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.

Retro: A Modern, Pragmatic Forth
I'm slowly working on one. The repo is a mess and the examples don't actually run (they're sketches of where I'm trying to go; the unit tests in the Zig source are a better idea of where I'm actually at so far), but I'm attempting to slap a "minimum viable "does this shape align with this other shape" type of type system" onto a loosely-FORTH-inspired stack machine with some modern amenities with Gale. https://sr.ht/~klardotsh/gale/ (or for the GitHub fans, https://github.com/klardotsh/gale)

Bog – small, strongly typed, embeddable language
Looking at the two of them, both awesome projects, not a competition but here are a few things I noticed. Cyber seems to have pretty good documentation (maybe Bog does too but I didn't find too much from the readme. For example, you can see Bog has a GC and its standard library supports JSON, but memory management and non-scalar data structures aren't mentioned in the Bog readme).
Cyber also seems to be under more active development at the moment.

If you made a library in Zig. Could you use that library inside C? (and by extension, almost all programming languages, since most languages support C libraries to some extent)
Check bog for a real life example https://github.com/vexu/bog
