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.

Popular Data Structure Libraries in C ?
C Container Template Library (CTL)

Template generator for C?
I guess something like that may exist but it can be done with the preprocessor alone. See https://github.com/tylov/STC or https://github.com/glouw/ctl

STC Templated Containers library V3.8
I assume you refer to that two of the letters match with STL or STD, right? Even if they are not related to C at all. I assume STB, CTL, are not acceptable for you either?
- Modern programming languages require generics

How to make develop C application easier?
The standard C library lacks any kind of containers (vectors, hash tables etc.) so the first thing would be to find one you like. For example, the C Template Library is a nice one: https://github.com/glouw/ctl

The Rust compiler has gotten faster again
While I agree the common pattern is to use void*/dynamic dispatch, this is not necessary. E.g., https://github.com/glouw/ctl/ or https://github.com/c-blake/bst show a couple ways to have generic code statically specialized in regular old C.

STC 2.0: standard template containers for C
The template instantiation is rewritten and is now similar to how glouw CTL library does it. STC no longer contains long macros for generating the templated code.
-
Quasi general AVL-Tree implementation
define type macros before #including the implementation. (intrusive) This is how https://github.com/glouw/ctl does it. The good: type-safety. no casting, clear error messages. Somewhat clumsy to have to individual #includes for each container type instantiation of the same container.

Macro to automatically unlock a mutex in a block (ansi c)
This technique is often used to implement RAII in C. See example in Standard Template Containers. The library delivers STL-like functionality to C.
-
Is using void* considered "evil" in C just as it is in C++?
I'd say it's evil, but quite understandable very commonly used because there are no built-in alternatives in C. I basically never use void* in user-code, simply because there are no need for it when using a templating technique, like in my STC library. Even in the implementation of STC itself, void* is hardly used, if at all.

[Noob Question] How do C programmers get around not having hash maps?
STC

Should I use templates or stick with rewriting code?
This is more or less how C-ish templates are implemented in STC library.

What’s the right hash table API?
As the author of a STL-like templated C container library, I had many of the exact same thoughts when implementing the unordered map. In fact, I also changed to many of the suggestions here, rather than consistently following the C++ umap API. E.g.

What's the fastest high level language?
Sure it is. C misses a proper efficient generic standard/container library, like my https://github.com/stclib/STC, but that is irrelevant.

So what's the best data structures and algorithms library for C?
Some data structure and algorithm library in C enable the (optional) separation between the interface of the container (which is expanded in your header) and its implementation (which is expanded in your source), like STC.
