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.

Xonsh: Python-powered, cross-platform, Unix-gazing shell
https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jc - "CLI tool and python library that converts the output of popular command-line tools, file-types, and common strings to JSON, YAML, or Dictionaries. This allows piping of output to tools like jq and simplifying automation scripts."

Gooey: Turn almost any Python command line program into a full GUI application
> I'd love to see programs communicate through a typed JSON/proto format that shed enough details to make this more independent, and get useful shell command structuring/completion or full blown GUIs from simply introspecting the expected input and output types.
You should try PowerShell. It's basically Microsoft's .NET ecosystem molded into an interactive command line. I'm not entirely sure if PoweShell can make full use of the static types that build up its core, but its ability to exchange objects in the command line is almost unmatched.
On Linux you can use `jc` (https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jc) combined with `jq` (https://jqlang.github.io/jq/) to glue together command lines.

jq 1.7 Released
In addition to my previous comment about jq-like tools, I want to share a couple other interesting tools, which I use alongside jq are jo [0] and jc [1].

The Case for Nushell
> I wanted to write some wrappers for the standard commands that automatically did all this via `jq`.
If you're not already aware of it, you may wish to check out `jc`[0] which describes itself as a "CLI tool and python library that converts the output of popular command-line tools, file-types, and common strings to JSON, YAML, or Dictionaries. This allows piping of output to tools like jq..."
The `jc` documentation[1] & parser[2] for `ls` also demonstrates that reliable & cross-platform parsing of even "basic" commands can be non-trivial.

jc: Converts the output of popular command-line tools to JSON
> In FreeBSD, this problem was solved with libxo[0]:
Libxo happens to be in the base system, but it is generally available:

* https://libxo.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
- Libxo: The Easy Way to Generate Text, XML, JSON, and HTML Output

Getting work done with PowerShell on Linux
Or make it flexible:
> libxo - A Library for Generating Text, XML, JSON, and HTML Output
* https://github.com/Juniper/libxo/
* https://wiki.freebsd.org/LibXo
Want structure? Ask for JSON or XML and parse. Otherwise it's the regular text output.

Jc – JSONifies the output of many CLI tools
Can you trust it? Cli tool output is not exactly stable. I thought that's why libxo exists?

Curl gets a --json flag
Please consider https://github.com/Juniper/libxo or something even better than that.

You shouldn't parse the output of ls(1)
That would look a lot like FreeBSD. Many of the FreeBSD userland tools are set up to use the excellent libxo (https://github.com/Juniper/libxo) to allow the user's choice of how things are output.
