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.

WebGPU Fundamentals
This is true, but there is a lot more to the story. For one, WebGPU does not (yet) support mesh shaders, though it may later as an extension. For two, consider a glyph such as "o" that has two contours. Real triangulation generates a mesh that only generates triangles between the outer and inner contours, and mesh shaders aren't good at that. There are techniques (cover and stencil) that draw twice, incrementing and decrementing a winding number stored in the stencil buffer (see contrast renderer[1] for a clean modern implementation), but it does require nontrivial tracking on the CPU side, and can result in lots of draw calls to switch between the cover and stencil stages unless sophisticated batching is done.
Compute shaders avoid all these problems and work on WebGPU 1.0 today.

Rust: State of GUI, December 2022 – KAS blog
Thanks!
You can also checkout the "feature/ui" branch in GIT [1] to get the UI framework prototype.

Deno in 2023
Currently, we do it by using binaries through napi-rs so we can bring in a window using the platform native API. And then we do some hack to merge the event loops.
But if Deno supports bringing up a window directly, this means we can just ship wasm instead of native binary for all platform. And also I hope event loop integration will be simplified.
Although we'd also need more API than just showing a window (mouse and keyboard input, accessibility, popup window, system tray, ...)

A 2024 Plea for Lean Software
With Slint (https://slint.dev) we're trying to make a lightweight toolkit that doesn't use HTML/CSS. And that you can program either from low level languages such as C++ or Rust. As well as with higher level language such as JavaScript, and we want to extend to python too.

Immediate Mode GUI Programming
I haven't. I was just searching for a GUI library that was Bevy-compatible and slint isn't at the moment: https://github.com/slint-ui/slint/discussions/940
Sorry!

The Linux graphics stack in a nutshell, part 1
You can do that with Slint (https://slint.dev) and its linuxkms backend. No need for a xorg server or wayland compositor, just run the application made with Slint from the init script.
