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.

Good resources for learning C in depth?
AddressSanitizer is really useful, it's similar to Valgrind but has much lower overhead.
-
Memory Allocators
And if you're up for it, I'd further recommend adding some ways to deal with buffer overflows in debug builds. The way I deal with this is by using Address-Sanitizer's manual poisoning api. Bonus point if you leave additional poisoned space between allocations so off by one errors are likely to end up in a poisoned region instead of nearby allocation.

It also doesn't hurt that Miri can find many kinds of unsafe violations even in unsafe blocks. Zig may get something like this one day, but even if it does, checking things at runtime is not a substitute for compile time -- the C++ Sanitizers haven't exactly solved the safety story for C++ even over a decade later.

What's the best thing you've found in code? :
This is where stuff like ASan is really useful.
-
how do I check my library for memory leaks?
Use: https://github.com/google/sanitizers/wiki/AddressSanitizer
-
Is malloc_trim() safe to use?
Have you tried using tools like ASAN/LSAN or valgrind to confirm that there are indeed no memory leaks?

Are We Modules Yet?
If you aren't aware of the c++ core guidelines[1] - it should be on your radar.
Also, it might not be a popular opinion, but I think Bjarne's books are just fine.

Toward a TypeScript for C++"
In addition to the other comments -
TypeScript deliberately takes a "good enough" approach to improving JavaScript, instead of designing an ideal but incompatible approach. For example, its handling of [function parameter bivariance](https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/type-compatibil...) is unsound but works much better with the existing JavaScript ecosystem. By contrast, a more academic functional programming language would guarantee a sound type system but would be a huge shift from JavaScript.
By analogy, Herb Sutter is arguing that something like the [C++ Core Guidelines](https://isocpp.github.io/CppCoreGuidelines/CppCoreGuidelines), with tooling help in this new Cpp2 syntax, can bring real improvements to safety. Something like Rust's borrow checker would bring much stricter guarantees, backed by academic research and careful design, but would be incompatible and a huge adjustment.

MechE student here. Is there benefit to learning C in addition to C++, or can one do everything with C++ that can be done with C?

C++ is everywhere, but noone really talks about it. What are people's thoughts?
Take a look at Effective Modern c++ by Scott Meyers and the ISO c++ core guidelines. These resources are great for learning how to write better, more modern C++. I don't think it would be hard to grasp if you're already familiar with the language, just make sure to actually write some code which makes use of this stuff, otherwise it's easy to forget.
-
What are some C++ specific antipatterns that might be missed by C#/Java devs?
Look to the C++ Core Guidelines. It's not perfect, it has some flaws, including some sabotaging advice apparently adopted for political reasons. But at least it has some C++ authorities (Bjarne and Herb) as authors.
