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.

I asked GPT-4 what top 5 improvements it would make to the PHP language to make it more competitive
A lot of this can be handled in userland. For examples libraries such as https://github.com/lstrojny/functional-php/blob/main/docs/functional-php.md handle a lot of this.

How do I become a better dev?
I’m also trying to use all of these at least once or twice to have these tools under my belt should I want them https://github.com/lstrojny/functional-php

PHP 8.2 Released
https://github.com/lstrojny/functional-php
The no-brainers to me are the missing array_some()/array_any() array_every()/array_all() and an array_search() that takes a predicate an iterable. I do these now in userland but an optimized native version would be nice.

PHP Map - PHP arrays and collections made easy
Functional PHP, which provides a lot of similar functionality, also uses pluck and has for many years https://github.com/lstrojny/functional-php

Simple Composition with Array.Reduce
While looking at functional-php, I saw a pretty neat way of doing composition with an array_reduce method, and wanted to recreate it in JavaScript. There are plenty of libraries that implement this (and do so more effectively), but it's pretty fun knowing that you can get this functionality with a couple lines of plain JavaScript.

PHP Map v2.6 - Collections made easy
I much prefer the https://github.com/nikic/iter approach for doing some collection magic, which is essentially based upon traversable and generator magic which doesn't create temporary in-memory data structures but works on item streams instead.

Iterator functions package released
What about https://github.com/nikic/iter ?

Is any one actually using PHP generators in their projects?
Yes. We used it heavily when processing large amounts of data from huge API responses. I like how the whole processing chain can be built on top of it, for example using nikic/iter. Generators are also the heart of a low-memory JSON parsing library halaxa/json-machine, which I maintain, and many other similar projects.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Functional PHP and Iter you can also consider the following projects:
RulerZ - Powerful implementation of the Specification pattern in PHP
