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.

Ideas for GUI libraries?
most X11 functionality can be accessed via xgb|xgbutil (jezek has a current fork). nucular makes use of it via shiny. OpenGL and such libraries can be assumed to exist on those systems, so directly calling those c libraries without cgo is a possibility. Ebiten is currently working on it: purego.
- Go 1.21 will (likely) have a static toolchain on Linux

The Simplicity of Single-File Golang Deployments
In the malware reverse engineering scene, there are a lot of forks of the upstream "debug" go library, because it allows loading, parsing, compiling and executing libraries from disk (rather than in-kernel or in-userspace).
And there's also "purego" as an implementation that directly generates shellcode.
Maybe those will help you, too?
I am just mentioning these because for my use cases those approaches worked perfectly, CGO free.

Which platform/os do you prefer to use while using Go for developing your services, apps, CLIs, etc ?
https://github.com/ebitengine/purego Instead of Go using C toolchain, purego bypass it for already (should I say compiled or object-compiled)

Precompiled CGo Code
You could use https://github.com/ebitengine/purego which would not require a C compiler to build

Show HN: My Go SQLite driver did poorly on a benchmark, so I fixed it
> I would've probably picked the modernc variation
Heads up about the modernc library, it has been stuck on an old version of sqlite for several months [1]. It seems like maintainer time is the limiting factor [2]. There has been a call to arms on that issue page, the maintainer is looking for help, but it looks like not much has arrived. It seems like it might trace back to blockers in the C-to-Go compiler.
It's a major undertaking and a very impressive piece of work, but I'm not surprised it's a struggle when big roadblocks get hit. I hope they find a way to progress, but I'm very relieved to be seeing some CGo-free alternatives like ncruces/go-sqlite3 emerging. I'm going to give it a try for sure and see if I can live with the compromises.
Squinn-go looks very compelling too, but I don't like that it requires the squinn binary to already be installed on a user's machine, I think that gives with one hand and takes with the other: sure, I get to avoid CGo, but I also lose the turnkey, single-command install, static build benefits Go brings out of the box.
Seconding the point about nitty gritty, I'd read it for sure too!

Show HN: Sqinn-Go is a Golang library for accessing SQLite databases in pure Go
No, but that has the disadvantage of being C compiled into Go, then being compiled into native executable.
I'm actually surprised by how readable this came out; props to the Go->C compiler author. But you can guess that pushing this sort of thing through the Go compiler is going to cause some slowdowns due to sheer paradigm mismatch: https://gitlab.com/cznic/sqlite/-/blob/master/lib/sqlite_lin...

Go port of SQLite without CGo
It could be clearer in the readme, but note that this is a machine translation from C to Go, repeated for every OS-Arch pair. Example of the one you're most likely to use in production: https://gitlab.com/cznic/sqlite/-/blob/master/lib/sqlite_linux_amd64.go
