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.

Any news on the Classfile API?
If you want an alternative to ASM, try Cojen/Maker, which is designed to be much easier to use than any of the other class writing APIs, including the one proposed by JEP-8280389. Here's a comparison.

Jdk.Classfile Javadoc (in-development)
That's a lot right arrow operators just to implement a simple Hello World program (5). I can't even begin to imagine how difficult it might be to generate anything more interesting than this. Here's a comparison against a classfile API which is designed to be easy to use: https://github.com/cojen/Maker/wiki/JEP-8280389

Show HN: I spent my vacation writing a modern JVM assembler
For the code generation phase, it might be easier to bypass emitting a text-based assembly format and just use the ASM library directly. If you want something easier, I wrote a code generation library specifically for that purpose: https://github.com/cojen/Maker It also includes an example "Mini-C" language compiler.

Show HN: I spent my vacation writing a modern JVM assembler
Nice project! At Guardsquare, we have a similar project: https://github.com/Guardsquare/proguard-assembler
One of the things we use it for is testing: we can craft specific bytecode sequences that we want to test; for example, it's useful to test cases we've seen in the wild (e.g. obfuscated code) or to create a test that doesn't rely on a specific compiler/version.
An example of using the assembler from a ProGuard unit test https://github.com/Guardsquare/proguard/blob/master/base/src...
