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.

Vala Programming Language
My favorite thing about Vala personally is the wide range of native libraries you have access to because of its compatibility with GObjects.
There's a great documentation website that has everything located in one place also, which makes development a breeze: https://valadoc.org/
-
Package management
Meson is the preferred build system, and Valadoc.org is invaluable.

Need guidance for developping GTK4 + Libwaita apps
You can use guides written for C along with https://valadoc.org.

valadoc.org is down.
I'm not sure who needs to be contacted, but valadoc.org is down. I was unable to reach it in Firefox or Chrome. Who do I need to contact? I'm seeing that elementaryOS is hosting valadoc.org, is that still the case?
-
My first experience with Vala
The official Vala documentation is valadoc.org. I found the ecosystem of libraries around the language yet immature: it's not easy to found information or examples (an often when you found something it's pretty old). There isn't a standardization of the documentation of the libraries. This fact doesn't help a newbie.

Recommended language for developing a GTK4 app?
I believe Vala is the best choice since the syntax is so simple, and has amazing documentation here
-
Am I a bad developer?
For going further, a lot of the API references are friendlier now. I like Valadoc. PyGObject exists for Python. C and Rust don't seem to have a good centralized source, but the documentation is a lot better now a days.
-
What is a good starting point and a programming language to start GTK4 app development?
Vala is not very widely used, but all applications in Elementary OS are written in Vala, and their Developer Docs will help you get started writing your first GTK4 application in Vala really quickly. From there on, you can use the excellent valadoc.org for API reference, or browse the source code of Elementary apps on Github.
-
Is there any good documentation about GTK#?
I'm often using documentation from another language binding when developing with GTK. Most of the time the Vala documentation https://valadoc.org/, because the language was designed around GLib and GTK. In your case it's even closer, because Vala is a C# knockoff with a different backend. Should keep you clear from C verbosity.

What’s the story behind Valadoc’s slogan: “Stays crunchy. Even in milk.”?
Found a monumental commit 😌: https://github.com/vala-lang/valadoc-org/blob/3f434c8bcd76b711d0262284fadbdeeb47165e6a/README.md

Writing Gnome Apps with Swift
There is Relm (https://relm4.org/). Which is in Rust is just GTK (through it's Rust bindings) with a nice reactivity layer on top.
-
Resources for learning to write ui files for GTK4
I’d recommend you checking out https://relm4.org if you know a little Rust. Relm4 is currently the easiest and most intuitive way to write GTK
-
[media] Czkawka 6.0 - File cleaner, now finds similar audio files by content, files by size and name and fix and speedup similar images search
Relm4 might make your migration easier. It has factories which make it easy to create lists (both sync and async) and recently added TypedListView as another useful abstraction over pure gtk-rs. There is a lot of potential in Rust + GTK, you just have to find idiomatic abstractions.
-
What are the scenarios where "Rewrite it in Rust" didn't meet your expectations or couldn't be successfully implemented?
Did you try Relm? It's an implementation is the elm architecture (think react) on top of Gtk. Given your experience with Gtk it might suit you really well, as you can even take only parts of it and continue using bare Gtk for the rest. Give it a try!

GUI development with Rust and GTK 4
What about relm4? Is it generally feature complete? Can one use relm4 for most things, and drop to gtk4 for the oddball task that is not supported?

Newbie needs help with Relm4 errors. On Kubuntu
Using this example: https://github.com/Relm4/Relm4/blob/main/examples/simple.rs
-
Forte! A new way of writing Gtk apps for GNOME.
What advantage would this Rust crate have over Relm4? It seems pretty similar to me, save for the property based syntax that Forte has, instead of the set_* ones used on Relm4.
-
Need guidance for developping GTK4 + Libwaita apps
If you like Rust I recommend Relm4, one of the best experiences I’ve had with a framework tbh, be sure to learn gtk-rs first.
