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.

Zig, the Small Language
The fanaticism of Rust devs makes me think it's probably massively overrated (see Node yesterday and Ruby/Rails the day before) and Go is associated by Google which gets a perhaps unfair but still unignorable knee-jerk reaction from me to avoid it.
I don't know enough about Nim to pass judgment.
Two reasons I decided to give Zig a try: The official chat channel is on IRC, instead of Discord or Slack (so the people involved care about efficiency, open standards, and avoiding trends/bandwagoning), and it has an early but promising-looking Swift UI-like cross-platform UI framework in development: https://github.com/capy-ui/capy

Any recommendation for GUI
I’ve been making Capy (https://github.com/capy-ui/capy) which allows to code once and cross-compile to Windows, Linux, (macOS in the future) and even WebAssembly. It also have support for DataWrapper which allows to easily make animations, and much more.

Are there any open source projects that need contributors?
If you want to look at something a bit bigger I can also suggest looking at Fyne (the toolkit that I’m working on and using to build the app): https://github.com/fyne-io/fyne

Why Golang instead of Rust to develop the Krater desktop app
Tauri is definitely a hot SEO keyword!
I had not heard of https://wails.io before for Golang GUIs, only https://fyne.io which renders its own controls.

Understand how to use C libraries in Go, with CGO
And this is how https://github.com/go-gst/go-gst, https://github.com/go-gl/glfw, and even https://fyne.io/ are using system libraries to propose a lot of functionalities.

Code for accessing portals in Go?
It would be great if we could add support for Flatpak portals in https://github.com/fyne-io/fyne but I find the portal documentation complicated (especially if preferring to use D-Bus instead of accessing libportal using C). Does anyone have code examples for using portals from Go code?

Expo – open-source platform for making universal apps for Android, iOS, and web
If you fancy Go, there's Fyne. I don't work in the space so I cannot judge it.
