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.

[D] Have their been any attempts to create a programming language specifically for machine learning?
In the opposite direction from your question is a very interesting project, TinyNN all implemented as close to the metal as possible and very fast: https://github.com/NVlabs/tiny-cuda-nn

A CUDA-free instant NGP renderer written entirely in Python: Support real-time rendering and camera interaction and consume less than 1GB of VRAM
This repo only implemented the rendering part of the NGP but is more simple and has a lesser amount of code compared to the original (Instant-NGP and tiny-cuda-nn).

Small Neural networks in Julia 5x faster than PyTorch
...a C++ library with a CUDA backend. But these high-performance building blocks might only be saturating the GPU fully if the data is large enough.
I haven't looked at implementing these things, but I imagine uf you have smaller networks and thus less data, the large building blocks may not be optimal. You may for example want to fuse some operations to reduce memory latency from repeated memory access.
In PyTorch world, there are approaches for small networks as well, there is https://github.com/NVlabs/tiny-cuda-nn - as far as I understand from the first link in the README, it makes clever use of the CUDA shared memory, which can hold all the weights of a tiny network (but not larger ones).

[D] Have their been any attempts to create a programming language specifically for machine learning?
I absolutely agree with the OP. Out of the same frustration I actually ended up designing my own language and wrote a compiler for it, and now I use it for all my ML modelling. It probably only solves my particular problems and I don't expect it to be very useful for anyone else, but here goes, in case anyone is curious: https://github.com/waveworks-ai/fl
