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.

D Programming Language
In a word, yes.
In more words: You should be able to use Cosmopolitan libc: https://github.com/Yardanico/cosmonim
If something does not work for you, Yardanico is super duper helpful in all things Nim.
Nim also compiles to Javascript (nim js) and C++ for integration with legacy codebases, but that is probably more to the side of your interests.

Patching GCC to Build Portable Executables
I haven't used Nim much, but I remember a repo on Github had setup a build script for compiling Nim with Cosmopolitan Libc. https://github.com/Yardanico/cosmonim
This gcc patch makes such build scripts simpler, because you will need to change less of your code -- let me know how it works!

DMD Compiler as a Library: A Call to Arms
Here's the pipeline spitting out the same error as on my macbook did.

My favourite Git commit (2019)
Not completely on topic (if you read TFA) but my favorite Git commit is by compiler badass and HN frequenter, where he checks in an entire C compiler to the D language repo:

The C Bounded Model Checker: Criminally Underused
A new generated code alone is 4000 lines long [1]. The actual code added is just 2000 lines, and some are used to pay debts, I mean, to make a proper code generator (which can be alternatively written in a simpler scripting langauge). In any case it is never comparable to the entier C parser proper.

OpenD, a D language fork that is open to your contributions
D is completely opensource already (https://github.com/dlang/dmd). The "open" of OpenD is just ADR saying that OpenD will be more open to new language features than D has historically been.

The OpenD Programming Language (fork of D)
The reference compiler, DMD, is open source: https://github.com/dlang/dmd
But they don't accept just any Pull Request or features the community submits, understandably. There's a process called DIP for language improvements: https://github.com/dlang/DIPs/blob/master/DIPs/README.md
However, by some accounts, it's really hard to get anything through.
Given D already has so many feature, I find that to be a good thing , to be honest, by not everyone agrees, of course.
