The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
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.

Lack Imagination to build own projects
Sometimes rebuilding something that already exists can be very useful! For example, a bzip2 compressor/decompressor already exists, but a memory-safe one doesn't. The maintainer has started porting to Rust, but ultimately didn't have the time. If you rebuild bzip2 in Rust, that will be a very valuable project!

Bzip2 upstream started an incremental Rust port, but it seems the upstream maintainers are busy with other projects. Help would be welcome.
