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.

Looks like the author added the `LICENSE` file in repo root after this comment: https://github.com/scandum/blitsort/blob/main/LICENSE
This is always a great point to bring up, though. People who don't properly declare the license of their OSS projects are (either unintentionally or internionally) make it a headache for companies to use. I'm not saying it's bad to explicitly deny corporate use (via GPL, etc.). The real problem IMO is when other OSS projects vendor unlicensed code and then declare their projects to be under MIT license. Then if a corporation uses it, they're unknowingly violating the copyright of the transitive dep.

glidesort
-
A Rust port of crumsort, up to 75% faster than pdqsort
How does this compare to the recent glidesort algorithm? Why should someone prefer this to that one?

Reinforcement learned branchless sorting functions for sort3, sort4 and sort5 were landed in LLVM
With the recent release of Glidesort I remembered this change that recently landed in LLVM.

Can C++ be the language of choice for new algo development?
In recent years at least one implementation of std sort was replaced by newer algo. Back when it was discussed there was an announcement of other people trying to improve sorting algorithms. Here is example of one https://github.com/orlp/glidesort ( beware it is written in Rust ).
