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.

2023 Stack Overflow Survey: Rust is the most admired programming language, making it the most loved language for 8 years in a row
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.

how do I check my library for memory leaks?

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?

Bun - The One Tool for All Your JavaScript/Typescript Project's Needs?
NodeJS is by no means a slow runtime, it wouldn’t be so popular if it was. But compared to Bun, it’s slow. Bun was built from the ground up with speed in mind, using both JavascriptCore and Zig. The Bun team spent an enormous amount of time and energy trying to make Bun fast, including lots of profiling, benchmarking, and optimizations.

ntdll.dll!RtlUserThreadStart()
There are valid reasons to use APIs from NTDLL. Where I disagree with zig#1840 is the idea that it is always better to use NTDLL versions of API. Every other software ecosystem uses the standard Win32 APIs and diverging from that without a good reason seems like a good way to have unexpected behavior. One concrete example is most users and programmers expect Windows to redirect some file system paths when running on WOW64. But this is implemented in Kernel32, not ntdll.
