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.

Salt Exporter: the story behind the tool
I also read that Salt was using MessagePack to format their messages. MessagePack is a format like JSON, but more compact.
- Add extra stuff to a “standard” encoding? Sure, why not
- MessagePack: It's like JSON, but fast and small

mus-go - the fastest Golang serializer today
Sorry, but I don't think it looks like MessagePack. I wonder why you think so? MUS format does not contain a data types, unlike MessagePack. So, for example, the uint8 type in MessagePack can be encoded with two bytes (from the MessagePack specification): uint 8 stores a 8-bit unsigned integer +--------+--------+ | 0xcc |ZZZZZZZZ| +--------+--------+ The same data type in MUS format is encoded with just one byte. This fact alone is quite a significant difference.

Rob Pike: Gobs of data (2011)
Someone made a benchmark of serialization libraries in go [1], and I was surprised to see gobs is one of the slowest ones, specially for decoding. I suspect part of the reason is that the API doesn't not allow reusing decoders [2]. From my explorations it seems like both JSON [3], message-pack [4] and CBOR [5] are better alternatives.
By the way, in Go there are a like a million JSON encoders because a lot of things in the std library are not really coded for maximum performance but more for easy of usage, it seems. Perhaps this is the right balance for certain things (ex: the http library, see [6]).
There are also a bunch of libraries that allow you to modify a JSON file "in place", without having to fully deserialize into structs (ex: GJSON/SJSON [7] [8]). This sounds very convenient and more efficient that fully de/serializing if we just need to change the data a little.

Introducing Tempo: low latency, cross-platform, end-to-end typesafe APIs
The bebop definition specifies fixed-width types inside a struct. The format of structs cannot be changed, but there are efficiency gains by omitting all of the indices and header data. It's useless as the root message, but it's small and fast for a benchmark.

mus-go - the fastest Golang serializer today
Hey everyone! Let me introduce you to mus-go - the fastest Golang serializer today. If you look at benchmarks (https://github.com/alecthomas/go_serialization_benchmarks), you can see that it could be almost twice as fast as its closest "competitor":

gRPC Is Easy to Misconfigure
The protobuf vs msgpack benchmarks are not too bad. Msgpack performs very decently.

Bebop encoding in Go
Maybe submit a PR against https://github.com/alecthomas/go_serialization_benchmarks? That covers a ton of serialization formats already, so adding your library would be cool and avoid wheel reinvention.
What are some alternatives?
salt-exporter - Salt Prometheus exporter working out of the box without any configuration on Salt side. Comes with an event watcher TUI.
encoding - Go package containing implementations of efficient encoding, decoding, and validation APIs.
protobuf-conformance - A repository running the Protobuf conformance tests against various libraries
bebop - 🎷No ceremony, just code. Blazing fast, typesafe binary serialization.
mqtt-exporter - Simple generic MQTT Prometheus exporter for IoT working out of the box
bebop - bebop wire format in Go
go-client - Nvim Go client
msgp - A Go code generator for MessagePack / msgpack.org[Go]
riegeli - Riegeli/records is a file format for storing a sequence of string records, typically serialized protocol buffers.
