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.

Shh: Simple Shell Scripting from Haskell
shh is a really cool package, and so is turtle and shelly:
https://hackage.haskell.org/package/turtle/docs/Turtle-Tutor...
https://hackage.haskell.org/package/shelly
shh's "Alternatives" section summarises nicely some of the differences between these:
https://github.com/luke-clifton/shh#alternatives
shh has a neat [fmt| ... |] macro that gets you around escaping strings.
shh generally has more Template Haskell support; you may or may not like this.
I am personally leaning towards shh because of its "native pipe style".

What are the disadvantages of using an interactive shell based on a regular programming language (python, scheme's scsh, etc) vs. bourne shell and bash?
There exist hybrids, where general purpose languages are somehow coerced into shells by adding syntactic sugar or removing features. Xonsh and shh come to mind, respectively for Python and Haskell.

Shellcheck finds bugs in your shell scripts
Scripts can easily be configured with libraries and run pre-compiled by using clutch[2].
For cross-platform use, be sure only use libraries on all platforms (i.e., not Foundation). It's a pain, but at least the error shows up typically at compile-time instead of run-time.

bach - Bach Testing Framework
fs_playground - F# Playground
shellcheck-gitlab-ci-scripts-hook
dagger - Application Delivery as Code that Runs Anywhere
clutch - Run Swift scripts that depend on packages
oil - Oils is our upgrade path from bash to a better language and runtime. It's also for Python and JavaScript users who avoid shell!
strictbash - Enable Bash "strict mode" & run shellcheck via a shebang
zx - A tool for writing better scripts
xonsh - :shell: Python-powered, cross-platform, Unix-gazing shell.
