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.

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.

When we talk about formal methods being used in the industry I honestly think Galois' approach is the future. The main idea is to symbolically execute llvm code and run a SAT solver on the desired properties. See Crucible and SAW.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing silveroak and saw-script you can also consider the following projects:
practical-fm - A gently curated list of companies using verification formal methods in industry
crucible - Crucible is a library for symbolic simulation of imperative programs
koika - A core language for rule-based hardware design 🦑
kami - A Platform for High-Level Parametric Hardware Specification and its Modular Verification
