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.

Mark Russinovich: “Working towards enabling Windows driver development in Rust”
Here's an example [1] of a device driver in C#. It is possible. It is also not recommended.

Can anyone tell me what c# can do that other languages can't, or what c# does better than other languages?
You can create device drivers in C#, here's an example. Not familiar with creating COFF dll-s myself but I imagine that'd also be possible with some tweaking. It might not be supported right out of the box, sure.

Writing a kernel in C# on Linux
https://github.com/VollRagm/KernelSharp Based on ZeroKernel, so again driver only.

Mark Russinovich: “Working towards enabling Windows driver development in Rust”
> Rust type system doesn't help when the data resides in a shared memory segment accessed by multiple processes.
This isn't quite true. You can provide a safe abstraction that involves cross-process locking APIs. https://github.com/elast0ny/shared_memory/blob/HEAD/examples... is an example using a mutex guard.
Rust's type system helps more in some cases than others but you can get at least some help from it almost all of the time.
