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.

My VM is lighter (and safer) than your container
Most should already exist on your mac if you do development... it seems to rely on qemu, unsurprisingly... openjdk as well (probably to support Java out-of-the-box?), imagegick etc.
Took a few minutes to finish installing... the CLI seems to be based on the Docker commands (build, clean, run, 'net create', inspect etc.), some package-manager like commands ('pkg info', 'pkg pull', 'pkg list' etc.), a bunch of "cloud" commands (I suppose that's the non-free part) and "compose" commands just like docker-compose. Interesting stuff.
Not for the parent commenter: the Lua link in the landing page is broken: https://github.com/unikraft/catalog/tree/main/examples/http-...
I tried to run the C hello world example... I get an error, it wants to run Docker?!?! I thought the whole point was to avoid Docker (and containers)??
Here's the log:

Firecracker MicroVMs
How does that compare to firecracker-containerd?
https://github.com/firecracker-microvm/firecracker-container...
This repository enables the use of a container runtime, containerd, to manage Firecracker microVMs. Like traditional containers, Firecracker microVMs offer fast start-up and shut-down and minimal overhead. Unlike traditional containers, however, they can provide an additional layer of isolation via the KVM hypervisor.
- Docker Without Docker
What are some alternatives?
container-shell - Starts and attaches a sandboxed shell using docker with access to the current or project directory
lxd - Powerful system container and virtual machine manager [Moved to: https://github.com/canonical/lxd]
Quark - A secure container runtime with CRI/OCI interface
kata-containers - Kata Containers is an open source project and community working to build a standard implementation of lightweight Virtual Machines (VMs) that feel and perform like containers, but provide the workload isolation and security advantages of VMs. https://katacontainers.io/
firecracker-containerd - firecracker-containerd enables containerd to manage containers as Firecracker microVMs
ignite - Ignite a Firecracker microVM
kubevirt - Kubernetes Virtualization API and runtime in order to define and manage virtual machines.
gvisor - Application Kernel for Containers
linuxkit - A toolkit for building secure, portable and lean operating systems for containers
firebuild - Convenience of containers, security of virtual machines
lxd - Powerful system container and virtual machine manager
