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.

Why are there no descent Go or Rust alternatived to Ansible?
I wrote a simple tool, which is modeled after puppet in terms of syntax. It was mostly an experiment to see what minimum required features are enough to provide something useful - and I settled on a few primitives such as creating files, installing packages, and running commands.
Despite the minimalism it turned out to be more useful than expected:

I added extra things, such as the ability to pull docker containers, and clone git repositories, and despite being single-host I'm using it to setup several virtual machines.

Ansible 4.0.0 final has been released
I wrote a proof-of-concept tool, inspired by puppet more than anything, but since it runs locally it is perhaps comparable to ansible too:
https://github.com/skx/marionette/
It turns out that three operations suffice for almost 90% of my needs:
* Populate a file, from a template with variable expansion.
* Run a shell-command.
* Install a package.
I added support for pulling a docker container too, just for fun. Although I never made the effort to pimp/promote it, the tool is stable and useful as-is.

Ansible 4.0.0 final has been released
It's hard to say. I don't see too much point in running Ansible inside Terraform or Terraform inside Ansible (yes, you can go either way). Ansible lagged for years on its support of kubernetes and helm (it had it, but it didn't work). Now (like in the last 12 months) got good support for both, but it might be too late. Terraform has the majority of mind share when it comes to Kubernetes support.
If you're only doing AWS or Google Cloud, Ansible can do that. Whether it does it better or worse than Terraform is all dependent on your use case.
If you're doing anything on premise, or outside of GCP/AWS, Ansible can do that as well. From the using OOB management (HP iLO/Dell iDRAC) to install the OS, to configuring vmware clusters to deploying k8s to declaring resources within k8s. Got network switches and firewalls at your office? You can manage that with Ansible. If you have a bunch of edge compute, Ansible can manage that as well.
What it comes down to is if you've got teams working with anything outside of AWS/GCP. They'll probably be using Ansible, and since you've already go Ansible knowledge across your organization, it would make sense to leverage that expertise and Ansible's cloud integrations.
All of that said - Terraform is much more popular when it comes to the major cloud platforms. If all you have is cloud, then you'll probably start with Terraform and stay there.
