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.

Did Rust ever have breaking syntax changes?
There’s a rust-prehistory repo preserving Rust’s compiler code at very early stage. You can see how Rust looks like at that time.
-
What should be included in a history of the Rust language?
https://github.com/graydon/rust-prehistory is another good resource, particularly the doc/notes directory. All kinds of good stuff in there that looks pretty different than today. I also liked Marijn's talk, The Rust That Could Have Been.
-
Is there somewhere I can view the history of rust before 1.0?
There's also this repository depending how far back you want

How to Learn Modern Rust
If, on the other hand, you’re interested in pre-modern Rust, there’s always this repo: https://github.com/graydon/rust-prehistory

Array type annotation syntax: String[] -vs- [String]
For some snapshots on the history of the language up to 1.0 check out: https://brson.github.io/archaea/. For some really ancient stuff check out the graydon/rust-prehistory/ repo. Also looking at the oldest commits and issues on the Rust repo can be pretty interesting. It's a great public resource.

Happy 12th Birthday, Rust
As Graydon Hoare notes in the comments on GitHub this wasn't the first repo so the real history goes back even further. He's also shared a "prehistory" repo [1] which is interesting to browse. The first commit [2] in _that_ repo is from 2008 but Graydon mentions starting work back in 2006.
Anyway in a sense this repo represents Rust in the real world rather than in gestation, so seems apt to call it the birthday.

I created my own programming language that compiles into Lua code but uses a more C/Rust like syntax
Early Rust was very different (example). It is almost certain that modern Rust took a lot of cues from Go. And, as above, Go was obviously heavily inspired by C, just like your language. So, all told, where you landed is likely very much what is expected.

How is Rust written with Rust?
The pre-git history was imported as https://github.com/graydon/rust-prehistory

Graydon Hoare: “Rust didn't start ”as a research project at Mozilla in 2010“
Two other links related to ancient Rust:
* https://github.com/graydon/rust-prehistory -> the code from before the rust-lang/rust repo
* https://youtube.com/watch?v=79PSagCD_AY -> a talk I gave around the 1.0 release giving my personal perspective on the history.
Oh heck, one more fun one: https://github.com/brson/archaea

How to Learn Modern Rust
A lot of the links look reasonable.
The substring section[1] looks a bit weird though. If you're learning Rust, diving right into how to work with char indices instead of byte offsets does not feel like the right thing to cover right away. You might really need that, but chances are you don't and would be much better served by a section that talks about how you probably don't want char offsets at all. But even that doesn't seem like you should whack a beginner with right away unless they have a specific hang-up on it.
Beginner string stuff should be talking about string representation and going over the &str and String APIs. And depending on how early you get to it in the overall tutorial, probably using it as a springboard to talk about lifetimes.
But writing code so you can go out of your way to do something that is probably wrong in the first place? Noooooo.
Anyway, sorry to pick at this specific point, but the Gell-Mann amnesia effect comes to mind.[2]
