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.

If you ever need random picking with weights, consider the weightedrandom package I authored.

We have getrandom at home
This may very well be a bit offtopic in the rust subreddit, but in case you need fast high quality non-crypto PRNG in Go, I've made one that I believe to be decent. It is unfortunate that math/rand is unlikely to significantly improve due to the backward compatibity and can't be recommended for anything non-trivial.

Alternative to math/rand and golang.org/x/exp/rand
I got a bit stuck trying to find a set of good permutation functions for all required bit widths; I've created an issue to collect information in one place.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing weightedrandom and rand you can also consider the following projects:
faker - Random fake data and struct generator for Go.
