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.

Is APL Dead?
Does trying to build a Youtube channel around J count as professional?
I've been livestreaming a presentation tool / time-travelling REPL for J for a few months now:
https://github.com/tangentstorm/j-prez
It hasn't paid anything directly yet, but my videos probably helped me land my current job.
At work, I use another APL-inspired language called K.

Learning Common Lisp to beat Java and Rust on a phone encoding problem
I have a bunch of links to ML material for either APL or J. I don't know of any particular library for J. J is interpreted, so it is not as fast as other implementations. I am mainly using it to experiment on concepts and teach myself more ML in J because of the iterative nature of the REPL, and the succinct code. I can keep what's going on in my head, and glance at less than 100 lines, usually 15 lines, of code to refresh it.
There is a series of videos of learning neural networks in APL cited by others here on this thread.
Pandas author, Wes McKinney, cited J as an influence in his work on Pandas.
