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.

Cpp2 and cppfront – An experimental 'C++ syntax 2' and its first compiler
Any good CMake integration besides https://github.com/modern-cmake/cppfront?
-
Good reasons to NOT use CMake
For another example, the CMake wrapper I wrote for cppfront automatically translates .cpp2 files to .cpp. This is simply impossible in Meson which, again, requires end-users to find the cppfront binary, write a generator rule, and then run it.

Using cppfront with Meson
And this is the equivalent CMake code using the modern-cmake/cppfront project:
