The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
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.

Turtle: Ninja build system clone in Rust
Awesome! I'm excited about projects like this and https://github.com/michaelmelanson/fab-rs .

Debian Running on Rust Coreutils
Someone is working on this, and could use help: https://github.com/michaelmelanson/fab-rs
I would love to see this completed to the point of passing the GNU make testsuite. Having make as a modular library would be wildly useful.

b2 for C++?
Yes, this is a common stumbling block for users with the CMake background. The underlying reason is that build2 is a "multi-repo first" build system while CMake is "mono-repo first" (or perhaps even "mono-repo only"; I don't think there were repositories as we know them when Autotools was designed ;-)). In particular, in build2 it's common to build multiple independent projects/repositories in a shared build configuration. Putting this build configuration as a subdirectory of source directory of one of them would be strange. You can read more on this in this issue: https://github.com/build2/build2/issues/187

build2 IDE support?
build2 can generate Clang compilation database (currently indirectly): https://github.com/build2/build2/issues/96 I believe quite a few IDEs (including CLion) can work off that.
