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.

A tale of knowledge building
super-expressive is a library to create Regular Expressions (RegExp) in almost natural language. It's useful, simple and well-documented. One downside it's that it's a runtime library, something else to add to our bundle.

Show HN: Regex Derivatives (Brzozowski Derivatives)
Note that it's not difficult to (lazily or not) build a NFA using derivatives as well (with Antimirov's construction).

Super-expressive – Write regex in natural language
I'm familiar with standard (compact) regex syntax, but I've been using the above syntax recently in a couple small places. I'm a bit on the fence as to which is "better". The compact syntax is, of course, more compact. I think it's a very similar comparison between APL (which I've not used) and most other common programming languages.
One advantage of the expanded syntax is that it's a bit nicer to incorporate a string variable, e.g. "str some_string" vs. "/#{Regexp.escape(some_string)}/" (to borrow Ruby's syntax).
