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.

Fornjot: A next-generation Code-CAD application
Fornjot is architected to be language-agnostic. Rust is just the easiest language to support, given that the rest of the project is written in it too.
I (author of Fornjot) don't have any near-term plans to add support for other languages, but I hope that people will start experimenting (and someone already has: https://github.com/WeirdConstructor/Fornjot/tree/wlambda_int...).

Fornjot: A next-generation Code-CAD application
I have been working on a .net wrapper for opencascade (https://github.com/veggielane/EngrCAD) but opencascade interop from .net is a pain. I also fell in and out of love with SDF, as most CAM tools need BREP.
I agree with people in this thread, the world needs more CAD kernels. I also think that we need a language agnostic markup language to represent the BREP.
What are some alternatives?
ruststep - A STEP toolkit for Rust
opencascade.js - Port of the OpenCascade CAD library to JavaScript and WebAssembly via Emscripten.
arcade - A rust CAD engine (NURBS kernel)
CascadeStudio - A Full Live-Scripted CAD Kernel in the Browser
Kind - A next-gen functional language [Moved to: https://github.com/Kindelia/Kind2]
constraints - An experiment in writing algebraic constraint solvers for 3D CAD
stepcode - STEPcode (formerly NIST's STEP Class Library) is used with IFC, STEP, and other standards that utilize the technologies of ISO10303 (STEP). It generates C++ and Python from EXPRESS (10303-11) schemas. The code is capable of reading and writing STEP Part 21 exchange files. It also utilizes Parts 22 and 23 (SDAI and its C++ binding).
