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.

Why does the example gtk application not compile?
No bug, he just did not do a #head install with "nimble install gintro@#head". See https://github.com/StefanSalewski/gintro/issues/214

Choosing Nim out of a crowded market for systems programming languages
I have done non-trivial things both in Rust and Nim. For big projects Rust seems a little more robust, but for medium and small projects Nim is an order of magnitude faster to develop for. There are still many rough edges, but it's exactly the tradeoffs I would personally pick for my one person small business making tools for artists. So far I have been using Rust and it's alright, but looking very much into Nim to see if I can replace Rust because of the high cognitive load to keep all of the Rust stuff in my head, as I don't really need safety.
Shout out to https://github.com/StefanSalewski/gintro which was super simple to build a simple GUI tool. With Rust I have no idea what to use after trying 5 different libraries.
The downside of Nim seems to be highly unpredictable performance in my experience. With Rust it's much easier to control. This might be a deal-breaker unless I can find some solution to it. Maybe it's just using it more than two weeks and learning the ropes.

What are some alternatives?
denim - Node 💖 Nim = Denim! Build powerful NodeJS / BunJS addons with Nim language via Node API (NAPI)
mysitemap - generating sitemap.xml for static content sites, alongwith some dynamic links support
rust - Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.
Nim - Nim is a statically typed compiled systems programming language. It combines successful concepts from mature languages like Python, Ada and Modula. Its design focuses on efficiency, expressiveness, and elegance (in that order of priority).
