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.

C++ library for a type multiset
Hmm a bit apples and oranges, my version includes a lot of whitespace, doxygen style comments, used pre-20 -fconcepts, and has (IIRC) addition and multiplication (by a scalar), but no tests.

Very stupid question: Declaring a nominal int type.
The heavy way to solve this is something like boost::units. A lighter way is a 'qualitity' type. I made a start here, https://github.com/wovo/quantity but got distracted by more urgent problems.

How do you not shoot yourself in the foot ?
My general philosophy has long been to let the compiler do as much of the mundane work as possible. To that end, I do as much as I can to help it. Copious use of RAII and in general using specific types, including 'strong' types, so that I can describe logical relationships in a way that the compiler can understand and act on. Having a clear understanding of resource ownership is also important. Also using sanitizers, and liberal use of assert(), but only in debug builds, otherwise there's a tendency to avoid using it due to the extra overhead.

The solution I was looking for is strong typing. Here's an amazing lib for that
