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.

Vcc – The Vulkan Clang Compiler
Sounds cool, but this requires yet another language to learn[0]. As someone who only has limited knowledge in this space, could someone tell me how comparable is the compute functionality of rust-gpu[1], where I can just write rust?

Why aren't there constantly more shading languages popping up all the time like other languages?
There are a handful of other examples out there of high-level shading languages - Cg (long deprecated), whatever Filament Material system uses (example), and various GLSL preprocessors (example).
What are some alternatives?
slang - Making it easier to work with shaders
SDL_shader_tools - Shader compiler and tools for SDLSL (Simple Directmedia Layer Shader Language)
xshade - "cross shade" meta shading language and compiler
SPIRV-Cross - SPIRV-Cross is a practical tool and library for performing reflection on SPIR-V and disassembling SPIR-V back to high level languages.
cg2c
filament - Filament is a real-time physically based rendering engine for Android, iOS, Windows, Linux, macOS, and WebGL2
DirectXShaderCompiler - This repo hosts the source for the DirectX Shader Compiler which is based on LLVM/Clang.
