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.

With rise of wayland, are simpler window managers dying?
Take a look to Vivarium It is more recent it worked decently and it is remakably easy to config.

I am looking for a wayland based tiling window manager which is close to dwm/xmonad, which one would you recommend?
I wrote Vivarium specifically to behave like my old xmonad setup, although it isn't at all like xmonad internally. It's configurable in C.

XMonad – The Automated Tiling WM
Since various people are asking about xmonad-like tiling in wayland:
I wrote Vivarium[0] specifically to be a wayland compositor that behaves exactly like my (fairly simple) xmonad config, but it's a relatively new/unstable compositor and nothing like xmonad internally.
River[1] has a fantastic tiling model via user-provided executables, which makes it very flexible and probably a good fit for many people wanting something xmonad-like.
Waymonad[2] exists as a direct xmonad-like compositor, but I think development has been basically stalled for a long time. Sometimes there's discussion about reviving it though.

Recommended Compositors
Vivarium has xwayland as an option, enabled by default.

xorg sucks, use swc
https://github.com/inclement/vivarium.git and https://github.com/djpohly/dwl.git are also great projects in the same vein.

Ninja is enough build system
Samurai is a faster, drop-in replacement for ninja.

Using Landlock to Sandbox GNU Make
"If you want to do what "scrappy Google" did these days, then you should use Python + Ninja."
Or, better yet, use a simpler, faster and more portable^1 Ninja written in C.

1. The "simpler, faster, and more portable", are the author's claims, not mine. I am not the author.

Moving SciPy to the Meson Build System
Why is Python not portable, as in, on which systems is "build Python and then use that to run Meson" not a reasonable option?
The CI for boson seems like it runs on platforms where Python definitely is available, but also I notice the CI uses samurai, a reimplementation of ninja with a similar motivation: https://github.com/michaelforney/samurai
Ninja is in C++ so I am even more confused at Sanurai.
Is this just an implementation-diversity thing? (which is great!)
-
xorg sucks, use swc
This means ninja is popular both on embedded for its tiny footprint (samurai is about 3k sloc and portable), and for humongous projects like Chrome, because it is infinitely scalable in complexity due to its genaration method.
