The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
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.

Is it possible to use method attributes to select which overload to run based on a configuration setting?
The only way to have a single binary that switches what method it calls at runtime without a performance overhead is by editing IL at runtime, which is possible (see projects like MonoMod) but quite hacky and overkill.

Celeste's Software
You mean Everest? I think it was/is Ahorn (the old map editor) which uses Julia? Or I might be wrong and Olympus (the launcher) also uses it. Everest itself has to integrate directly into Celeste and therefore uses C#. Either way, Everest uses MonoMod for the bulk of its modding capabilities.

Why use { get; set; } at all?
Probably a little out of your scope but the library Harmony you can write patches (detours) on methods. Using get/set instead of a field would allow you to override the property's method. Let's say you wanted to write something to always have the name uppercase. You could patch the constructor and set this.name = this.name.ToUpper() but that field is publicly assignable so you can't really enforce that. On the other hand with a property you can override the set method to say this._name = value.ToUpper().

Python's "Disappointing" Superpowers
It's kind of a subtle distinction that I think was lost between the posted article and the original article it was responding to, but I don't think the kinds of reflection capabilities that Roslyn provides is what the author intended. The specific example given in the referenced article for "Higher-order programs" specifically refers to the ability to replace function implementations at runtime without interrupting the program, and specifically calls out hot-code reloading (such as what Java provides) as a deficient form of similar functionality. This is closer to the type of functionality libraries like Harmony provide, but even that solution requires including the library and instrumenting your code ahead of time.

Replace class method from DLL with my own
I'd recommend looking into Harmomy and seeing if you're able to use it. It makes modifying DLLs pretty convenient.
