idea by Gianfranco Bertone to have a GitHub repo managed directly the community (he mentioned that this is one in other fields), adding new qualifying items by merging pull requests. It's stated that this is for open-source codes/tools in HEP/Astro/Cosmo. They are just getting started and a number of conversations on the scope can be seen in the Issues section of the repo. They've been having discussions with ASCL (Peter Teuben) about how the two efforts relate; e.g., see the Collaboration with existing repositories issue thread. So the direction this new effort goes in is in formation.

New resource: HEP-ASTRO-COSMO github repo to list public codes/tools used in these fields
ASCL is of course a quite mature resource that was founded over 20 years ago, currently having 2454 entries, which are citable. They even have an API. My own impression is that this new github repo has (at least initially) more of an HEP emphasis than does ASCL (several HEP-related entries that I see in the repo are not in ASCL). ASCL mentioned that they have a "requirement that software be used in refereed research or in research submitted for refereeing, we generally look for software in articles rather than at specific projects...We don't have an editor to explicitly cover journals such as JCAP and JHEP so miss codes that straddle that space."

What are some alternatives?
When comparing HEP-ASTRO-COSMO and ascl-tools you can also consider the following projects:
PyAutoLens - PyAutoLens: Open Source Strong Gravitational Lensing
SWIFT - Modern astrophysics and cosmology particle-based code. Mirror of gitlab developments at https://gitlab.cosma.dur.ac.uk/swift/swiftsim
HEP - HEP-EEP: Extensible Encapsulation Protocol (Specs & Technical Docs)
