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.

The KDL Document Language
To me it looks amazing, and I was literally about to adopt it in one of my open source Rust-based projects, but then I realized that the Rust version (and only the Rust version) is restrictively licensed under the Parity Public License [1].
I want my open source project to be able to be used in commercial applications, and don't want any of my dependencies' licenses to restrict that.

XL: An Extensible Programming Language
IMO, there’s a wide unexplored design space between the minimalism of Lisp and richness of other languages. A programming language inspired by something like KDL (https://github.com/kdl-org/kdl) has the potential to be in a very sweet spot between the two. "Everything is a node" instead of "everything is a list" is only slightly more complicated, but also vastly more readable that a soup of parenthesis.

Parsing JSON is a Minefield 💣 (2018)
Either way I've got high hopes for KDL becoming the new gold standard for clean, flexible data formats that are editable by hand.

The KDL Document Language
I'd love to understand why all the advertised implementations have permissive licenses except for the Rust implementation, which is released under the Parity Public License 7.0.0 [1]? This seems to be as restrictive as the GPL, no?
In my mind, copyleft licenses applied to infrastructural projects like kdl-rs prematurely limits their adoption and promotes the development of alternatives with more permissive licensing, since the spec is released under a Creative Commons license [2].
