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.

Regular Expression COmpiler - Compile a regex ahead of time to code
It seems a little weird to me that they start out targeting JS, though. Look at one of the sample generated files -- it has a little comment at the top that has the tiny regex it was generated from. I'd be shocked if that's actually faster -- that's a lot for v8 to parse and optimize, and you're hoping it'll parse/optimize it into better code than it would parsing/optimizing a tiny regex?

Melody - A readable language that compiles to regular expressions, now with Babel and NodeJS support!
How do you think this compares to REXS? I personally think REXS is a bit more readable. They're both good though. The thing that would really interest me would be a reverse compiler and neither project has that. I'd like a language to explain complicated regexes to me.

Introducing REXS: A language for writing regular expressions
That's a pretty neat example, and REXS actually does have something like this. The main reason is that you end up with a lot of unnecessary things (like commas, lambdas, etc) everywhere that make things a bit disorganized and hard to read.
