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.

Debugging in Clojure
The first example about spyscope is.. not good. The point of it is you can stick it in front of any form, not to use it with println debugging. For a better example, at https://github.com/dgrnbrg/spyscope#spyp

Tracing: Structured Logging, but better in every way
There are logging libraries that include syntactically scoped timers, such as mulog (https://github.com/BrunoBonacci/mulog). While a great library, we preferred timbre (https://github.com/taoensso/timbre) and rolled our own logging timer macro that interoperates with it. More convenient to have such niceties in a Lisp of course.

Debugging in Clojure
Assuming the crash doesn't cause the process to completely exit, you could indeed use `scope-capture` for this. This works well for local dev. In theory, you could use `sc.api/spy` in production code, and then attach a remote repl to diagnose any crashes. I wouldn't recommend this though, I think it would be best to use a good logging library like Mulog: https://github.com/BrunoBonacci/mulog
