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.

Swift for C++ Practitioners, Part 1: Intro and Value Types
How recent were your experiences?
The server-side Swift ecosystem has matured over the past few years, with specific attention from teams at Apple.
For example, regarding JSON, there has been a rewrite of the JSON encoder/decoder that results in a 200% - 500% speed up in deserialization! You can read about the (still ongoing) improvements to Foundation at https://github.com/apple/swift-foundation
Regarding logging, Apple has been pushing the development of community around the swift-log package at https://github.com/apple/swift-log. Maybe you’ve seen this, but just wanted to share!
One last thing: the Swift VSCode extension is actually really good! Not sure when you used it last, but I’ve been using it on a regular basis and it’s been great — and is only getting better. Here’s the link to the extension if you’re curious: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=sswg.swi...
It’s true that Swift has had its various issues, but there’s a very real push by the core team and community to bring the language to new heights and places. Cross-platform support is getting better and better (check out what The Browser Company is doing with Swift on Windows) and a big source of performance bottlenecks are being addressed with the development of non-copyable and non-escaping (Rust-like move-only types)!
Sorry that’s a lot, but I just wanted to point out that there’s a lot of hope in Swift and really interesting things are happening for the project!

An aborted experiment with server Swift
> The linux version of swift replicates a large number of native mac frameworks using whatever mix of C and C++ gets the job done.
Note that this is changing, on Darwin and Linux alike. Foundation.framework is transitioning from being a Swift interface over a C / Objective-C implementation to an Objective-C interface over a Swift implementation.

Apple's use of Swift and SwiftUI in iOS 17
Something not noted in the article is that any binary which links Foundation, even if otherwise written entirely in Obj-C, now uses Swift. This is due to the Foundation Swift rewrite effort (https://github.com/apple/swift-foundation) that is rewriting Foundation is Swift while maintaining Obj-C ABI compatibility.

> like BoringSSL, but Swift-native solutions are becoming more common.
I've seen this one, "Move away from BoringSSL", actively in development (PR opened two weeks ago):
