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.

Ask HN: Does anyone here use Haxe?
I used it on conjunction with OpenFL a few months ago to port a Flash project. My impression is Haxe itself is a pretty solid as a language but I could only get the web-based target to work consistently. The C++ backend seems dead based on the repo activity[1] and I got GC-related crashes with no workaround. I could never get the native Android support working either since it crashed on startup.
Also OpenFL was missing some Flash features the project relied on and I had to spend a lot of time on a fork of their repos patching them in.

Are there any recent benchmarks of compiled haxe vs C++?
There's lots of features but very little documentation, so you learn features by reading tests and source code. OK for advanced devs, not great for most however

Haxe 4.2.0 released
Since I've got current pet hobby regarding static compiles (Zig is good friend at this point, the cached static cross-platform output C compiles via musl is crazy good!) I has to look up if Haxe supports this, turns out yes* when targeting C++.

Haxe 4.2.0 released
For 5 of the targets, debugging the Haxe sources is supported with different VSCode debug adapters (well, JS just uses source maps). If your code is written in a target-agnostic way, you can even switch to a different target with better debugging support temporarily.
https://github.com/vshaxe/vshaxe/wiki/Debugging
Other than that, if really you need to debug some target-specific issue on a target without debugging support, there's usually still the option of debugging the generated code.
