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.

Chalet: A cross-platform project format & build tool for C/C++
I agree in case of cmake, but not in case of e.g. meson (or all other build systems the specification files of which are not scripts). But we also have to keep in mind that JSON is just the basic syntax, but the interesting stuff is built on top; it's like XML, which - as we know - can quickly become human unreadable and complex; JSON has simpler constructs than XML of course, but what you do with JSON is even though subject to specific usability assessment; a specification language is not automatically more usable because it is based on JSON. And also the other contemporary build systems abstract e.g. compiler differences away. I would compare your approach to e.g. Qbs or https://github.com/SanderMertens/bake.
