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.

Preventing Log4j with Capabilities
> Do you have more to share, like resources about capability-safe languages, or your ongoing work?
I can share an example from the main function of the [self hosting Firefly compiler](https://github.com/Ahnfelt/firefly-boot/tree/master/compiler):
main(system: System): Unit { -
