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.

GUI
There's also this wrapper by SpexGuy, and zig-upaya by Prime31 which also brings imgui support. I haven't used both though, and they might need some love due to zig-changes in the last months.
What are some alternatives?
libui - Simple and portable (but not inflexible) GUI library in C that uses the native GUI technologies of each platform it supports.
imgui - Dear ImGui: Bloat-free Graphical User interface for C++ with minimal dependencies
zgl - Zig OpenGL Wrapper
cimgui - c-api for imgui (https://github.com/ocornut/imgui) Look at: https://github.com/cimgui for other widgets
zig-gamekit - Companion repo for zig-renderkit for making 2D games
Zig-ImGui - Zig bindings for ocornut/imgui, generated using cimgui/cimgui
webview - Tiny cross-platform webview library for C/C++. Uses WebKit (GTK/Cocoa) and Edge WebView2 (Windows).
mach-gpu-dawn - Google's Dawn WebGPU implementation, cross-compiled with Zig into a single static library
microzig - Unified abstraction layer and HAL for several microcontrollers
nappgui_src - SDK for building cross-platform desktop apps in ANSI-C
tauri - Build smaller, faster, and more secure desktop applications with a web frontend.
