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.

When should I use runtime checks (and which runtime checker should I use)?
In terms of which runtime checker I should use. The first tutorial I saw suggested 'Zod', doing a bit more searchign yielded other options such as 'runtypes'.
-
An almost religious case for Rust
Runtypes would probably be a better example.
-
'The best thing we can do today to JavaScript is to retire it’ Douglas Crockford
this has been solved by several packages, runtypes https://github.com/pelotom/runtypes being my favorite
-
How to force a type when importing a JSON file?
I personally like https://github.com/pelotom/runtypes because it bundles your Schema Info and the corresponding Typescript types
- Why doesn’t TypeScript natively do any type checking
-
Create d.ts for API response
When I have to deal with data from API calls, I usually use a runtime typing library like Runtypes or Zod to check the responses at the boundary. These libraries can automatically give you TS types (using their static or infer utilities) to use throughout the rest of the project.
-
Typing for JSON Payloads
Also runtypes and (as mentioned below) zod.
-
How to check that an 'unknown' object has a specific key and that the key is a specific type?
Seconding the recommendation to use a library for this. runtypes and io-ts are two other alternatives.
-
Check types at the top level or in each function?
I wouldn't reinvent the wheel: https://github.com/pelotom/runtypes
-
Minimal and fast runtime API payload sanitiser and error message handling
What does your library provide that others don't? For example: https://github.com/colinhacks/zodhttps://github.com/hapijs/joihttps://github.com/jquense/yuphttps://github.com/gcanti/io-tshttps://github.com/pelotom/runtypeshttps://github.com/sindresorhus/ow

How to type guard interfaces beautifully?
Use something like ts-auto-guard to generate your type guards. This eliminates human error when writing them.
-
Starting out with a Typescript role, any killer library recommendations I should know about?
Damn there's so many of these now. Also my ts-auto-guard is an option for type guard generation.
-
Are Dynamic Languages Going to Replace Static Languages? (2003)
To be fair, when writing TypeScript you often end-up needing to write loads of type-guard functions, and there are plenty of popular TypeScript extensions that generate those type-guard functions for you, e.g. https://github.com/rhys-vdw/ts-auto-guard
-
Automatically generating typeguard functions
I've tried https://github.com/rhys-vdw/ts-auto-guard but it doesn't handle the attributes object very well (it just checks that it's an object, not that its values match `Attribute`).
One thing I did realise after looking at your code was that I could try changing the attributes property to a Record and see if https://github.com/rhys-vdw/ts-auto-guard handled that well, which it did!
