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.

XML is better than YAML
NestedText already is the way I use YAML; everything is intepreted as a string. I have some trust in my YAML parser to not mangle most strings. I could use NestedText, but users would be unfamiliar with it, and IIRC the only parsers are in Python. But then I could use StrictYaml too https://github.com/crdoconnor/strictyaml

you can stick to a subset of YAML syntax (e.g. strictYAML)

DO YOU YAML?
YAML stands for "YAML Ain’t Markup Language" - this is known as a recursive acronym. YAML is often used for writing configuration files. It’s human readable, easy to understand and can be used with other programming languages. Although YAML is commonly used in many disciplines, it has received criticism on the amoutn of whitespace .yml files have, difficulty in editing, and complexity of the standard. Despite the criticism, properly using YAML ensures that you can reproduce the results of a project and makes sure that the virtual environment packages play nicely with system packages. (If you're looking for another way to share environments there are other alternatives to YAML which include StrictYAML (a type-safe YAML parser) and NestedText)

The yaml document from hell
The example you linked provides this as an example of a YAML document that he wants his format to support.

The YAML Document from Hell
That safe subset exists and is implemented in a number of languages. It is called strict-yaml: https://hitchdev.com/strictyaml/

Why JSON Isn’t a Good Configuration Language (2018)
To me those are in the category of "nice to have", and the problem is that every developer has different preferences for these [1] [2]. But the main features of StrictYaml, like supporting comments and less syntactic noise, I think are pretty uncontroversial, and perhaps it's worth it to get people to switch over for those alone. It doesn't need to be perfect, it just needs to be a significant enough improvement over JSON, and I'd say those two features are more than enough

YAML: The Missing Battery in Python
For manually-maintained data, I'm inclined to stick within the syntax limits of StrictYAML. It keeps me from getting too fancy.

Is implicit typing in Rust always guaranteed to have the same behavior?
(That's how certain kinds of extensibility work in the validator crate. You just impl a method and validator won't care where it comes from as long as it's in scope because it's built using declarative macros.)

What do you NOT like about Rust?
If you really want duck-typing, take a look at how the validator crate uses macros to achieve something similar. (Seriously. It was a real head-scratcher the first time I discovered it would accept and use my impls as long as the method names matched.)
