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.

fulcrologic/guardrails: spec as a loose type checker
big fan of fulcro logic, but isn’t this almost identical to https://github.com/gnl/ghostwheel ?

Python dataclass equivalent
if all you care about is information / documentation, and maybe validation, then spec or malli are fine. using spec during runtime to simulate a type system is a poor choice in most cases, because you are doing runtime type checking (something akin to dependent types or even esoteric contracts that are hard/impossible to express statically). There are some libs that help bolt a typed facade (using spec) onto the familiar defn / fn, https://github.com/gnl/ghostwheel https://github.com/Provisdom/defn-spec .

More concise spec definitions
I'd like to use a syntax like how ::input-correlations-concise is defined, but am having trouble debugging the spec-tools.data-spec error ("Unable to resolve spec: :app.specs/input-correlations-concise") after setting it up with these instructions. I also want to make sure I'm doing things the "right" way.

Python dataclass equivalent
I like spec-tools data specs. I never got into schema, although I was aware of it. spec came along and swept a substantial portion of the crowd (I think the interleaving of parsing and regex style operators is slick/useful). Malli looks excellent though, and I think it's worthy of learning. I have no opinion on spec2 as of yet.
