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.

GNU Parallel, where have you been all my life?
On Unix, you might try Nim (https://nim-lang.org) with https://github.com/Vindaar/shell and there are a slew of pipeline-y/Unix-y utilities over at https://github.com/c-blake/bu
Nim is statically typed and (generally) native-compiled, but it has very low ceremony ergonomics and a powerful compile-time macro/template system as well as user-defined operators (e.g., you can use `+-` to make a constructor for uncertain values so that `9 +- 2` builds a typed object.

Nim Version 1.6 Released
Well no language is perfect, but Nim can be used in almost every domain because of it's compilation targets(C, C++, JS) and it's fast compile times(who needs interpretation when compile times are that fast!):
* Shell scripting, I still assume most people will just use Bash tho: https://github.com/Vindaar/shell
* Frontend: https://github.com/karaxnim/karax or you could bind to an existing JS library.
* Backend: For something Flask-like: https://github.com/dom96/jester or something with more defaults https://github.com/planety/prologue
* Scientific computing: the wonderful SciNim https://github.com/SciNim
* Blockchain: Status has some of the biggest Nim codebases currently in production https://github.com/status-im?q=&type=&language=nim&sort=
* Gamedev: Also used in production: https://github.com/pragmagic/godot-nim and due to easy C and C++ interop, you get access to a lot of gamedev libraries!
* Embedded: this is a domain I know very little about but for example https://github.com/elcritch/nesper or https://github.com/PMunch/badger for fun Nim+embedded stuff!
Most of the disadvantages come from tooling and lack of $$$ support.

NIR: Nim Intermediate Representation
There has been a more-or-less working CPS implementation for Nim for a few years now,
https://github.com/nim-works/cps
https://github.com/nim-works/cps/tree/master/docs
Nobody seems to care though, as it has gained no traction at all and it has been mostly ignored by the core team.

Nim v2.0 Released
Ones that have not been mentioned so far:
nlvm is an unofficial LLVM backend: https://github.com/arnetheduck/nlvm
npeg lets you write PEGs inline in almost normal PEG notation: https://github.com/zevv/npeg
futhark provides for much more automatic C interop: https://github.com/PMunch/futhark
nimpy allows calling Python code from Nim and vice versa: https://github.com/yglukhov/nimpy
questionable provides a lot of syntax sugar surrounding Option/Result types: https://github.com/codex-storage/questionable
ratel is a framework for embedded programming: https://github.com/PMunch/ratel
cps allows arbitrary procedure rewriting to continuation passing style: https://github.com/nim-works/cps
chronos is an alternative async/await backend: https://github.com/status-im/nim-chronos
zero-functional fixes some inefficiencies when chaining list operations: https://github.com/zero-functional/zero-functional
owlkettle is a declarative macro-oriented library for GTK: https://github.com/can-lehmann/owlkettle
A longer list can be found at https://github.com/ringabout/awesome-nim.

Nim Version 1.6 Released
* Goroutines are probably a lot more easier to use. Work is being done to make Nim even better in that area: https://github.com/nim-works/cps but don't expect it soonish.
* I feel like Go has less 'edge cases', but the Nim compiler is steadily getting more stable, especially consider it's not backed up by a major company!
* Metaprogramming is really powerful, but not beginner friendly. The documentation says use macros when necessary, but personally I don't think that really happens in practice.
The advantages by far outweigh the disadvantages, especially if you are looking for a clean Go alternative(except maaaaaaybeee web application).
