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.

Nim v2.0 Released
Nim's default json library is terrible in performance, but there're much faster drop-in replacements like jsony[1]. I'm not sure that's the main issue for low rank, but it's definitely one of them.

Why I enjoy using the Nim programming language at Reddit.
One of the fastest things I have written in Nim is a JSON parsing library. Why is it fast? Well, it uses Nim’s metaprogramming to parse JSON directly into typed objects without any intermediate representations or any unnecessary memory allocations. This means I can skip parsing JSON into a dictionary representation and then converting from the dictionaries to the real typed objects.

Nim vs Python: json serialization performance
The nim stdlib's json(due to how it works) is relatively slow. Jsony Jason are some alternatives that are more performant and speeeedy.

C23: A Slightly Better C
You don't want nimterop, you want futhark (https://github.com/PMunch/futhark).
The C FFI Nim library lineage goes c2nim --> nimterop --> something i forgot --> futhark.

Ones that have not been mentioned so far:
nlvm is an unofficial LLVM backend: https://github.com/arnetheduck/nlvm
npeg lets you write PEGs inline in almost normal PEG notation: https://github.com/zevv/npeg
futhark provides for much more automatic C interop: https://github.com/PMunch/futhark

questionable provides a lot of syntax sugar surrounding Option/Result types: https://github.com/codex-storage/questionable
ratel is a framework for embedded programming: https://github.com/PMunch/ratel
cps allows arbitrary procedure rewriting to continuation passing style: https://github.com/nim-works/cps
chronos is an alternative async/await backend: https://github.com/status-im/nim-chronos
zero-functional fixes some inefficiencies when chaining list operations: https://github.com/zero-functional/zero-functional

Why does Nim "wrap" C, rather than allow C code to be pasted directly to .nim files?
Have a look at Futhark . It does what you are requesting.

Current Goals for Nim?
I'm not sure if Nimterop was created specifically to make Nim more mainstream. We have quite a couple different C/C++ interop tools, from c2nim in the core distribution to something like Futhark which automatically wraps things based on libclang.

Nim -- a modern "glue" language like Python
c2nim is a tool to translate ANSI C code to Nim. The output is human-readable Nim code that is meant to be tweaked by hand after the translation process. If you are tired of wrapping C library, you can try futhark which supports "simply import C header files directly into Nim". Similar to futhark, cinterop allows one to interop with C/C++ code without having to create wrappers. nimLUA is a glue code generator to bind Nim and Lua together using Nim's powerful macro. nimpy and nimporter is a bridge between Nim and Python. rnim is a bridge between R and Nim. nimjl is a bridge between Nim and Julia! Last but not least, genny generates a shared library and bindings for many languages such as Python, Node.js, C.
