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.

Exploring Linux command-line space time
Some terminals probably scroll sideways, but this `st` program seems to require running to completion. So, ^C does not give you any report at all.
While it does RSS not Proportional Set Size (PSS) { arguably parsing /proc/PID/smaps_rollup should be added } and does not integrate program launch with tracking or use netlink to track making kids, an alternative that might interest some is a scrolling terminal kind of log report out of the Nim https://github.com/c-blake/procs .

Ask HN: Why did Nim not catch-on like wild fire as Rust did?
I don't know about all your other questions, but the https://github.com/c-blake/cligen CLI framework seems much lower effort / ceremony than even Rust's `argh` and is just about as old as `clap` (both started 8 years ago in 2015).
There are over 50 CLI utilities at https://github.com/c-blake/bu, many of which do something novel rather than just "re-doing ls/find/cat with a twist". While they are really more an "ls/ps construction toolkits" with some default configs to get people going, I think https://github.com/c-blake/lc and https://github.com/c-blake/procs are nicer than Rust alternatives. I mention these since you seem interested in such tools.

Unix command line conventions over time
Since `ps` is featuring prominently here, folks might be interested in https://github.com/c-blake/procs which is a color ps (Linux-only right now). It has a more canonical CLI since it is based upon https://github.com/c-blake/cligen. It actually does subcommands, too (display, find, scrollsys) and so it can replace pgrep, pkill, ps, etc., etc.

There are alternatives to dd like ddrescue (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/disk_cloning#Block-level_cl...), but given it's standard on all *nix machines it's hard to avoid, just need to be extra careful before executing. There are also wrappers for dd, like ddi (https://github.com/tralph3/ddi) for extra safety
-
What are some neat and useful CLI programs?
I made a small and kinda pointless wrapper for dd because I wanted to check out Rust. It warns you and gives you information about the disk you're about to write to, in case it's a disk. If not it just skips it and calls dd in the background. You can check it out here.

How much did you contribute to linux (or open source) community??
I created 2 applications for Linux, ZeroTier-GUI and Steam-Metadata-Editor. Also ddi but that was more of a personal project to try to use Rust rather than anything else. Both were received fairly well. I also lurk this and other linux related subreddits and provide help wherever I can, which happens to be a lot.

What are some alternatives?
nio - Low Overhead Numerical/Native IO library & tools
ZeroTier-GUI - A Linux front-end for ZeroTier
rosettaboy - A gameboy emulator in several different languages
Steam-Metadata-Editor - An easy to use GUI that edits the metadata of your Steam Apps
vos - Vinix is an effort to write a modern, fast, and useful operating system in the V programming language
castero - TUI podcast client for the terminal
nimkernel - A small kernel written in Nim
Ventoy - A new bootable USB solution.
NimForUE - Nim plugin for UE5 with native performance, hot reloading and full interop that sits between C++ and Blueprints. This allows you to do common UE workflows like for example to extend any UE class in Nim and extending it again in Blueprint if you wish so without restarting the editor. The final aim is to be able to do in Nim what you can do in C++
