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.

sketch, sdl2, c2ffi on M1 Mac?
Quickloading :sketch or :sdl2 wants the c2ffi library which seems to be available on neither Quicklisp nor Homebrew. Downloading that library from source and following the build instructions (and several alternative variants found by Googling ) leads to errors like:

C Isn't a Programming Language Anymore
> C compiler based tool that outputs DWARF or DWARF-like debug output that actually lays out everything
That sounds like C2FFI: https://github.com/rpav/c2ffi
The only language ecosystem where I've seen it used is Common Lisp. But it emits plain JSON and depends only on LLVM (albeit a specific version thereof), and I don't see any reason why you couldn't build e.g. a Python auto-binding library on top of it.

Alternative to ECL?
There is the cl-autowrap that can generate lisp packages from C header filesc- I am unsure if it sticks to ANSI C or goes beyond. It inturn depends on c2ffi for the first time around.

Installing c2ffi on Ubuntu
git clone https://github.com/rpav/c2ffi git checkout -b llvm-11.0.0 refs/remotes/origin/llvm-11.0.0 cd build cmake .. # -DBUILD_CONFIG=Release LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/llvm-11/lib/ make # -j8 sudo checkinstall

C Isn't a Programming Language Anymore
It also kinda sorta sounds like this tool the author wrote: https://github.com/Gankra/abi-cafe
> This tool helps automate testing that two languages/compilers agree on ABIs for the purposes of FFI. This is still in early development so lots of stuff is stubbed out.
...
> By running this natively on whatever platform you care about, this will tell you what FFI interfaces do and don't currently work. Ideally all you need to do is cargo run, but we're dealing with native toolchains so, expect toolchain bugs!
