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.

UnitSystems.jl vs Unitful.jl
[UnitSystems.jl](https://github.com/chakravala/UnitSystems.jl) and Unitful.jl are both Julia packages that provide support for working with physical quantities and units of measurement. However, there are some differences between the two packages:
-
rounding in julia is incorrect
however, the correct solution would be for round to just work correctly instead of me writing extra methods for my packages https://geophysics.crucialflow.com/dev/units
- Similitude.jl is new more powerful Quantity than Unitful.jl
- Unitsystems.jl (complete reference for Physics Conversions)
-
GNU Units
Recently I created a library for unit conversion in Julia, which is the most complete tool for unit conversion I am currently aware of

Similitude.jl is new more powerful Quantity than Unitful.jl
Not sure why you think more units is more powerful. Defining specific units is seldom the difficult part of dealing with units in code. I'd say that just looking at the tests for Unitful (excluding the separate tests for dates) to the tests of Similitude that there seems to be a lot more functionality in Unitful. What are the advantages of these alternate packages? And I do not think focusing on "more powerful" is too useful unless qualified appropriately.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing UnitSystems.jl and Similitude.jl you can also consider the following projects:
gnu-units - GNU Units (mirror)
Unitful.jl - Physical quantities with arbitrary units
mp-units - The quantities and units library for C++
Ruby Units - A unit handling library for ruby
FunctionTabulations.jl - A package to create and load tabulations of functions. Supports Unitful.
unix-v6 - UNIX 6th Edition Kernel Source Code
mathics-core - An open-source Mathematica. This repository contains the Python modules for WL Built-in functions, variables, core primitives, e.g. Symbol, a parser to create Expressions, and an evaluator to execute them.
