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.

Yeah. I am very bullish on Kotlin. Think it's probably the most exciting language evolving right now.
I went on a few-tweet minirant here about why:
https://twitter.com/GavinRayDev/status/1443279425311805440
But the tl;dr is that:
- There is Jetpack Compose currently, for Desktop, Web, and Android
- And Kotlin Native putting a large portion of resources into Skia bindings (JetBrains calls the lib "Skiko" for Kotlin Native https://github.com/JetBrains/skiko and "Skija")
It's very clear (and there are some employees which have confirmed this IIRC) that they are working on "Jetpack Compose Everywhere" that runs on iOS as well, from a single codebase.
There's the big Kotlin event going on right now, where they just announced the new WASM backend and changes in their compiler + IR commonizing/restructuring ("K2").

- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pqz9sKXatw
The net result is that you wind up with a single language that you can use to write your backend API, your UI code (Jetpack Compose app deployed across Web/Android/iOS/Mac/Win/Linux, or transpile to JS/TS if you just want a web app, etc) and with Kotlin Native even your native, low-level code to integrate with existing C/C++ etc ecosystem.
KN already does automatic bindgen for C and Swift headers, they have direct C++ interop (like Swift does) on their future roadmap as a potential "todo".
All of this is mostly possible already -- I can do the same thing using IE Java, GraalVM, and a transpiler like Google's j2cl or bck2brwser (which is what Gluon uses for JavaFX on the web). Including the "native" part.
IE, here's a contribution I made to get GraalVM producing native binaries using Skia from the JVM + JNI Jetbrains Skia library:

But Kotlin is pushing the hardest to make this whole platform/stack from native <-> desktop <-> mobile <-> browser a seamless, unified experience. And you can feel it, when you try to do the "whole stack, every platform, one language" thing.
Sorry for the rant and wall of text!

Gio UI is an immediate-mode UI, and immediate-mode UIs map very nicely to Rust. egui is quite easy to use. https://www.egui.rs/

net/http extension to exchange structs
I've been writing a WASM app using gio & I found myself wanting for a simplified web library. In addition I drew some inspiration from leptos server functions. A friend of mine mentioned it has some similarities with next.js

Are there any popular computer applications written in Golang?
Historically, C++. Today, (unfortunately) a lot of (non-game) desktop apps are written in HTML/CSS/JS using Electron. There are projects like Fyne and GIO that aim to make Go a viable language for building large-scale performant desktop apps. My open-source hobby project Supersonic is a music player app built using Fyne.

It’s actually extremely easy, if you use one of the actively developed options like https://fyne.io or https://gioui.org for example. Flutter’s Dart may help with real-time hacking of UI but Go produces better code in the long run!
