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.

Tcl Ported to Go
Behold, a 16MB "Go" file: https://gitlab.com/cznic/tcl/-/blob/master/lib/tcl_windows_amd64.go
Based upon info in an AUTHORS file [0] for a different project by the user cznic, I think there is indeed some kind of connection with nic.cz
But I believe, based upon my membership on the GoNuts group / mailing list, that this is mostly the work of one individual, Jan Mercl (he is quite active in GoNuts) — as also stated in the previously mentioned AUTHORS file, and in the AUTHORS file for the port of Tcl that is the subject of the OP [1].
I have used some of his non-transpiled code/projects in my own Go projects in the past. He seems to be a very solid coder, often happy to share his views in GoNuts, and also frequently reviews others' code too.

SQLite in Go, with and Without Cgo
I think the author of modernc.org/sqlite also ported the test suite. They wrote https://gitlab.com/cznic/tcl to run the TCL-based tests, for example.

Show HN: My Go SQLite driver did poorly on a benchmark, so I fixed it
> I would've probably picked the modernc variation
Heads up about the modernc library, it has been stuck on an old version of sqlite for several months [1]. It seems like maintainer time is the limiting factor [2]. There has been a call to arms on that issue page, the maintainer is looking for help, but it looks like not much has arrived. It seems like it might trace back to blockers in the C-to-Go compiler.
It's a major undertaking and a very impressive piece of work, but I'm not surprised it's a struggle when big roadblocks get hit. I hope they find a way to progress, but I'm very relieved to be seeing some CGo-free alternatives like ncruces/go-sqlite3 emerging. I'm going to give it a try for sure and see if I can live with the compromises.
Squinn-go looks very compelling too, but I don't like that it requires the squinn binary to already be installed on a user's machine, I think that gives with one hand and takes with the other: sure, I get to avoid CGo, but I also lose the turnkey, single-command install, static build benefits Go brings out of the box.
Seconding the point about nitty gritty, I'd read it for sure too!

Show HN: Sqinn-Go is a Golang library for accessing SQLite databases in pure Go
No, but that has the disadvantage of being C compiled into Go, then being compiled into native executable.
I'm actually surprised by how readable this came out; props to the Go->C compiler author. But you can guess that pushing this sort of thing through the Go compiler is going to cause some slowdowns due to sheer paradigm mismatch: https://gitlab.com/cznic/sqlite/-/blob/master/lib/sqlite_lin...

FWIW, we use a version of SQLite transpiled into Go to avoid CGI problems: https://gitlab.com/cznic/sqlite

Go port of SQLite without CGo
It could be clearer in the readme, but note that this is a machine translation from C to Go, repeated for every OS-Arch pair. Example of the one you're most likely to use in production: https://gitlab.com/cznic/sqlite/-/blob/master/lib/sqlite_linux_amd64.go
