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.

Config as code — am I doing it wrong?
You can project along these lines to find the intersection, at which a change in configuration is just another effect to manage, and realize that, if you use a configuration representation that supports some sort of publish-and-subscribe "watching" system—like, say, the filesystem in Java since Java 7, or pretty much every key/value store since the early 2000s—you can write a purely functional configuration system that supports multiple kinds of representations, including distributed ones like Zookeeper, and propagates configuration changes via streams without the need to even restart the system.

Config as code — am I doing it wrong?
At simultaneous points in time, "config" has become more risky (i.e. been used to outright change the behavior of the software, e.g. with... "feature flags," AKA "bugs not waiting to happen") while purely functional programming has made the behavior of the software more predictable (with managed effects, surfacing failures as values of types obeying some algebra like everything else in the system, etc.) This is one of the—usually unstated—reasons "config as code" has arisen. Another one is the realization that config files don't have types to speak of (yes, I know about Dhall), whereas your programming language does.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing knobs and dhallj you can also consider the following projects:
izanami - Izanami is a centralized versatile feature flag solution, well suited for micro service architectures.
Configurate - A simple configuration library for Java applications providing a node structure, a variety of formats, and tools for transformation
etcd - Distributed reliable key-value store for the most critical data of a distributed system
net.cactusthorn.config - Configuration library based on annotation processing
DSL-JSON - High performance JVM JSON library
