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.

Digital Audio Workstation Front End Development Struggles
There's a relatively new C++ GUI library literally called "Elements". Not sure how it works though, but the way it looks, and the music background of its creator makes it appear designed for DAWs.

Introducing Slint 1.0 - The Next-Generation GUI Toolkit with C++20 APIs
Further, if you we want a "modern" C++ GUI framework what actually would be modern would be to use mechanisms in the language itself as a quasi-DSL from within the language. This is something like what Joel de Guzman is doing with Elements
- Can I include cycfi/elements with CMake in any project or must I build up on example projects?

Boost.URL ACCEPTED, get the beta now!
It's a complex domain. The closest we have at the moment is Elements which hasn't been proposed for Boost (yet?) but is by Joel de Guzman, the primary author of Boost.Spirit.

Is there any MIT/BSD licensed UI framework for C++ ?

GUI for software, not games, but lighter than Qt ?
If you don't want to use Qt I honestly think your best bet may be to become an early adopter of cycfi elements depending on your project. Elements is still rough but is useable for small applications. I think when it is finished it will be the best choice for a retained mode GUI library, but right now it is missing a lot of things (e.g. the standard common dialogs, "open", "Save as", etc.) , and has basically zero documentation.

Why I choose Electron even when I wanted to use QT
For the past year we were evaluating EFL, QML and Flutter for our embedded TV devices after having used the first two for last 5+ years and choice was made to go with Flutter. Performance is great, license is great, and development experience, judged by the whole development team, is the best. Hence my remark on being sad as QML could have had a great future, even transitioned to modern C++ without need for separate language, if there was a huge adoption and proper choices made by the company, e.g. see https://github.com/cycfi/elements.

3rd Edition of Programming: Principles and Practice Using C++ by Stroustrup
This is overly dramatic. The "keywords" are just macros. If you don't want an additional preprocessor to generate code in a separate .cpp file from these macros, you can use https://github.com/woboq/verdigris
The concurrency model, object ownership and life cycle you are mentioning are not part of C++, those are just conventions in specific C++ user groups - Qt code compiles plain and simple with pretty much every conformant C++ compiler and that makes it as much C++ as anything else.

Qt Creator 12 Released
There were a couple of attempts in that direction, but i haven't really seen them used in any production codebase.

Will C++ ever get a standard GUI/2D Graphics library?
Is Moc for signals and slots still needed? Mind you, I haven't used Qt in 15 years, but I was sure I heard about some standard C++ way of building Qt apps without needing the MOC prebuild step (IIRC https://woboq.com/blog/verdigris-qt-without-moc.html).

KDE Plasma development switches to Qt 6 tomorrow
Nope, Qt 6 still uses moc. I don't think modern C++ meta programming is quite capable of entirely replacing moc. The closest thing I'm aware of is [0], but it requires additional macros compared to what moc requires, and compilation speed can suffer. Chances are moc won't be dropped until full reflection lands, if ever, and even then if compilation speed is too bad I wouldn't be entirely surprised if moc remains.

Carbon Language: An experimental successor to C++
> it's possible to do Qt without moc even in C++ with https://github.com/woboq/verdigris/, why wouldn't it be possible from D ?
You're talking about an entirely different thing. While OP was referring to the current state of D's ecosystem and the impact that missing key frameworks have on hindering adoption, you're arguing about the theoretical possibility of writing a framework with a language, which really does not address OP's point.

GUI for software, not games, but lighter than Qt ?
And much more importantly, MOC specifically is a code generator which has a competitor without the code generation requirement. Fully compatible even. So no, sorry "Qt is bad because MOC" stopped being an argument years ago (if it ever was).
