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.

What are the current hot topics in type theory and static analysis?
Coroutines, async/await and general multicore support in the type system. Most languages by now either have some variant of async / await (JavaScript, Kotlin, Swift, Rust) or super-lightweight threads (Go, Elixir, Java via Project Loom), or they just have Monads which supersede coroutines entirely (Haskell, Scala). It's at the point where some say a language isn't suitable for production if it doesn't have good multicore support (also see Rust speeding through getting async/await even though they already have Send + Sync). Even Python and C++ have coroutines now, and of course there is a coroutine library for C which uses macros and low-level magic.

What are the current hot topics in type theory and static analysis?
I would add that Equality saturation/E-graphs has become quite a hot topic recently, since their POPL21 paper, with workshops dedicated to applications of e-graphs. They have even recently been added to Cranelift as an IR for optimizations.

Blog Post: Next Rust Compiler
I think with Cranelift's investment into an e-graph based optimizer (https://github.com/bytecodealliance/rfcs/blob/main/accepted/cranelift-egraph.md) they are well positioned to have quite competitive performance as a backend.

Inko in 2023
They're also actively working in this area, for example the recently added equality saturation framework and the pattern matching DSL it builds on.
