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.

An HTTP server in a single .c file
My single file HTTP/1.0-ish java http server:
https://github.com/pablo-mayrgundter/http
I use it for most of my local dev. Handles only GET requests, serving files below the directory in which the server is started. Does Content-Type inference based on file extensions (e.g. html, js, png, jpg).
Currently disables any type of cacheing as I use it mostly for local development and want to avoid versioning mistakes.
Also has fledgling SSL support that has occasionally worked.

[DISCUSSION] What if BASH could be used as a web server interpreter?
I've had https://github.com/avleen/bashttpd/blob/master/bashttpd bookmarked for a while... not sure if it address:

Zig: The Modern Alternative to C
In a way I feel that everything is an alternative to everything and at the same time nothing is.
As you said it all depends on the circumstances. But I don't really see Zig competing with Go. They both can do mostly the same things, but they both approach them from quite a different sides.
For example bash is being used in:
- gaming (https://github.com/JosefZIla/bash2048)
- web apps (https://github.com/avleen/bashttpd)
- networking
- CLIs
- distributed systems (https://github.com/frameable/aviary.sh)
- crypto (https://armedia.com/blog/blockchain-program-written-bash/ https://github.com/grondilu/bitcoin-bash-tools)
- systems programming (https://github.com/damphat/kv-bash)
- language tooling
Some of those make more sense than others. However we all talk about a mythical general case. For every language there are niches that are covered by it more significantly. For Go it would probably be web backend. It doesn't mean it is only suited to this one niche, it is used in everything. In general it is used there more. I don't believe that Rust sees the most use in the same niche to the same order that Go sees it.
Is Rust or Zig an alternative to php, awk or Lisp? In practice I don't really think so.
I guess it all depends on one's definition of "alternative". I don't think that a statistical Go programmer would see Zig as a real alternative. Statistical C programmer might see it as a Go alternative, but that probably would not be a question he would ask.
