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.

Cap'n Proto 0.9
While it is technically not 1.0, I have yet to see a breakage and I have been using it since 0.7.
The language maturity one, I can concur though. The rust implementation has been fine, but pycapnp was plagued with memory leaks until recently, and curre tly has performance problems[1] that makes it unsuitable for my use case.
As for the level 2+ protocol, it looks cool on paper, but it looks like a lot of added complexity to address an advanced use case.
The language itself has generics and sum types, which makes it much better at modelling the problem domain than protobuf.

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.
- How do I provide bot RPC and REST endpoints?
- Reasons to use gRPC/Protobuf?

goRPC or gRPC?
There is another: twirp

TypeScript type safety with GO
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.

GraphQL making its way into a Twitter discussion about latency is not what I expected
Twitch has a great framework for it https://twitchtv.github.io/twirp/docs/intro.html

swaggo/swag alternative, but should generate OpenAPI 3.0 spec file
We have better experience with https://goa.design/ than with https://github.com/twitchtv/twirp

Connect-Web: It's time for Protobuf/gRPC to be your first choice in the browser
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...
