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.

Original Age of Empires 2 dev talks about its usage of assembly code

It looks like it only supports Linux and macOS - no Windows, but no other things too like mobile.
It seems it exists for ten years, I wonder what optimizations aren't still picked by the recent compilers.

The pruning part can do a lot of heavy lifting to make it a practical tool.

Ryan Levick: The new pass manager in LLVM 13 (now in nightly) leads to significantly better compile times..
These exist, they are called superoptimizers. The most known superoptimizer for LLVM is caller SOUPER

Better than brute force is using a model of your instruction set (x86 start here [1]), then using something like Z3 [] to find solutions. Here's a paper doing the same [2]. With these approaches you can get vastly bigger pieces of code generated than brute force, and with significantly less hand heuristic tuning effort (which likely still loses out to current solvers).
