The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
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.

Type Theory Forall Podcast #13 - C/C++, Emacs, Haskell, and Coq. The Journey (John Wiegley)
Some other examples, Google has some people using Coq for hardware synthesis silveroak, there is a paper on using Coq for verifying some data structure at Facebook/Meta this year at CPP.

There's an ongoing effort to rewrite Principia Mathematica using Coq
There are ongoing research projects about that, you may want to have a look at Kôika (https://github.com/mit-plv/koika), Kami (https://github.com/mit-plv/kami), Lutsig (https://github.com/CakeML/hardware) and silveroak (https://github.com/project-oak/silveroak). Closer to HLS there is also Vericert (https://github.com/ymherklotz/vericert). There may be other research project I am unaware of, feel free to add them in a reply, I am interested in it.

Formal Verification Methods in industry
When you say "formal verification methods", what kind of techniques are you interested in? While using interactive theorem provers will most likely not become very widespread, there are plenty of tools that use formal techniques to give more correctness guarantees. These tools might give some guarantees, but do not guarantee complete functional correctness. WireGuard (VPN tunnel) is I think a very interesting application where they verified the protocol. There are also some tools in use, e.g. Mythril and CrossHair, that focus on detecting bugs using symbolic execution. There's also INFER from Facebook/Meta which tries to verify memory safety automatically. The following GitHub repo might also interest you, it lists some companies that use formal methods: practical-fm
