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.

Alternate HDL language and Physical Design/EDA tools?
If you are familiar with Python you might find nMigen interesting.

Unconventional Uses of FPGAs
A more extreme version of the ADC/DAC projects mentioned here is my (old) project that built a Bluetooth transceiver using just an FPGA and an antenna (and a low pass filter if you don't want the FCC coming after you): https://github.com/newhouseb/onebitbt
Tl;dr: if you blast in/out the right 5GHz binary digital signal from a SERDES block on an FPGA connected to a short wire you can talk to your phone!

NMigen – A Python toolbox for building complex digital hardware (FPGAs)
Good eye! That's indeed a typo in the notebook. Somehow in the actual design I have the correct pairing https://github.com/newhouseb/onebitbt/blob/master/onebitbt/r....
Since writing this particular notebook I've actually built out a proper CORDIC module, so once I get back to the environment where I was writing all this (I am nomadic right now w/ anemic compute) I can fix this and rerun things (and add in my CORDIC implementation).
