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.

Ask HN: Any interesting forks of TypeScript (or languages inspired by it)?
Just to add to this—the reason I find Static TypeScript particularly interesting is that it is a Microsoft project:
https://github.com/microsoft/pxt/tree/master/pxtcompiler
Compiling TypeScript to other targets is a significant challenge, so I think that in order for a project to become a viable alternative, it will need the resources of a big company like MS behind it. However, I'm not sure if MS or any other company currently has a great incentive to invest heavily in that. Running TypeScript on Node or Deno is good enough for most applications, and for apps that require better performance, MS already has C#, which was architected from the start to be performant (for example, allowing apps to use just value types / structs so that the GC isn't used).

TypeScript as Fast as Rust: TypeScript++
Yeah, AssemblyScript is a key WASM language variant - I made a list of some of the other TypeScript-like implementations last year. Static TypeScript does something similar in order to run inside web pages.

Here is a listing of some TypeScript derived languages: https://github.com/orta/awesome-typescript-derived-languages
Of those, Static TypeScript has been of particular interest to me, but it seems either out of date, or the info available is.
