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.

Fornjot: A next-generation Code-CAD application
https://gitlab.com/Michael-F-Bryan/arcs
All of this is very ambitious and I look forward to a day when a good CAD system written in Rust is readily available.
In the mean time I shall keep plugging away at the Solvespace C++ code:

Fornjot: A next-generation Code-CAD application
Fornjot is architected to be language-agnostic. Rust is just the easiest language to support, given that the rest of the project is written in it too.
I (author of Fornjot) don't have any near-term plans to add support for other languages, but I hope that people will start experimenting (and someone already has: https://github.com/WeirdConstructor/Fornjot/tree/wlambda_int...).
What are some alternatives?
truck - Truck is a Rust CAD Kernel.
ruststep - A STEP toolkit for Rust
CascadeStudio - A Full Live-Scripted CAD Kernel in the Browser
arcade - A rust CAD engine (NURBS kernel)
opencascade.js - Port of the OpenCascade CAD library to JavaScript and WebAssembly via Emscripten.
Kind - A next-gen functional language [Moved to: https://github.com/Kindelia/Kind2]
openscad - OpenSCAD - The Programmers Solid 3D CAD Modeller
stepcode - STEPcode (formerly NIST's STEP Class Library) is used with IFC, STEP, and other standards that utilize the technologies of ISO10303 (STEP). It generates C++ and Python from EXPRESS (10303-11) schemas. The code is capable of reading and writing STEP Part 21 exchange files. It also utilizes Parts 22 and 23 (SDAI and its C++ binding).
