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.

What're my debugging options without a raspberry pi?
There's also apparently a way to use the other core of a Pico as a debug programmer: https://github.com/majbthrd/pico-debug/ but that's pretty advanced.

Raspberry Pico: Simple Debugging with just one Device
This blog pot continues the Pico setup series and will detail how to setup a fully working debugger in VS Studio Code. Keep in mind that ultimately the steps are based on explanations from pico-debug project, and wizio-pico, but the setup is complex so I wrote a summarizing blog article. Follow along and you will be debugging your Pico C programs with the press of a simple launch button.

At what abstraction level does the USB MSC class operate?
If you just want to transfer data without necessarily using a filesystem on your storage device, check out daplink. It implements a virtual FAT filesystem over USB so you can copy over firmware updates easily.

DAP-Link Confusion
From what I've found that DAP-Link is actually an ARM Mbed open source project to basically be similar to STM32 ST-Link: https://github.com/ARMmbed/DAPLink

What are some interesting uses of WebUSB you have come across?
It's used for flashing the BBC micro:bit in both Microsoft MakeCode (makecode.microbit.org) and the micro:bit Python Editor (python.microbit.org). MakeCode uses it for lots of other devices like MakeCode Arcade too https://arcade.makecode.com )
It's amazing for students to be able to quickly get a program they've written in their browser onto a device in their hands that can respond to and interact with the real world.
Also great because with MicroPython and the Python Editor you get a standalone Python environment including REPL that's completely isolated from the PC - schools love it because no matter what the students do they're not going to break the host PCs.
(The firmware that implements web USB on the micro:bit's USB interface chip is open source, DAPLink https://github.com/ARMmbed/DAPLink - poke

The design approach to the Zig programming language
https://github.com/ARMmbed/DAPLink/blob/main/source/daplink/...
Note the nested do { do { } while (); if (err) break;} while(); if (err) break;
Should that code be rewritten? Most certainly it should, and it should be given a proper Error type. However, when you are first porting it, you need to match semantics or you get a bunch of off-by-one, missed error, or missed end of stream bugs. And, as you point out, the Rust loop{} equivalents suck.
We've all written suboptimal code, and we all live in a suboptimal world. :)
