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.

Favorite hidden gem library?
I really like StreamEx. I do not know why people do not use it often, the syntax is just wonderful.

Jodd – The Unbearable Lightness of Java
It gets more perverse if you need to flatMap, or transmute components of map types, etc. If you want even more power, take a look at https://github.com/amaembo/streamex. This sort of container manipulation bread and butter for business processing. I use it every day, sometimes with a dozen operations. This (with liberal use of `final` values) makes for some pretty functional-looking code.
I'll grant you the Kotlin or Scala version is slightly more compact. But not fundamentally different, like the Go version.
I (and the pretty much every language designer in the post-Java era) disagree with you about checked exceptions, but that's a whole different thread...

Spark – A web micro framework for Java and Kotlin
https://vertx.io/
It's actively maintained with full time developers, performant, supports Kotlin out of the box, and has more features?

Reactive database access on the JVM
Hibernate Reactive integrates with Vert.x, but an extension allows to bridge to Project Reactor if wanted

Looking for a coroutine-based message broker implementation for inter-app communication.
Have you looked at Vert.x?

What's the state of server-side frameworks with Kotlin support today for small teams?
Explicitly so:

Anything close beam/otp for other languages?
I really like Eclipse Vert.x... As both an Erlang dev and Java dev, it's a great synergy and soon to have support for Virtual Threads similar to BEAM.

Go doesn’t do any magical stuff and I love that
There are many lean, popular, non-magical libraries in Java land. (https://quarkus.io/, https://vertx.io/, etc). Spring is a monster 😱. Its like comparing Kubernetes (written in Go) with some lean framework in another lang.

Quarkus fundamentals
In fact, it builds on top of proven standards such as Eclipse MicroProfile or frameworks such as Vert.x or JAX‑RS.
What are some alternatives?
jOOλ - jOOλ - The Missing Parts in Java 8 jOOλ improves the JDK libraries in areas where the Expert Group's focus was elsewhere. It adds tuple support, function support, and a lot of additional functionality around sequential Streams. The JDK 8's main efforts (default methods, lambdas, and the Stream API) were focused around maintaining backwards compatibility and implementing a functional API for parallelism.
