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.

APL deserves its Renaissance too
> Its powerful array manipulation primitives can easily be brought forward into a language with modern syntax, and haven't they?
Kind of. The languages that one might expect to do this (Julia, R, NumPy) have picked out a few things from APL in an inconsistent way, leaving a lot as well. For example most are missing the generalization of prefix sum that APL calls "scan". So in [0], Conor was able to translate some code to every APL-family language but not yet any of the ones that aren't directly APL-influenced. Another one, I don't think I've ever seen Replicate[1] outside the APL family. It's a generalization of filter to take an arbitrary count instead of 0 or 1 that's often useful if you know about it.
