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.

enum_name (yet another enum to/from string conversion utility >=C++11)
On the topic of this kind of hackflection willwray/enum_traits uses an interesting trick where they improve buildtime performance by doing the __PRETTY_FUNCTION__/__FUNCSIG__/std::source_location::current().function_name() inside a variadic templated function to do the name conversion for a batch of integers at the same time to make it less expensive (compiletime) to test a large range of numbers.

Behind the magic of magic_enum
I can't keep up! First we have better enum, then some guy at a conference says we have to use wise enum instead, and now you speak of magic enum!

which concerns of the game dev industry does the committee NOT address ?
There are already several working, well-known and used hacks mechanisms available to reflect on enums. For example, magic enum, wise enum, Boost.Describe, and so on.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing enum_traits and wise_enum you can also consider the following projects:
Better Enums - C++ compile-time enum to string, iteration, in a single header file
Magic Enum C++ - Static reflection for enums (to string, from string, iteration) for modern C++, work with any enum type without any macro or boilerplate code
enum_reflect - A demo repo for enum_traits
blender-tools - 🐵 Embark Addon for Blender
enum_name - Converting (scoped)enum values to string names written in C++>=11.
libCat - 🐈⬛ A runtime for C++26 w/out libC or POSIX. Smaller binaries, only arena allocators, SIMD, stronger type safety than STL, and value-based errors!
