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.

D2 is now open source – a new, modern language that turns text to diagrams
Regarding our use of brew, our use is currently no more secure than the install script installing a standalone release as it uses our tap https://github.com/terrastruct/homebrew-d2. The formula is not in homebrew-core. It definitely does provide explicit guarantees on install/uninstall though I'll give you that.

Pikchr: A PIC-like markup language for diagrams in technical documentation
While not embedded in markdown, I like d2 [1]. I can use it with org-babel to embed and view the diagrams on emacs. After using graphviz for years, the visual output seems more polished to me. With that said, I want to give pikchr a try.

Documentation as Code for Cloud - C4 Model & Structurizr
In the next post I'll deep-dive into the D2 language which also has a huge set of features. Stay tuned.

Nomnoml
That site is created by the maintainers of D2[1], so it might be biased, but I still think D2 has the friendliest syntax of the bunch, including nomnoml.

Architecture diagrams enable better conversations
I've been using https://structurizr.com/ to automatically generate C4 diagrams from a model (rather than drawing them by hand). It works well with the approach for written documentation as proposed in https://arc42.org/. It's very easy to embed a C4 diagram into a markdown document.
The result is a set of documents and diagrams under version control that can be rendered using the structurizr documentation server (for interactive diagrams and indexed search).
I also use https://d2lang.com/ for declarative diagrams in addition to C4, e.g., sequence diagrams and https://adr.github.io/ for architectural decision records. These are also well integrated into structurizr.
