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.

Valve Says Counter-Strike 2 for macOS Not Happening, There Aren't Enough Players
https://github.com/KhronosGroup/MoltenVK
Translating between rendering APIs is not really the problem. The GPU design is more different than the API is.

Meta Releases Intermediate Graphics Library
Khronos maintains MoltenVk though, which is "official" as it gets: https://github.com/KhronosGroup/MoltenVK
...technically, Vulkan on Windows is also only supported via 3rd-parties (the GPU vendors), Microsoft doesn't support Vulkan either ;)

I love the ally, but fuck Windows
MoltenVK implements large parts of Vulkan on top of Metal for Apple systems. It isn't full Vulkan but it makes porting Vulkan games to OS X easier.
- Apple releases a Game Porting Tool, based on open-source platform Wine, which can translate DirectX 12 into Metal 3, a potentially massive step for Mac gaming
- Apple’s Game Porting Toolkit is Wine

CrossOver announces DirectX 12 support coming to macOS this summer
That's cool. Maybe I haven't thought enough about this. Let me check it out. FWIW it's this PR that you are referring to I think: https://github.com/KhronosGroup/MoltenVK/pull/1815/

Apple Begins Testing Speedy M3 Chips as It Pursues Mac Comeback
For Metal specifically, they could adopt and contribute to Vulkan and get access to a lot more software. Right now you need to use a compatibility layer, and surely Apple could just support both APIs natively with much lower overhead. But they don't, because it nudges developers to stick to the Apple ecosystem instead of being able to support multiple platforms.

What do we miss to play DirectX 12 Games on Mac?
At the moment the most promising thing is MoltenVK (DX12 -> DXVK -> Vulkan -> MoltenVK -> Metal), but the development is not that quick mainly because there aren't tons of developer that works at the same time on the project. It's not actually a Metal related problem at the moment (they have a road map of things that they can be achieved with Metal 3 like Mesh shader and Geometry shader).

Is there a good reason to not allow vulkan on macos as another option?
What you asked is already existed for at least 8 years. Yeah EIGHT years. It's called "MoltenVK". So far it's the only implementation of Vulkan for macOS. Basically it's a wrapper that runs on top of Metal API.
