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.

Snmalloc: A Message Passing Allocator
https://github.com/microsoft/snmalloc#snmalloc mentions two biggest motivations as:
> Allocations on one thread are freed by a different thread
I can imagine one use-case for this: a task that is scheduled from and executed by a work-stealing thread-pool can allocate memory in one thread but by design there's no guarantee that the memory will be necessarily freed from that exact thread. Would that be a good use-case for snmalloc?
> Deallocations occur in large batches
This sounds much like a bump allocator use-case but which can do this exact thing by calling a single munmap(addr, len) and unmap multiple allocations all at once.

Is the JVM a upside or downside to Scala?
Yes, it's very efficient and that's not where the main problem lies. However, small allocations with modern C heap allocators like mimalloc or snmalloc has gotten extremely efficient as well. Would be interesting to see a benchmark comparison with Java's G1 and ZGC.

using heap in baremetal embedded
Another option is using an allocator that provides some guarantees that work for your use case, eg https://github.com/pavel-kirienko/o1heap
What are some alternatives?
mimalloc - mimalloc is a compact general purpose allocator with excellent performance.
memory - STL compatible C++ memory allocator library using a new RawAllocator concept that is similar to an Allocator but easier to use and write.
jemallocator - Rust allocator using jemalloc as a backend
fprime - F´ - A flight software and embedded systems framework
Mesh - A memory allocator that automatically reduces the memory footprint of C/C++ applications.
