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.

TOML: Tom's Obvious Minimal Language
Funny thing: TOML author/inventor calls it a mistake:
> TOML is a bad file format. It looks good at first glance, and for really really trivial things it is probably good. But once I started using it and the configuration schema became more complex, I found the syntax ugly and hard to read.
> I personally abandoned TOML and as such, I'm not planning on adding any new features

Comparison of Python TOML parser libraries
pytoml Abandoned by the creator for eminently sensible reasons (interesting read too... https://github.com/avakar/pytoml/issues/15) But let's not get into an argument over whether a shiny new fashion in config formats is in fact doing anything better than the previous fashions in config management...

Meanwhile, formats have been evolving (JSON5, YAML), config entry points are constantly changing. These fluctuations, fortunately, were covered by tools like the cosmiconfig.

That's a Lot of YAML
I think JSON5 is fairly close to this: https://json5.org
I reckon the only thing it's missing to be truly accessible to non-techies is that string values still need to be quoted, i.e. you can't have:
key: this is my value
(I'm definitely not saying it would be a good idea to allow quotes to be dropped, just that that's the only potential stumbling block I see for non-techies.)

XML is better than YAML
I believe that's JSON5.
https://github.com/json5/json5
It's my preferred configuration file format, it fixes all the problems I have with JSON (trailing commas, comments) without turning it into a mess full of gotchas like YAML.

I would like to see mention of JSON5 which is 11 years its elder. For comments in JSON, JSON5 is a good starting point.
