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.

A portable, modern regular expression language
Why don't languages have grok patterns in their standard libraries?
It seems to only exist in log parsing ecosystems but this really helps with getting rid of little bugs and wrong parsing of specific regex patterns.
Instead of doing "^\d+(\.\d+){3}$" for IP checking which is clearly wrong, you'd do "%{IPV4:ip}" which is so much better.
List of known patterns : https://github.com/hpcugent/logstash-patterns/blob/master/fi...
Even for PHP a third party library only has 15 stars.

Writing an effective GROK pattern
Also, some of the patterns can be referred from https://github.com/hpcugent/logstash-patterns/blob/master/files/grok-patterns I personally prefer the above link for constructing grok pattern.

A portable, modern regular expression language
I agree with you. I got tired of fighting with regex where I got to the point of simply not using it if at all possible.
A comment further up offered a very promising alternative.

It's a bit verbose, but I don't care anymore, I am too much a veteran to care about my code being sleek, I want it readable and workable.
