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.

If I know neither Go or Rust, which do I choose to learn first/only?
But there are other brave people exists like biscuit or gopher-os who can do it :)))
-
Can Go be used for kernel development?
Can it? Yes. Should it? Now that’s up for debate.

The one and only..
golang? https://github.com/gopher-os/gopher-os

random question from a beginner, has anyone written an OS in Go?
I'm sure it would be a fun proof of concept, and there seem to be some projects like https://github.com/gopher-os/gopher-os , but they themselves admit it's just a proof of concept. Every tool has its use.

Go is a nice improvement over C and C++, and it doesn't make me feel dirty like Java does.
I’m pretty the C in the the OS is just the libc that is used for user programs and not part of the actual kernel. There is also gopherOS which contains no C at all. My only point was that it is possible to write one in Go and that Go can be used for low level coding. And I don’t believe you can write an OS in pure python bc it isn’t compiled

Wow that feels real good
Wait. You're not who we asked for

Biscuit 3.0
No, it isn't the third release of a POSIX like OS research written in Go,

Pre-Overengineering
That's something I found in doing a bit of a dive on why ripgrep is so fast at doing a very specific kind of string search workload (Gallant / burntsushi / author of ripgrep is an actual wizard and contributes to Rust's regex engines, for reference). I wrote tiny proof of concepts in a variety of languages, all in my same style -- and sometimes my Go variants were as fast as the equivalent Rust/C (even in release / -O3/2 (every once in a blue moon, O3 makes no diff or is a slight regression in some exec paths)). I eventually found something about benchmarks in a related area, leading to this: https://benhoyt.com/writings/count-words/#performance-results-and-learnings. Somebody on the Go sub even linked me to the Biscuit OS: https://pdos.csail.mit.edu/papers/biscuit.pdf, which, tidbit, has Jon Gjengset (Crust of Rust legend) in the contribs list (https://github.com/mit-pdos/biscuit).

Rust: A Critical Retrospective
Go has been used to implement OS kernel code, e.g. in the Biscuit OS from MIT: https://github.com/mit-pdos/biscuit
Of course, the garbage collector did not exactly make it easier - but it's an interesting piece of software.

https://github.com/mit-pdos/biscuit says 5% slowdown over C. Garbage collection is going to require some more RAM, generally <=2x though.

What are some alternatives?
serenity - The Serenity Operating System 🐞
Cosmos - Cosmos is an operating system "construction kit". Build your own OS using managed languages such as C#, VB.NET, and more!
eggos - A Go unikernel running on x86 bare metal
regex-automata - A low level regular expression library that uses deterministic finite automata.
router7 - router7 is a small home internet router completely written in Go. It is implemented as a gokrazy appliance.
TinyGo - Go compiler for small places. Microcontrollers, WebAssembly (WASM/WASI), and command-line tools. Based on LLVM.
Harbol - Harbol is a collection of data structures and miscellaneous libraries, similar in nature to C++'s Boost, STL, and GNOME's GLib; it is meant to be a smaller and more lightweight collection of data structures, code systems, and convenience software.
snapbox - Snapshot testing for CLIs
mirage - MirageOS is a library operating system that constructs unikernels
usbarmory - USB armory - The open source compact secure computer
