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.

Zig, Rust, and Other Languages
Nim is also a strong player as a systems programming language. In terms of memory management, it's configurable, and by default you get ARC (no GC). I've written a hobby kernel (if you can call it that) in Nim[1] as well as Zig[2], and I found Nim to be much more ergonomic and approachable. The fact that Zig requires weaving an allocator through most calls that may allocate gets in the way of what I'm trying to do. I'd rather focus on core logic and have ref counting take care of dropping memory when appropriate.
One thing I wish Nim had though is true sum types with payloads. I think there's an RFC for that, but it's a shame it's not in the language yet.

Writing a Simple Operating System – From Scratch [pdf]
If anyone is interested, I have a couple of implementations of booting under UEFI and getting a bunch of info about the system (don't expect a functioning system, they just boot and dump some info):
Nim: https://github.com/khaledh/axiom
Zig: https://github.com/khaledh/axiom-zig (this one goes into depth in disassembling ACPI DSDT bytecode)

One can, of course, go much further than simply distinct number types: https://github.com/ringabout/awesome-nim#science
(Unchained seems maybe the most featureful of those units packages.)

An Intuition for Lisp Syntax
> This is useful for compiler programmers, or maybe also those writing source code analyzers/optimizers, but is that it?
It is also useful for anyone wanting to implement language-level features as simple libraries. Someone else brought up Nim here: it's a great example of what can be done with metaprogramming (and in a non-Lisp language) as it intentionally sticks to a small-but-extendable-core design.
There's macro-based libraries that implement the following, with all the elegance of a compiler feature: traits, interfaces, classes, typeclasses, contracts, Result types, HTML (and other) DSLs, syntax sugar for a variety of things (notably anonymous functions `=>` and Option types `?`), pattern matching (now in the compiler), method cascading, async/await, and more that I'm forgetting.

Nim: Curated Packages
Just under their table of contents, they say that "This list is fairly outdated." and point you to https://github.com/xflywind/awesome-nim - and that repo seems to have recent updates.

Nim Community Survey 2021 Results
Thanks for making these, I actually had no idea these existed! I don't "need" them now but seeing these gives me ideas for projects and makes future things easier.
I wish discovery of community libraries was higher, I'm constantly discovering libraries that do amazing things 'hidden' away. I know there's https://nimble.directory/ and https://github.com/xflywind/awesome-nim but most of the time I end up using a search engine for something specific if I think of it.
