The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
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.

Opensourcing Whichlang, a fast language detection library for Rust!
This looks cool, and it’s good to have a pure-Rust option available now, but I wonder, have the authors considered binding CLD2? (It looks like a crate exists for it already, but it is deprecated.) It was originally developed as the language detector for Chromium (to do things like selecting the right spell check language), optimized for speed and size. It may be a bit dated (Chromium no longer uses it), but it is small and easy to use. I’ve used it with great success in a past project.

Announcing Lingua 1.0.0: The most accurate natural language detection library for Python, suitable for long and short text alike
Python is widely used in natural language processing, so there are a couple of comprehensive open source libraries for this task, such as Google's CLD 2 and CLD 3, langid and langdetect. Unfortunately, except for the last one they have two major drawbacks:

Best C# library to detect the language of user input strings without calling external APIs like Google Translate etc?
I was looking for something like that for .net app and ended up using this https://github.com/google/cld3

Using char n grams as input to a neural network
I used it a lot in the models I work on. For example, we used it on a widely used project called CLD3 (https://github.com/google/cld3). The performance is great.
