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.

gut: convert golang structs to typescript interfaces
Yes, you can. You are mistaking protobuf with gRPC. See this for more information.
-
TypeScript type safety with GO
You can use this with connect: https://github.com/bufbuild/protobuf-es
-
Ask HN: Why isn't JSON-RPC more widely adopted?
Ah you should check out https://github.com/bufbuild/protobuf-es which feels great so far. Then there's connect by the same buf people but it has a grpc-web option https://connect.build/docs/web/getting-started/. The amount of code generated is also tiny, which I love.

Connect-Web: ergonomic Protobuf & gRPC for browsers
I'd recommend looking into protobuf-ts (Timo from Buf) or protobuf-es (Buf maintained).

Connect-Web: It's time for Protobuf/gRPC to be your first choice in the browser
Not sure if it is a magic bullet, but it was definitely written by TypeScript developers, for TypeScript developers.
The generated TypeScript code is already pretty minimal because all serialization ops are implemented with reflection instead of generated code (which is only marginally slower than generated code in JS).
But you can also switch to generating JavaScript + TypeScript declaration files, which is truly minimal: JavaScript is an entire dynamic language, so we actually only generated a small snippet of metadata in the .js output, and create a class at run time with a function call. The generated typings (.d.ts) give you type safety, autocompletion in the IDE, and so on.
You can see the output here: https://github.com/bufbuild/protobuf-es/blob/main/packages/p...

I Reviewed 1,000s of Opinions on gRPC
The next time I want to build an API, I will probably make use of https://github.com/twitchtv/twirp. I like working with Protobuf and having strongly-typed and well-defined messages, but gRPC is way, way too much. It's obviously a Google product, built for what Google needs.
Use Protobuf for messages, but just use HTTP for transport.

goRPC or gRPC?

And addition to what was mentioned there are also webrpc and twirp.

Any good open source python projects that have used GRPC?
If you find one, you maybe also interested in twirp.

swaggo/swag alternative, but should generate OpenAPI 3.0 spec file

Take a look at Twirp (https://github.com/twitchtv/twirp) open sourced by TwitchTv. It's a lot lighter weight than gRPC. It does use Protobufs but addresses some of the concerns you mentioned, such as being able to test with JSON payloads, works over HTTP 1.1 and HTTP/2, good client libraries, and doesn't require a proxy.
They address your concerns in more detail in the Twirp release announcement (2018) - https://blog.twitch.tv/en/2018/01/16/twirp-a-sweet-new-rpc-f...
