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.

what math is required?
It might be useful to maybe look at the Vulkan.hpp examples since you can do the same in about 200 lines of code. https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Hpp/blob/main/samples/15_DrawCube/15_DrawCube.cpp
- Vulkan-Hpp now provides C++20 module interface file

How do you guys organize everything?
Wow that library looks amazing, I'll definitely be using it. Bonus that it's official from the Khronos Group. https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Hpp

An idea to ease wrapping C libraries in C++.
Even auto-generated c++ wrappers like vulkan-hpp require lots of manual maintenance.

Anybody know why V-EZ has not been updated in 5 years?
Ultimately I went with vulkan.hpp RAII bindings, even though that way also has some learning curve and I couldn't find any documentation other than the RAII programming guide. It's great for getting started, but could use a complementary auto-generated API doc. There are also decent programming samples, which really suck for getting started, but otherwise do a good job of presenting concepts they focus on. Putting the available resources together I was able to get a project going in two weekends.

Using enum classes as bitmasks
This is exactly how the official Vulkan C++ API, Vulkan-Hpp does it. For the precise example mentioned in the blog post:

Recommendations on how to start a small Vulkan project
Or the vulkan.hpp RAII samples would be a good place?
-
What's the most hilarious use of operator overloading you've seen?
For a real-life example: consider the vk::raii namespace of Vulkan-Hpp, where the developers have posted examples. The vk::raii::su namespace has a bunch of free functions that one might think are associated with a Vulkan instance/object (in fact, the Vulkan Tutorial does implement them as member functions), but they are much nicer when used as pure functions. It keeps the class/struct definition itself nice and clean.

PicoGK is a compact and robust geometry kernel for Computational Engineering
In the README there is a section title "On the shoulders of giants" that probably points to the main reason. This project is a layer overtop https://www.openvdb.org/
- openvdb: NEW Data - star count:2137.0
- openvdb: NEW Data - star count:2055.0
What are some alternatives?
