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.

XML is better than YAML
Whenever this kind of arguments come up, I am sad that RON (https://github.com/ron-rs/ron) is not better known. To me it feels like a cleaner and better JSON.
In any case, my little experience with it had made me hate YAML. Generally speaking, I have come to dislike any language with significant whitespace other than Haskell.

What config format do you prefer?
Part of the reason why I migrated away from RON in system76-scheduler is because I needed to rely on the 253-untagged-enums branch from https://github.com/MomoLangenstein/ron. Which still isn't resolved today: https://github.com/ron-rs/ron/pull/451.

Ron: Rusty Object Notation
Serde is strongly, strictly typed: you have to specify what type you want to decode to. It’s nothing like Python’s Pickle protocol.
See, for example, https://github.com/ron-rs/ron/blob/484fcab0686dfd18c7e29b6c1..., where it (in a type-inferency way) says “parse as Config”.

I really love TOML files
StrictYAML does away with some of the strange behaviour YAML has with booleans, among other things. There's a similar library for Rust, minimal-yaml, but it doesn't have serde integration ATM.
What are some alternatives?
toml.io - Source Code for toml.io
validator - Simple validation for Rust structs
json5 - JSON5 — JSON for Humans
kdl - the kdl document language specifications
yaml-reference-parser
typescript-json-schema - Generate json-schema from your Typescript sources
yamllint - A linter for YAML files.
Amethyst - Data-oriented and data-driven game engine written in Rust
strictyaml - Type-safe YAML parser and validator.
miniquad - Cross platform rendering in Rust
cson - CoffeeScript-Object-Notation. Same as JSON but for CoffeeScript objects.
cue - CUE has moved to https://github.com/cue-lang/cue
