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.

[noob here] What are the advantages of Lua?
- Luajit +FFI is the fastest, cleanest way to integrate C libs into a script. Its insane how nice it is - should be illegal :). - Lua meta tables/methods are the most under stated capability of Lua. These mechanisms allow Lua to really work like a large scale HLL. Heck you can event make a language in it! Want Lua to look like C/JS? https://github.com/mingodad/ljs There are many like this. :) - Luajit fixed at 5.2 API means its _not_ _going_ _to_ _break_ when you bring in libraries. One of my biggest pet peeves are people that think languages should always change - I think you need to read Linus's thoughts on moving ABI's any why its dumb. - If you dont like the lang, embed Lua into another lang, and then just use it for "parts" you need it for. Most of the game and sim systems I built, used this method (some with SWIG).

Ask HN: What are some tools / libraries you built yourself?
I created Lua with C/C++/Java/Javascript syntax https://github.com/mingodad/ljs
Also forked a scripting language https://github.com/mingodad/squilu and extended it to accept a pseudo C++/Java/CSharp/Typescript syntax to make easy to reuse code and have fast iteration when creating new functions (with it and minor changes I could get https://ssw.jku.at/Research/Projects/Coco/ parser to work for easy grammar development).
Create a tool for create, document and prototype database applications at "user level" in near realtime (live) https://github.com/mingodad/db-api-server.
Extended GLPK to accept a bigger subset of AMPL and made some performance improvements in the GMPL interpreter https://github.com/mingodad/GLPK

Ask HN: What are some tools / libraries you built yourself?
I build a logging library for Go, because I couldn't find one that logs to stdout AND stderr. If you used a logging lib on GCP for example, all log output went into the same pile of junk and it was hard to find "real" errors: https://github.com/emvi/logbuch
Then there is "null", also because I couldn't find one that got both, marshalling to JSON and be able to store null values in db: https://github.com/emvi/null
And finally, our "flagship" open-source project Pirsch, an embedded library for web analytics: https://github.com/pirsch-analytics/pirsch
