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's your go to platform for developing with WebGPU?
It's using a Dawn a couple months out of date, but there's this: https://github.com/hexops/mach-gpu-dawn

zig-gamedev: audio experiments sample app (wgpu, cross-platfrom)
When reading "wgpu", I wondered if it used the WebGPU implementation of the same name (wgpu) rather than Dawn. It may be worth changing mentions of "wgpu" to "WebGPU" in zgpu (and these titles) similar to how its dependency, mach-gpu-dawn, uses these names,

Zig, the Small Language
The fanaticism of Rust devs makes me think it's probably massively overrated (see Node yesterday and Ruby/Rails the day before) and Go is associated by Google which gets a perhaps unfair but still unignorable knee-jerk reaction from me to avoid it.
I don't know enough about Nim to pass judgment.
Two reasons I decided to give Zig a try: The official chat channel is on IRC, instead of Discord or Slack (so the people involved care about efficiency, open standards, and avoiding trends/bandwagoning), and it has an early but promising-looking Swift UI-like cross-platform UI framework in development: https://github.com/capy-ui/capy

Any recommendation for GUI
I’ve been making Capy (https://github.com/capy-ui/capy) which allows to code once and cross-compile to Windows, Linux, (macOS in the future) and even WebAssembly. It also have support for DataWrapper which allows to easily make animations, and much more.
What are some alternatives?
wgpu - Cross-platform, safe, pure-rust graphics api.
libui - Simple and portable (but not inflexible) GUI library in C that uses the native GUI technologies of each platform it supports.
zig-clap - Simple command line argument parsing library
zgl - Zig OpenGL Wrapper
zig-gamedev - Main monorepo for @zig-gamedev libs and example applications
zig-gamekit - Companion repo for zig-renderkit for making 2D games
mach - zig game engine & graphics toolkit
webview - Tiny cross-platform webview library for C/C++. Uses WebKit (GTK/Cocoa) and Edge WebView2 (Windows).
gpuweb - Where the GPU for the Web work happens!
microzig - Unified abstraction layer and HAL for several microcontrollers
mecha - A parser combinator library for Zig
nappgui_src - SDK for building cross-platform desktop apps in ANSI-C
