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.

I used https://github.com/kumkee/utf8 (along with a bit of hacking) in my toy scheme interpreter to get Unicode strings.
Had to adapt some script I found to generate character class lookup functions to make it fully work IIRC and still need to plug-in some sort of copy on write mechanism since the strings managed in a shared buffer but other than that it works pretty well…if you’re into the unicorn strings that is.

The case against an alternative to C
Made this C lib for exactly the reasons you mention. I love C but got mad at the constant bounds errors and copying.

Proposal for a full-fledged C String
Dynamic allocation, SSO, views, refcounting, etc.. are spread on various implementations.
C++ separates string and string_view. And they're not fully compatible. (Ex. you can't concat cross-type !?).
Rust has str, &str, String Box, ... ?
In the spirit of "a slice of a string is still a string", why not pack it all into a single type ? And offer security in the process.
Here's the scheme : https://github.com/alcover/buffet/raw/main/assets/schema.png
