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.

Why Can't `Box` Be Abstracted Away From the Developer?
Absolutely. I have seen some pretty cool concepts in Rust for memory cleanup; not just garbage collection, but deterministic reference cycle removal by cactusref. And the fun thing about these is that you still get all of Rust's zero-cost abstractions and epic modern language design.

CactusRef: an experimental cycle-aware Rc and mini tracing GC
I've put together a WIP PR to experiment with a safe adoption API: https://github.com/artichoke/cactusref/pull/47. This allows the doubly linked list example to be implemented in safe code without leaks. I didn't even think this was possible! Thanks for making me think!

The Garbage Collection Handbook, 2nd Edition
There was this project though.
https://github.com/Roldak/AGC
The best part is that it's faster than manual management. People will tell you they need do to malloc and free manually for performance, but when you actually run the numbers GC wins for a majority of use cases.
