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.

Help finding layout for multiple languages
Regarding evaluating, comparing and potentially even optimizing layouts, I would recommend my keyboard layout optimizer.

Critique my layout! Switching from Dvorak to an auto-generated layout optimized for an otholinear keyboard
I recently got a new ergonomic keyboard, after just typing on my laptop for years. I've used an ErgoDox before, so I went with the Moonlander. While configuring the keyboard and playing with the location of the spacebar, I realized that putting it on the right hand side resulted in a really bad balance between the two hands – it seemed like dvorak was way more right-hand dominant, and that was confirmed when I started looking into it. Went down the rabbit hole of alternate keyboard layouts, and found this repo: https://github.com/dariogoetz/keyboard_layout_optimizer . You can specify the physical configuration of your keyboard and provide a sample text, and it will generate layouts for you, using simulated annealing or a genetic algorithm. Here's a screenshot of the generated layout, along with Dvorak on the bottom:

Genetically Optimized Keyboard Layout
That's very interesting. I tried a genetic algorithm myself for my optimizer. In the end, I removed the crossover part, but mainly because I did not understand, how exactly it worked :)
-
Looking for optimal layout for specific key choices/Customizable layout generator
You can find the code for the evaluator here. Apart from my own set of metrics, it includes the ones used in KLAnext and also the ones from Oxey's layout playground (with some caveats).

A little help with my overthinking please
Regarding an evaluator with support for multiple layers that can be user-configured, supports "classical" hold layers as well as one-shot layers, and modifiers on "any key" (think home-row mods), I can advertise my own evaluator/optimizer https://github.com/dariogoetz/keyboard_layout_optimizer Saves you some time on a new project ;)

Yet another keyboard layout evaluator/optimizer
I want to introduce a pet project of mine that I have been working on in the last year - a keyboard layout evaluator/optimizer: https://github.com/dariogoetz/keyboard_layout_optimizer

Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here! (39/2022)!
Rust’s standard library is relatively small by design and doesn’t contain any tools for numeric integration. However, you can probably find a crate on crates.io that does what you need. A quick search suggests Peroxide.

Is rust good for mathematical computing?
peroxide seems really cool, but I haven't had the opportunity to use it much yet.

Filling up gaps in the ecosystem
peroxide covers some of this area. It could work as a starting point for something in the ML or probabilistic programming domains.
