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.

Bashing the Bash – Replacing Shell Scripts with Python
I wrote this to simplify just that for my own tools; the subprocess module that comes with the batteries has a very general interface, i think that it is a bit complex for a quick script.
https://github.com/MoserMichael/subb
https://pypi.org/project/subb/
Python doesn't have the problem of shell scripting language, it doesn't get impractical, as the program is getting more complex. In bash you have arrays, and even maps, but these aren't pretty. Also the shell scripting language is being evaluated by an parse tree/AST interpreter, that's significantly slower than even python, in it's byte code interpreted form.
My objective was to get an abstraction, for a one line process run and extraction of the result, similar to what we had in Perl5 with the system library function. https://perldoc.perl.org/functions/system
Also the shell is impractical, when it comes to slightly more complex programs. There is a limit on what you can do with pipes. Maybe that's the reason why perl is that flexible, as they tried to bridge both realms: Perl had to be useful as a replacement for the quick shell like script, and to be useful as a general purpose programming language.

[DISCUSSION] What if BASH could be used as a web server interpreter?
I've had https://github.com/avleen/bashttpd/blob/master/bashttpd bookmarked for a while... not sure if it address:

Zig: The Modern Alternative to C
In a way I feel that everything is an alternative to everything and at the same time nothing is.
As you said it all depends on the circumstances. But I don't really see Zig competing with Go. They both can do mostly the same things, but they both approach them from quite a different sides.
For example bash is being used in:
- gaming (https://github.com/JosefZIla/bash2048)
- web apps (https://github.com/avleen/bashttpd)
- networking
- CLIs
- distributed systems (https://github.com/frameable/aviary.sh)
- crypto (https://armedia.com/blog/blockchain-program-written-bash/ https://github.com/grondilu/bitcoin-bash-tools)
- systems programming (https://github.com/damphat/kv-bash)
- language tooling
Some of those make more sense than others. However we all talk about a mythical general case. For every language there are niches that are covered by it more significantly. For Go it would probably be web backend. It doesn't mean it is only suited to this one niche, it is used in everything. In general it is used there more. I don't believe that Rust sees the most use in the same niche to the same order that Go sees it.
Is Rust or Zig an alternative to php, awk or Lisp? In practice I don't really think so.
I guess it all depends on one's definition of "alternative". I don't think that a statistical Go programmer would see Zig as a real alternative. Statistical C programmer might see it as a Go alternative, but that probably would not be a question he would ask.
