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: Is Elixir Still Relevant?
> libraries can be created and not need constant breaking updates.
Yeah, but I've been traumatized by the Javascript ecosystem where a library can end up abandoned any day without warning.
> As an Elixir developer, I never go to Awesome Elixir to search for libraries.
I needed a full implementation of the iCalendar RFC (including recurrence rules), this is a solved problem in Go, Python and Javascript, but not in Elixir.
And I didn't want to spend weeks on partially implementing that huge RFC.
I ended up using Rambo[1] and an external binary in Go that I ship with my release in a Docker image.
I set up a build system based on Makefiles to build everything properly, and compile-time configuration per environment to locate the binary.

Mixing sync and async views in the same application
As for embedded... I've only dabbled. Yeah you're not going to run Elixir on an Arduino or other very minimal bare metal embedded processor. But the Nerves Project (https://nerves-project.org/) which runs Elixir directly on SBCs is very well regarded. But either way it doesn't matter, since I thought we were talking about web dev, which is where Phoenix and Elixir just make more sense, for me.

what is the common usage of elixir
For me particularly I like it for things like APIs, Web Platforms (lower resource usage than other languages), and embedded devices via Nerves. However I've also used it on my endpoints to monitor them via Erlang's built in os_mon. Another usage is the distributed nature of erlang can allow you to do things like connect two nodes and run code on a remote node via remote procedure calls. This would allow you to execute something in a nearby geolocated node and reduce latency. Fly.io did a talk on this feature.
