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.

We have getrandom at home
This may very well be a bit offtopic in the rust subreddit, but in case you need fast high quality non-crypto PRNG in Go, I've made one that I believe to be decent. It is unfortunate that math/rand is unlikely to significantly improve due to the backward compatibity and can't be recommended for anything non-trivial.

Alternative to math/rand and golang.org/x/exp/rand
I got a bit stuck trying to find a set of good permutation functions for all required bit widths; I've created an issue to collect information in one place.

We have getrandom at home
The crypto source in Go is great, no complaints there. Lints like gosec even recommend using it when generating crypto entropy. Go did a good job here, and I expect Rust will do the same sometime after getrandom reaches 1.0 so the API questions are settled, plus whatever makes sense for the future-proofing the standard library needs.

Goast: Generic static analysis for Go Abstract Syntax Tree by OPA/Rego
Various static analysis tools are available for the Go language, and existing static analysis tools can check general best practices. For example, gosec is a tool to check secure Go coding, and I use it myself. However, coding rules in software development are not only based on best practices, but can also be software- or team-specific. For example
