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.

TIL C99 has a string char limit of 4095.
Yeah, exactly. I’ve seen several programs which do this, usually as a way to avoid an expensive file read at startup (at the expense of a slightly larger binary). This Go library is a good example.

What is the preferred way to package static files (html/css/js) along with your standalone binary in 2020?
https://github.com/jteeuwen/go-bindata is the original go-bindata, but it is unmaintained, so there are several forks of it; IMO shuLhan/go-bindata is the best maintained, but go-bindata/go-bindata has the most stars because it has the best SEO-foo.

The bindata package that samhw linked goes further by walking a whole directory and embedding it all, supplying a function that maps from pathname to file contents. Looks like it returns an Option> though [1] which means it must be copying the file contents each time. I don't know why they didn't just return a &'static [u8] instead.
There's another crate includedir which looks more popular. It also supports compression. But if the file is stored in compressed form, looks like it also will (decompress/)copy into a fresh Vec, whether you request the uncompressed or compressed forms. [2] That's not what I would like.
I could use a high-quality implementation of this same idea. Personally I don't get using it for a personal blog (I'd rather be able to change the content without recompiling/restarting), but on my todo list is producing a zero-dependency, single-binary form of software I'm working on, including its web interface. I might end up writing my own.
