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.

Where/how do you view and search Nim's docs?
It is! Can be found in the website folder, and it's called gendoc.nim: https://github.com/PMunch/ratel/tree/master/website

which is this great project btw: https://github.com/PMunch/ratel
what happened to that cool landing page you had?

MicroPython – Python for Microcontrollers
https://github.com/PMunch/ratel
The author of ratel also did a talk on microcontroller programming with Nim for FOSDEM. It doesn't bring up MicroPython, but it does bring up TinyGo and some other alternatives mentioned in this thread.

MicroPython – Python for Microcontrollers
If you have kids and you want to give them some experience with physical computing and MicroPython, can I suggest our resources at https://projects.raspberrypi.org/en/pathways/pico-intro
They're pretty simple and very creative, and the Raspberry Pi Pico is about the only Raspberry Pi device you can get hold of at the moment.
We've created an abstracted package called picozero, that makes turning on LEDs and reading sensors pretty simple in MicroPython. It's very easy to install and use, if you're using the Thonny editor - https://github.com/RaspberryPiFoundation/picozero
What are some alternatives?
micropython-numpy - A basic numpy like library for micropython
micropython-ulab - a numpy-like fast vector module for micropython, circuitpython, and their derivatives
pxed - esp32-powered pixel art editor
ratel-wai - :honey_pot: Notify Honeybadger about exceptions via a WAI middleware.
TinyGo - Go compiler for small places. Microcontrollers, WebAssembly (WASM/WASI), and command-line tools. Based on LLVM.
Nim - Nim is a statically typed compiled systems programming language. It combines successful concepts from mature languages like Python, Ada and Modula. Its design focuses on efficiency, expressiveness, and elegance (in that order of priority).
circuitpython - CircuitPython - a Python implementation for teaching coding with microcontrollers
MicroPython - MicroPython - a lean and efficient Python implementation for microcontrollers and constrained systems
microkeys - Windows macro using MicroPython as an engine. [WIP]
