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.

What is an example of non-linear static data structure and what is an accurate breakdown of ds types?
Can create a ton of theoretical examples, but even in practice we use such data structures. An example that first came to mind is gperf which generates static hash table data structure for predefined set of strings (So you cannot add or remove any elements).

Hashtables
gperf is a generator for perfect hash functions. Its documentation has a bibliography that might contain helpful links.
- Quickly checking that a string belongs to a small set
-
Generating the code for an efficient conditional tree to select from a list of strings
I think gperf is what you need. Alternatively cmph.

How to emulate map literals in C?
Adding to this, there are tools such as gperf which are specifically designed for this. Apparently gperf works well for smaller number of keys but not for really high n (> 100,000 ish) and mph apparently works better for larger n.

Nginx 1.26.0 Stable Released
Yeah, unless I'm looking at it wrong, there doesn't seem to be any meaningful difference between 1.25.5 and 1.26.0:

How to securely reverse-proxy ASP.NET Core web apps
However, it's very unlikely that .NET developers will directly expose their Kestrel-based web apps to the internet. Typically, we use other popular web servers like Nginx, Traefik, and Caddy to act as a reverse-proxy in front of Kestrel for various reasons:
- Ask HN: Is nginx.org (the domain-name itself) gone?

Freenginx: Core Nginx Developer Announces Fork of Popular Web Server
> I actually don't understand why I am seeing arguments like this all the time.
Have a look at:
https://github.com/nginx/nginx/blob/master/src/http/modules/...
It's got the whole checklist: nginx idiosyncratic module system, inline parsing, custom utf conversion, buffer preallocation and adjustments, linked lists, comments about side effects of custom allocator, and probably other things.
It's not easy to deal with source like that and any serious improvement to that area would effectively be a rewrite anyway.
Since anything doing work in nginx is a module anyway, it wouldn't even have to be a full rewrite in one go.

The Internet is Maintained by 1 Software Developer
According to this article, nGinx is being used to serve 34% of all websites in the world. I checked out who's contributing to nGinx, and just like I thought, the project has 8,208 commits, and 5,366 of those commits was made by 2 software developers; igorsoev and mdounin.

Web CGI programs aren't particularly slow these days
Apache’s mod_fastcgi’s last commit was 2 weeks ago:
https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpd/httpd/trunk/
It’s a fork of what you linked (and was more popular afaik back when fastcgi was state of the art, and apache was the undisputed champion of web servers).
These days, nginx has more market share than apache, and its fastcgi module is one of the more recently updated ones in its source tree (5 months vs multiple years):
https://github.com/nginx/nginx/tree/master/src/http/modules
If I was going to build an embedded web server, I’d start with nostd rust, probably with though axum + tokio, since thats already memory safe-ish.
If I needed fastcgi for some reason (dynamically loadable endpoints, or os-level isolation), there are at least four implementations of fastcgi for it. No idea if any are decent though.

Five Apache projects you probably didn't know about
APISIX is an API Gateway. It builds upon OpenResty, a Lua layer built on top of the famous nginx reverse-proxy. APISIX adds abstractions to the mix, e.g., Route, Service, Upstream, and offers a plugin-based architecture.
What are some alternatives?
parallel-hashmap - A family of header-only, very fast and memory-friendly hashmap and btree containers.
Caddy - Fast and extensible multi-platform HTTP/1-2-3 web server with automatic HTTPS
meow_hash - Official version of the Meow hash, an extremely fast level 1 hash
envoy - Cloud-native high-performance edge/middle/service proxy
mph - (Fork) Minimal Perfect Hash
Squid - Squid Web Proxy Cache
robin-hood-hashing - Fast & memory efficient hashtable based on robin hood hashing for C++11/14/17/20
nestjs-monorepo-microservices-proxy - Example of how to implement a Nestjs monorepo with no shared folder
encoding - Go package containing implementations of efficient encoding, decoding, and validation APIs.
Hiawatha - Hiawatha is an open source webserver with security, easy to use and lightweight as the three key features. Hiawatha supports among others (Fast)CGI, IPv6, URL rewriting and reverse proxy. It has security features no other webserver has, like blocking SQL injections, XSS and CSRF attacks and exploit attempts. The built-in monitoring tool makes it perfect for large scale deployments.
sourcery - 🧙 A simple but very fast recursive source code spell checker made in C
YARP - A toolkit for developing high-performance HTTP reverse proxy applications.
