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.

Nim
- `nim secret`[0]: code is interpreted with Nim's vm, it is limited to compile-time (e.g. no C/C++).
- `nlvm r`[1]: nlvm backend supports JIT compilation and repl-like interface was added in latest release.
- `inim`[2]: supports all nim code, but it's not really a true repl. It adds code to a file and recompiles it (you can see the source file with `ctrl+x`). I'd recommend to use it with clang compiler, because it's a bit faster than gcc in my experience. It's the best option right now. And I use it almost daily.
First two options have rudimentary input system. But you can get command history and left-right navigation by wrapping them with rlwrap (should be preinstalled on most *nixes): `rlwrap nim secret`, `rlwrap nlvm r`.
There are plans to support incremental compilation for the next Nim release (it is currently broken). That would improve inim and other repls experience significantly.

Writing a presentation to introduce rustlang to my dev team, and I've got to the "downsides" part.
Go must be terrible to google too! Nim's easy to google though, it's how I got to rust really. I'm actually the maintainer of inim, the nim repl: https://github.com/inim-repl/INim

NIR: Nim Intermediate Representation
There has been a more-or-less working CPS implementation for Nim for a few years now,
https://github.com/nim-works/cps
https://github.com/nim-works/cps/tree/master/docs
Nobody seems to care though, as it has gained no traction at all and it has been mostly ignored by the core team.

Nim v2.0 Released
Ones that have not been mentioned so far:
nlvm is an unofficial LLVM backend: https://github.com/arnetheduck/nlvm
npeg lets you write PEGs inline in almost normal PEG notation: https://github.com/zevv/npeg
futhark provides for much more automatic C interop: https://github.com/PMunch/futhark
nimpy allows calling Python code from Nim and vice versa: https://github.com/yglukhov/nimpy
questionable provides a lot of syntax sugar surrounding Option/Result types: https://github.com/codex-storage/questionable
ratel is a framework for embedded programming: https://github.com/PMunch/ratel
cps allows arbitrary procedure rewriting to continuation passing style: https://github.com/nim-works/cps
chronos is an alternative async/await backend: https://github.com/status-im/nim-chronos
zero-functional fixes some inefficiencies when chaining list operations: https://github.com/zero-functional/zero-functional
owlkettle is a declarative macro-oriented library for GTK: https://github.com/can-lehmann/owlkettle

Nim Version 1.6 Released
* Goroutines are probably a lot more easier to use. Work is being done to make Nim even better in that area: https://github.com/nim-works/cps but don't expect it soonish.
* I feel like Go has less 'edge cases', but the Nim compiler is steadily getting more stable, especially consider it's not backed up by a major company!
* Metaprogramming is really powerful, but not beginner friendly. The documentation says use macros when necessary, but personally I don't think that really happens in practice.
The advantages by far outweigh the disadvantages, especially if you are looking for a clean Go alternative(except maaaaaaybeee web application).
