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.

vimscript over lua
As for writing plugins though, Lua beats Vim script any time of the day. I wrote info.vim back in the early days and it was a major pain to write in Vim script. If I had to redo it today I would 100% write it in Lua.

plugin annoncement - nvlime
Yeah, mapping a function instead of a mapping is even better. I just don't like if a predefined mapping is hard to remember or (even worse) conflicts with one of my existing mappings. Personally I like it the way Neovim's LSP client does it: you get a Lua (or Vim script) API that you can map yourself. In my info.vim I provide the commands :InfoNext, :InfoPrev and :InfoUp, but I also have a code snippet of reasonable default bindings in my README that people can just copy-past into their configuration. If they disagree with my defaults they can then change that snippet instead of having to fight my plugin to scrub away the defaults.

Man pages in color, with links
I think we're all aware of the Man plugin, What I really want is info.vim being distributed by default aswell.

Future plans for Autotools
A wiki is not adequate documentation and I hate this trend of making documentation HTML only. Not everyone uses or even can use a web browser. GNU software has this great tool called Texinfo which lets you write a proper book-sized documentation with proper table of contents, chapters, and indexes. You can generate HTML, PDF, and most importantly info files. You can read info files in your terminal, in Emacs, or even in Vim (wrote a plugin for that).

Hired: A Modern Take on 'Ed'
That’s the same as bat:[1] one of the features is syntax highlighting. Kind of unexpected to find a concatenation program… which also does that.

Ugrep – a more powerful, ultra fast, user-friendly, compatible grep
Good find, thanks! I'll check if I prefer it to moar.
As for bat, according to https://github.com/sharkdp/bat#using-bat-on-windows, the Chocolatey package simply installs `less` alongside `bat`. Seems like a good idea, but I haven't tried it.

Tell HN: Please don't print –help to stderr in your CLI tools
For this reason I have a zsh function in my .zshrc with bat (which pages by default, if it's longer than your console height):
