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.

Forth on the XMOS CPU?
Probably what I would do is write a minimal forth interpreter in C, and then use that and a few core words to bootstrap the rest of the system. It is a bit more complex than that, but here is the software which does it.https://github.com/larsbrinkhoff/lbForth
