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.

EzGz - An easy to use single header no dependency library for decompression of .gz archives written in modern C++ (probably faster than zlib)
You may be right about this. I'm actually mainly concerned about including as just including it can increase binary size substantially, see e.g. https://github.com/nholthaus/units/issues/32

C++ lib for handling SI units
I personally use, and recommend, the units library by Holthaus: https://github.com/nholthaus/units

Is it just mean, or is C# easier to learn than JavaScript or even PHP?
It's not the type system you're complaining about, though. It takes a bit of work but you can write types that include units information with no loss of performance.

I'm a beginner making a library for unit conversion, contributions are welcome
I recommend using this as reference https://github.com/mpusz/units it probably solves the same or similar problem.

Why is this piece of code compiling with char as c-tor argument?
Yep. And there are some libraries to provide strong-type int, depending on what you need: type_safe or even units.

C++'s smaller cleaner language
Indeed you cannot. Then again, you couldn't write a library like fmtlib in C in the first place. I mean why do you complain about C++ features which enable you to write libraries you otherwise couldn't? How would you expect to implement equivalent libraries to EVE or mp-units in C alone?

I got curious about units of measure in programming languages so I recreated xkcd/687.
How does it compare with https://github.com/mpusz/units ?

I don't have a book to recommend, but I have a fantastic library: https://github.com/mpusz/units

Please Put Units in Names
Good C++ library for that topic is [0]. You can even go further and combine with something like [1] which is super helpful for kalman filters and other stuff where you have heterogeneous units in one vector.
