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 software can I use to play around with articulated robots?
Drake and Pinocchio both use the Python interface to Meshcat as an option for visualizing robots, and they can both do the forward kinematics and have visualizer components that place the visual meshes properly relative to the computed frames, but both of those are full-fledged and complex kinematics and dynamics libraries for contact-rich interaction (and more), so the API calls to get a model set up are doing a lot more than providing a visual model you can feed joint angles to.

Brax vs TDS for differentiable rigid body dynamics
I need differentiable rigid body dynamics because I want to do nonlinear MPC. One library that can do this is C++ is Tiny Differentiable Simulator https://github.com/erwincoumans/tiny-differentiable-simulator. As I understand it, this software uses a C++ auto-diff library and code generation to create CUDA kernels to compute fast derivatives in parallel. This seems pretty fast because it's C++. Another option is Brax https://github.com/google/brax. Brax uses JAX which I've never used, but from what I've seen online, JAX is popular for researchers and probably very good.

What Programming language/library to use for 3D visualisation of a robot arm?
Drake (and also tiny-differentiable-simulator that I know of) are using meshcat and it seems neat to me
What are some alternatives?
When comparing meshcat-python and tiny-differentiable-simulator you can also consider the following projects:
Klampt - Kris' Locomotion and Manipulation Planning Toolkit
brax - Massively parallel rigidbody physics simulation on accelerator hardware.
