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.

Bog – small, strongly typed, embeddable language
Looking at the two of them, both awesome projects, not a competition but here are a few things I noticed. Cyber seems to have pretty good documentation (maybe Bog does too but I didn't find too much from the readme. For example, you can see Bog has a GC and its standard library supports JSON, but memory management and non-scalar data structures aren't mentioned in the Bog readme).
Cyber also seems to be under more active development at the moment.

If you made a library in Zig. Could you use that library inside C? (and by extension, almost all programming languages, since most languages support C libraries to some extent)

Bun - The One Tool for All Your JavaScript/Typescript Project's Needs?
NodeJS is by no means a slow runtime, it wouldn’t be so popular if it was. But compared to Bun, it’s slow. Bun was built from the ground up with speed in mind, using both JavascriptCore and Zig. The Bun team spent an enormous amount of time and energy trying to make Bun fast, including lots of profiling, benchmarking, and optimizations.

Bun 1.1
ntdll.dll!RtlUserThreadStart()
There are valid reasons to use APIs from NTDLL. Where I disagree with zig#1840 is the idea that it is always better to use NTDLL versions of API. Every other software ecosystem uses the standard Win32 APIs and diverging from that without a good reason seems like a good way to have unexpected behavior. One concrete example is most users and programmers expect Windows to redirect some file system paths when running on WOW64. But this is implemented in Kernel32, not ntdll.
