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.

SWIG
- Swig – Connect C/C++ programs with high-level programming languages
- Using Lua with C++
-
Purego – A library for calling C functions from Go without Cgo
How is this any different than a mature tool such as SWIG (https://www.swig.org/)?
I've used SWIG extensively with Python to call C code and import C headers for testing/tooling purposes.
-
How does Golang communicate with C++?
For pure C, CGO. For C++ they are likely creating shims with Swig: https://www.swig.org/

I feel really dumb whenever I take a coding test for a job
I mostly write in C and C++ so for language bindings I use Swig a lot. Say Im creating a machine learning library in C++, its very easy to create a Python API that can call the C++ classes and methods using Swig. iirc, I am using the same swig interface file to create bindings for Python, OCaml, R and even Fortran. Feel free to DM me if you got any more questions or anything!

Is there a way to use a c++ project in a python project?
Swig can make c++ types and functions available to python.
-
Boxflow - A universal layout engine written in Zig
The likes of SWIG is often used to link C library-like code to 11-ish other widely used languages.
-
How do SWIG and LLVM compare as language ecosystems?
But, you might find these links interesting: * https://github.com/swig/swig/issues/918 * https://github.com/kaby76/swigged.llvm

Recommendation for software to aid with creating a C# wrapper around a c++ library
Or take a look at the tools CppSharp or SWIG, s.a. Example for SWIG to wrap C++ library in .Net 6.
-
Is there a compiler that can compile source code into a bunch of source codes for different platforms?
This sounds a bit like SWIG. You give SWIG an "interface file" describing the API of a library, and it uses that to spit out a bunch of language-specific bindings for that library.
What are some alternatives?
CppSharp - Tools and libraries to glue C/C++ APIs to high-level languages
Cython - The most widely used Python to C compiler
djinni
JavaCPP - The missing bridge between Java and native C++
JNA - Java Native Access
libffi - A portable foreign-function interface library.
PyCUDA - CUDA integration for Python, plus shiny features
Duktape - Duktape - embeddable Javascript engine with a focus on portability and compact footprint
sol2 - Sol3 (sol2 v3.0) - a C++ <-> Lua API wrapper with advanced features and top notch performance - is here, and it's great! Documentation:
V8 - The official mirror of the V8 Git repository
jpype - JPype is cross language bridge to allow Python programs full access to Java class libraries.
PyJNIus - Access Java classes from Python
