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.

Julia fractal, with a table to do integer multiply! (2.a.b = (a+b)^2 - a^2 - b^2, so just precompute all x^2 in a table! )

Another World Ported to FPGA
For anyone confused by the HDL, it's the authors custom language: https://github.com/sylefeb/Silice/tree/master
It provides a compiler to Verilog that then can be fed to traditional design flows.

How to contribute to open source?
I'm an intern at a french IT lab and my boss is working on an open-source FPGA language, you might want to check it out https://github.com/sylefeb/Silice .
