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.

So I started learning about C++ and I feel like I'm doing everything wrong.
D has RAII when its structs are used (classes get allocated with GC but you don't have to use the GC) and there are unique_ptr style libraries around. For example automem.

Note, this is called flow-sensitive typing (also called type narrowing) and I think that typescript does it.

A model checker can do that!
See this

Other techniques are also possible

(Here I could link a lot of things, I just selected two Rust projects to illustrate)
This works better if you are able to provide contracts in your API that says which guarantees you provide. Alternatively, asserts are useful too.

Programming Languages Going Above and Beyond
You might be interested in the Prusti project, which statically checks for absence of reachable panics, overflows etc. It also allows user-defined specifications such as pre and post-conditions, loop body invariants, termination checking and so on.

Trying to find a crate that allows you to constrain the value of arguments in various ways via a proc macro
This is called refinement types and prusti might be the project you saw.

But there's also a lot of exciting work around formal verification like Prusti.

Is there something like "super-safe" rust?

Prop v0.42 released! Don't panic! The answer is... support for dependent types :)
Wow that sounds really cool! I'm not an expert but does that mean that one day you could implement dependend types or refinement types in Rust as a crate ? I currently only know of tools like: Flux Creusot Kani Prusti
