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.

Purego – A library for calling C functions from Go without Cgo
How is this any different than a mature tool such as SWIG (https://www.swig.org/)?
I've used SWIG extensively with Python to call C code and import C headers for testing/tooling purposes.

How does Golang communicate with C++?
For pure C, CGO. For C++ they are likely creating shims with Swig: https://www.swig.org/

I feel really dumb whenever I take a coding test for a job
I mostly write in C and C++ so for language bindings I use Swig a lot. Say Im creating a machine learning library in C++, its very easy to create a Python API that can call the C++ classes and methods using Swig. iirc, I am using the same swig interface file to create bindings for Python, OCaml, R and even Fortran. Feel free to DM me if you got any more questions or anything!

Is there a way to use a c++ project in a python project?
Swig can make c++ types and functions available to python.

Boxflow - A universal layout engine written in Zig
The likes of SWIG is often used to link C library-like code to 11-ish other widely used languages.

Hi, I have this program in C which I have to convert in Java(Android code), so that it could be used for decoding the output obtained from a Simulated program. Please help.
Maybe you could use swig to create a wrapper for Java.

Ideas for GUI libraries?
most X11 functionality can be accessed via xgb|xgbutil (jezek has a current fork). nucular makes use of it via shiny. OpenGL and such libraries can be assumed to exist on those systems, so directly calling those c libraries without cgo is a possibility. Ebiten is currently working on it: purego.
- Go 1.21 will (likely) have a static toolchain on Linux

The Simplicity of Single-File Golang Deployments
In the malware reverse engineering scene, there are a lot of forks of the upstream "debug" go library, because it allows loading, parsing, compiling and executing libraries from disk (rather than in-kernel or in-userspace).
And there's also "purego" as an implementation that directly generates shellcode.
Maybe those will help you, too?
I am just mentioning these because for my use cases those approaches worked perfectly, CGO free.

Which platform/os do you prefer to use while using Go for developing your services, apps, CLIs, etc ?
https://github.com/ebitengine/purego Instead of Go using C toolchain, purego bypass it for already (should I say compiled or object-compiled)
-
Precompiled CGo Code
You could use https://github.com/ebitengine/purego which would not require a C compiler to build
