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.

Embedded / RaspberryPi: Reading GPIO: is `libgpiod` better then `WiringPi`?
So I have a C program running on my Raspberry Pi that reads GPIO pins indefinitely. I used WiringPi to write it, and I notice it uses 20%-30% of CPU. I tried both with and without interrupts. Here are links to two implementations:

Is PWM not working correctly in wiringPi? Also, given how it is deprecated, what's the best replacement C/C++ library?
WiringPi was deprecated by its author after he was flooded with support requests from non-Raspberry Pi users. There is a community-maintained fork: WiringPi/WiringPi: Gordon's Arduino wiring-like WiringPi Library for the Raspberry Pi (Unofficial Mirror for WiringPi bindings) for recent hardware. How long it'll stick around, I don't know.
Yes. There is a community fork of wiringPi which supports newer hardware. No new features.

GPIO Programming on the Raspberry Pi: Python Libraries
The WiringPi library is an often used, functional rich library that supports I2C and SPI connections. It is written in C and provides Python bindings. The library is unfortunately deprecated as the original author stated. Decide yourself if you want to use the library: On one hand, you find several examples on the internet, on the other hand, members from the Raspberry Pi community start to move to new libraries.
