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.

What Comes After Git
Several threads here point to difftastic: https://github.com/Wilfred/difftastic
I know a lot of people who have a lot of hope for diffsitter (or something like it): https://github.com/afnanenayet/diffsitter
Personally, I think the reason most "good" semantic diff tools are proprietary is that they are huge amounts of effort that are mostly "hacks" and "heuristics" bandaged together in ways that people don't want to let out how the sausage was made.
But I also "general, language agnostic AST-based semantic diff" is a mountain peak we cannot reach (probably ever), and I believe my experiments found an interesting local maxima that people are maybe sleeping on (lexer-based diffs rather than parser-based diffs): https://github.com/WorldMaker/tokdiff

Fast Kernel Headers: Tree -v1: Eliminate the Linux kernel's "Dependency Hell"
https://github.com/afnanenayet/diffsitter there are quiet a few projects such as this one, attempting to solve the issue. :)

Thinking about programming systems and not just languages and environments
There’s an interesting project in the semantic diff/merge space that I have been keeping an eye out for https://github.com/afnanenayet/diffsitter

What if Git worked with Programming Languages?
I have never used any of them, but it look like tree-sitter based diff tools are exactly what you are searching for (like difftastic, gumtree or diffsitter).
I believe Unison is the only attempt to do this at a programming language/environment level.
For Git diffs, there is Diffsitter, which uses Tree Sitter to generate semantic diffs of code files: https://github.com/afnanenayet/diffsitter
I have not used it, but it is high on my todo list.

Difftastic: A syntactic diff tool
Looks great, I'll try it! FYI, there is a very similar project called diffsitter https://github.com/afnanenayet/diffsitter

Difftastic, a structural diff tool that understands syntax
Grammar page (https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter-cpp) reference two documents at the very end:
- Hyperlinked C++ BNF Grammar (https://alx71hub.github.io/hcb/)
- EBNF Syntax: C++ (ISO/IEC 14882:1998(E)) https://www.externsoft.ch/download/cpp-iso.html
The second doc has a year in the title, so it's ancient af.

GitHub code search is generally available
The feature isn't working well yet on C and C++. If I recall correctly it's based on Tree-Sitter[1] parsing, and there are still too many bugs in corresponding grammars - tree-sitter-c[2] and tree-sitter-cpp[3]. Hopefully, it will be greatly improved in the future as the share of the existing and newly written code in C and C++ is quite significant.

Call for volunteers: add tree-sitter support to major modes
There's treesitter-cpp parser that works to some extent already. However, for complex language like c++, I think it would be better to use lsp's semantic highlighting instead
