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.

So You Want to Ship a Command-Line Tool for macOS
[2] https://github.com/burtonageo/cargo-bundle
You wouldn't need to tangle with Swift, would only need enough Rust to hoist whatever script you're trying to run.
In general though I find the article a bit odd - there are also quite a few examples of signing/notarizing/etc for GitHub Actions out there already, I went through this exercise a week ago and it wasn't that bad.

My Return to Desktop Applications
Incidentally, if there's anyone into Windows installers and Rust, see [1][2] There's a Rust bundler for making installers cross-platform. Mac is done, Linux is partly done, and Windows needs someone familiar with the arcane world of Windows install files.

How do I make my binary look like an app
Is cargo-bundle the kind of thing you're looking for?

GameScripter.JS — write games in JS, compile to tiny executable
How tiny is the output? What is the API? (I couldn't find any documentation. I thought maybe it's in the Help menu in the app itself but all I found was this https://i.imgur.com/6puOMIe.png - On that note, what level of JS is supported? As far as I can tell it uses this https://github.com/c-smile/sciter-js-sdk which is based on Fabrice Bellard's QuickJS ) Is there sound?

Ultralight VS sciter-js-sdk - a user suggested alternative

Zig Build System Internals
Having normal procedural language for build automation is of course useful. That's for those 10% of cases when "standard" build DSL (make,CMake,etc.) simply do not have facilities.
But the rest of 90% tasks should have compact (easily readable) definitions.
I personally found that Premake5 has quite good balance for these tasks.
Premake files are plain .lua files and due to Lua syntax they are easily readable. And if needed you can call from them procedures defined in again Lua.
So typical project (multiplatform) definition looks pretty readable, for example one project from Sciter SDK:

Tauri – Electron alternative written in Rust
Note Tauri is full fledged Client/Server with WebView (client) is running in separate process with RPC between UI process and Rust code (Server).
For the comparison:
Standalone Sciter (scapp.exe, https://github.com/c-smile/sciter-js-sdk/tree/main/bin) takes ~8 MB of RAM (with minimal Cairo and GDI backends).
That's 20 times less than even Tauri.
WebView based solutions are not suitable for applets - small portable desktop applications.

Sciter, the 5 MB Electron alternative, has switched to JavaScript
It does support , with limited support but still.
See: https://github.com/c-smile/sciter-js-sdk/tree/main/samples/c...
Sciter also supports immediate mode painting on any element (like in DearIMGUI):
element.paintBackground = function(gfx) {
