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.

Unikraft is a fast, secure and open-source Unikernel Development Kit
1. We build unikernels using the 'kraft container' which is Docker/OCI image[0][1] which has the necessary build tools to build Unikraft unikernels. We plug this into Concourse which builds thousands of combinations of Unikernels[2] as part of our code review process[3]. In addition to this, we have on-going research and tooling to help automatically discover permutations of Unikernel builds[4].
2. Really great question, but mostly you can expect the same functionality of an application when it runs as a unikernel because the application "thinks" it's still running in a traditional OS environment -- as it should be. Check out this documentation[5] (after step 7) about porting, it has snippets about where the boundary sometimes breaks.
3. Well, general-purposes are not suited for deployment environments. Installing Gentoo (or Ubuntu, Debian, for that matter) is a waste of resources if you only SSH in once to install your desired application.

Unikraft Posix Like Unikernel
A compelling introduction and explanation of Unikraft took place at USENIX LISA '18:

I don't know if I'm a huge fan of the website that was posted here (the quick start doesn't actually show a python application, which is a bit odd), but Unikraft occupies an interesting spot in the unikernel landscape, it's very promising.
Here are all some interesting languages/programs you can use it with:
- https://github.com/unikraft/app-helloworld-go
- https://github.com/unikraft/app-micropython
- https://github.com/unikraft/app-nginx
- https://github.com/unikraft/app-ruby
- https://github.com/unikraft/app-lua
- https://github.com/unikraft/app-redis
- https://github.com/unikraft/app-python3
If you're interested in Unikernels, some more interesting/close-to-production-ready entries in the space worth watching:
