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.

Syntatic Sugar that compiles to C
even more interesting are the handful of projects layering lisp style macros on top of C. i've seen several go by over the years; a quick google search brought up c-mera and cmacro.

Show HN: C programming language extension: Cedro pre-processor
To implement something like linear types[1] in C, such that each instance of type_t must be used once and only once. But I imagine this would require too much integration with the type system and code analysis.
I wish binary inclusion was provided by more languages or build systems. For small files it's a very suitable alternative to the difficulties of packaging resources when distributing an application or library.
