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.

How to convert an enum to string in C++
https://github.com/MaulingMonkey/winresult/
Another project: thindx. Bindings for d3dcompiler + d3d9 + xinput have a lot of enums and flags:
• 50 results in 49 files for flags!: https://github.com/search?q=repo%3AMaulingMonkey%2Fthindx%20...
• 77 results in 69 files for enumish!: https://github.com/search?q=repo%3AMaulingMonkey%2Fthindx+en...
• I still do things by hand somtimes, for reasons that elude my recollection: https://github.com/MaulingMonkey/thindx/blob/127d75f9de91f73...
And these are baby numbers compared to an actual professional gamedev codebase. Attention to detail makes me fairly comfortable with this much hand-generated nonsense in my one man show, but bugs still crop up... and there are people I would dread handing maintainence of such a project over to that I've worked with in a professional capacity, who simply do not care to exercise the same level of care as I do when editing such stuff.

How to convert an enum to string in C++
I really like better_enums instead of magic_enums. There’s no limit on enum size with it: http://aantron.github.io/better-enums/
It was heavily used at a former employer of mine, so definitely a solid production-ready solution.

What C++ library do you wish existed but hasn’t been created yet?
IIRC I then switched to another library doing the same stuff: https://github.com/aantron/better-enums It is not as magical, as it uses a special macro to define the enum, using dedicated syntax. So it only works for enums you yourself define. However, it did work a lot better for me with enums with huge values.

Behind the magic of magic_enum
I can't keep up! First we have better enum, then some guy at a conference says we have to use wise enum instead, and now you speak of magic enum!
- What are some cool modern libraries you enjoy using?

let's all be chads
If you need a laugh today, look at Better Enums library for C++. If you thought moving from C to C++ would let you leave macros behind, think again! Enums in C++ still suck (a bit less than in C though), so someone built a library to help with that. And it's built on macros. So you can only have 64 entries per enum. And the library's code is barely readable.
