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.

b2 for C++?
Yes, this is a common stumbling block for users with the CMake background. The underlying reason is that build2 is a "multi-repo first" build system while CMake is "mono-repo first" (or perhaps even "mono-repo only"; I don't think there were repositories as we know them when Autotools was designed ;-)). In particular, in build2 it's common to build multiple independent projects/repositories in a shared build configuration. Putting this build configuration as a subdirectory of source directory of one of them would be strange. You can read more on this in this issue: https://github.com/build2/build2/issues/187

build2 IDE support?
build2 can generate Clang compilation database (currently indirectly): https://github.com/build2/build2/issues/96 I believe quite a few IDEs (including CLion) can work off that.

GitHub - dcantrell/bsdutils: Alternative to GNU coreutils using software from FreeBSD
https://github.com/DiegoMagdaleno/BSDCoreUtils/blob/master/src/cat/cat.c (not upstream but a port)

Debian Running on Rust Coreutils
The Rust implementation that we are discussing is MIT licensed and as far as I know not part of GNU.
I do not believe that "Coreutils" is trademarked by GNU.
There are other projects that use the name "Coreutils" that are not part of GNU:

Have you heard of posh: Policy-compliant Ordinary SHell?
Unsure. Would BSD CoreUtils help?

Writing Bash Scripts that are not only Bash: Checking for Bashisms and testing with Dash
This makes me want to build a container for testing scripts that contains: posh, BSD coretools, shellcheck, checkbashisms.
What are some alternatives?
samurai - ninja-compatible build tool written in C
fancy-regex - Rust library for regular expressions using "fancy" features like look-around and backreferences
embedded-graphics - A no_std graphics library for embedded applications
bsdutils - Alternative to GNU coreutils using software from FreeBSD
libgnunetworker - Multithreading with GNUnet
shake - Shake build system
mbpfan - A simple daemon to control fan speed on all MacBook/MacBook Pros (probably all Apple computers) for Linux Kernel 3 and newer
coreutils - Cross-platform Rust rewrite of the GNU coreutils
regex - An implementation of regular expressions for Rust. This implementation uses finite automata and guarantees linear time matching on all inputs.
fab-rs - The fabulous, aspirationally Make-compatible, fabricator of files.
