The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
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.

Branching on constraints (if-instance), applications
Sam Derbyshire has a cool type-checking plugin called if-instance that lets you branch on whether a constraint is satisfied with the following interface:
- Different `Num` instances based on availability of another instance.

How do I define this super-unsafe type class (not internally consistent at all 😱)
/u/presheaf has a more modern version using a GHC plugin: https://github.com/sheaf/if-instance

Quantified, overlapping type family equations
I just put up a library that allows branching on whether a constraint is satisfied, using a type-checking plugin. There's also a type-family IsSat, which works as in the OP. Let me know what you think!

Monthly Hask Anything (August 2022)
Even the IfCtx "tricks" and stuff like /u/Noughtmare's post don't resolve the constraints at runtime. The constraints are still resolved statically, you just carry around a (constant) token that indicates how compile-time resolution went.

What are some alternatives?
When comparing if-instance and ifcxt you can also consider the following projects:
