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.

The Toit language is now open source
Nothing about the entire ecosystem I was talking about. But my initial work on the keyboard firmware can be found here: https://github.com/PMunch/badger/tree/final. There are many different projects in Nim running on microcontrollers though, but not something on a common ecosystem.

Nim Version 1.6 Released
Well no language is perfect, but Nim can be used in almost every domain because of it's compilation targets(C, C++, JS) and it's fast compile times(who needs interpretation when compile times are that fast!):
* Shell scripting, I still assume most people will just use Bash tho: https://github.com/Vindaar/shell
* Frontend: https://github.com/karaxnim/karax or you could bind to an existing JS library.
* Backend: For something Flask-like: https://github.com/dom96/jester or something with more defaults https://github.com/planety/prologue
* Scientific computing: the wonderful SciNim https://github.com/SciNim
* Blockchain: Status has some of the biggest Nim codebases currently in production https://github.com/status-im?q=&type=&language=nim&sort=
* Gamedev: Also used in production: https://github.com/pragmagic/godot-nim and due to easy C and C++ interop, you get access to a lot of gamedev libraries!
* Embedded: this is a domain I know very little about but for example https://github.com/elcritch/nesper or https://github.com/PMunch/badger for fun Nim+embedded stuff!
Most of the disadvantages come from tooling and lack of $$$ support.

Looking into Zig
I think the fact that Nim compiles to C is neat in that you can use it on any platform that has a C compiler.
Here is a recent project that uses nim for AVR platforms, for example: https://github.com/PMunch/badger

Crystal 1.9.1 Is Released
Agreed! There's a couple of fairly large projects in Nim: https://nimbus.team/ (https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2) or https://github.com/zedeus/nitter
Though there's still friction points I've been happy seeing the ecosystem grow lately. The compiler has seen a lot of bug fixes lately too which helps.

[1 Year Review] Status still hasn't released anything or gained any real market share in private messaging
In the same year their beacon chain client followed Bellatrix (Merge) and Capella upgrades without a hitch, which is in many ways more impressive than a messenger.

Daily Goerli: Was getting a lot of missed attestations with nimbus and after some back and forth with tersec, we confirmed that timeouts communicating with web3signer were the culprit. A fix should be merged soon.
