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.

Nim v2.0 Released
Congratulations to everyone involved and the entire Nim community!
Nim has been my language of choice for the past decade and I'm really happy with the new features in Nim 2.0. Some of them are real gamechangers for my projects. For example, default values for objects theoretically allow me to make Norm[1] work with object types along with object instances. And the new overloadable enums is something Karkas [2] wouldn't be possible at all (it's still WIP though).

Nim Version 1.6 Released
In the ORM field, Norm[1] is an actively maintained package that supports SQLite and Postgres. It's framework agnostic, I've used it with Jester and Prologue (it had nothing to do with Prolog btw).
Among frameworks, Prologue is the most actively developed and feature rich.

C23: A Slightly Better C
You don't want nimterop, you want futhark (https://github.com/PMunch/futhark).
The C FFI Nim library lineage goes c2nim --> nimterop --> something i forgot --> futhark.

Nim v2.0 Released
Ones that have not been mentioned so far:
nlvm is an unofficial LLVM backend: https://github.com/arnetheduck/nlvm
npeg lets you write PEGs inline in almost normal PEG notation: https://github.com/zevv/npeg
futhark provides for much more automatic C interop: https://github.com/PMunch/futhark

questionable provides a lot of syntax sugar surrounding Option/Result types: https://github.com/codex-storage/questionable
ratel is a framework for embedded programming: https://github.com/PMunch/ratel
cps allows arbitrary procedure rewriting to continuation passing style: https://github.com/nim-works/cps
chronos is an alternative async/await backend: https://github.com/status-im/nim-chronos
zero-functional fixes some inefficiencies when chaining list operations: https://github.com/zero-functional/zero-functional
owlkettle is a declarative macro-oriented library for GTK: https://github.com/can-lehmann/owlkettle

Why does Nim "wrap" C, rather than allow C code to be pasted directly to .nim files?
Have a look at Futhark . It does what you are requesting.

Current Goals for Nim?
I'm not sure if Nimterop was created specifically to make Nim more mainstream. We have quite a couple different C/C++ interop tools, from c2nim in the core distribution to something like Futhark which automatically wraps things based on libclang.

Nim -- a modern "glue" language like Python
c2nim is a tool to translate ANSI C code to Nim. The output is human-readable Nim code that is meant to be tweaked by hand after the translation process. If you are tired of wrapping C library, you can try futhark which supports "simply import C header files directly into Nim". Similar to futhark, cinterop allows one to interop with C/C++ code without having to create wrappers. nimLUA is a glue code generator to bind Nim and Lua together using Nim's powerful macro. nimpy and nimporter is a bridge between Nim and Python. rnim is a bridge between R and Nim. nimjl is a bridge between Nim and Julia! Last but not least, genny generates a shared library and bindings for many languages such as Python, Node.js, C.
