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.

Experience using crow as web server
I'm investigating using C++ to build a REST server, and would love to know of people's experiences with Crow-- or whether they would recommend something else as a "medium-level" abstraction C++ web server. As background, I started off experimenting with Python/FastAPI, which is great, but there is too much friction to translate from pybind11-exported C++ objects to the format that FastAPI expects, and, of course, there are inherent performance limitations using Python, which could impact scaling up if the project were to be successful.

returning numpy arrays via pybind11
I have a C++ function computing a large tensor which I would like to return to Python as a NumPy array via pybind11.

I created smooth_lines python module, great for drawing software
This is based on the Google Ink Stroke Modeler C++ library, and using pybind11 to make it available on python.

Python’s Multiprocessing Performance Problem
If you've never used Pybind before these pybind tests[1] and this repo[2] have good examples you can crib to get started (in addition to the docs). Once you handle passing/returning/creating the main data types (list, tuple, dict, set, numpy array) the first time, then it's mostly smooth sailing.
Pybind offers a lot of functionality, but core "good parts" I've found useful are (a) use a numpy array in Python and pass it to a C++ method to work on, (b) pass your python data structure to pybind and then do work on it in C++ (some copy overhead), and (c) Make a class/struct in C++ and expose it to Python (so no copying overhead and you can create nice cache-aware structs, etc.).

Using pybind11 with minGW to cross compile pyhton module for Windows
I have a python module for which the logic is written in C++ and I use pybind11 to expose the objects and functions to Python.

IPC communication between rust, c++, and python
Reading from Python requires a wrapper, using pybind11 this is fairly done.

[ADVICE] Python to C++
Also I can highly recommend starting using C++ to augment your Python code, i.e. find the parts that are slow or undoable in Python and write those in C++ then expose them as Python functions. You can use https://github.com/pybind/pybind11 to call C++ code from Python.

Experience using crow as web server
I looked at oatpp and drogon, which are both great, but feel too high-level for my purposes. I tried drogon and got something working, but it feels like too much for my requirements, as in particular I'd like to slot in my choice of Json and message-body handling. C.f. the simple approach in Crow, which I easily understand and build on.

What isn't cpp used on web servers as much as other languages?
With the right libraries, C++ could be a good fit for applications that want to expose a fast web API to things that need lots of compute (simulators, for instance) or I/O (interactive editing of large datasets). Projects like Oat++ and Crow give me hope that we might see such an ecosystem develop.
-
REST APIs using C++. (Is this even done much?)
Lots of other options have been mentioned, but I'll throw Oat++ into the mix. I used it for this purpose and it was reasonably painless.

How to use C++ as the backend for web dev?
Maybe use something like https://oatpp.io to create a REST API: C++ in the backend with this library to create a REST server, and the JavaScript/TypeScript frontend to ask for the information.

making a web server in c++?
I've used OATPP ( https://github.com/oatpp/oatpp ) which worked nicely for setting up simple rest interfaces. Supports things like swagger & websockets out of the box. It's also on Conan which is nice if you use cmake. I can't speak to it's performance but it has about a 1mb binary size footprint.

learning c++: looking for structured project tutorial (web app/api? or other?)
As for your web problem, I have only used https://oatpp.io/ in the past but I'm sure there are more frameworks like that on the internet.
