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.

Why Can't `Box` Be Abstracted Away From the Developer?
Absolutely. I have seen some pretty cool concepts in Rust for memory cleanup; not just garbage collection, but deterministic reference cycle removal by cactusref. And the fun thing about these is that you still get all of Rust's zero-cost abstractions and epic modern language design.

CactusRef: an experimental cycle-aware Rc and mini tracing GC
I've put together a WIP PR to experiment with a safe adoption API: https://github.com/artichoke/cactusref/pull/47. This allows the doubly linked list example to be implemented in safe code without leaks. I didn't even think this was possible! Thanks for making me think!
