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.

AskScience AMA Series: We are Cosmologists, Experts on the Cosmic Microwave Background, The Cosmic Web, Dark Matter, Dark Energy and much more! Ask Us Anything!
Lately there has been a strong push to move towards Julia and Jax so I guess I will have some homework to do. Since you already have a good programming background -- maybe check this GH repo I have. It basically lists a lot of open source code (with tons of example notebooks) used in cosmology, high energy physics and astronomy https://github.com/nikosarcevic/HEP-ASTRO-COSMO/blob/main/README.md

New resource: HEP-ASTRO-COSMO github repo to list public codes/tools used in these fields
Strictly as an observer based on what I see in the public github and twitter conversations, this new effort was started based on an idea by Gianfranco Bertone to have a GitHub repo managed directly the community (he mentioned that this is one in other fields), adding new qualifying items by merging pull requests. It's stated that this is for open-source codes/tools in HEP/Astro/Cosmo. They are just getting started and a number of conversations on the scope can be seen in the Issues section of the repo. They've been having discussions with ASCL (Peter Teuben) about how the two efforts relate; e.g., see the Collaboration with existing repositories issue thread. So the direction this new effort goes in is in formation.
