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.

Ask HN: What weird technical scene are you fond/part of?
I like the drawingbots discord server, and this blog: https://inconvergent.net/#about, also follow #plottertwitter

Ask HN: Resources to learn generative art programming?
processing.org/ or p5.js are both excellent tools with lots of documented examples to help get going.
I'd also recommend the pen plotter community, which is heavily involved in generative art but also enjoys physically plotting the art with robotic tools. See https://inconvergent.net/ for examples, there are many others.

Very cool. I must check this out.

Profound Beliefs
In some small way I am revisiting the idea with https://github.com/kaveh808/kons-9
We'll see what comes of it.

Symbolics Lisp Machines Graphics Demo (1990)
I began my 3D graphics development on a Symbolics workstation at the MIT Media Lab in the mid-80's. This was before the S-Graphics suite was released. [0]
The outstanding feature of the S-Graphics suite was the polygonal modeler which used a winged-edge structure that was far ahead of its time. It survives conceptually in the Wings3D system, which is a quite faithful copy of that modeler.
And of course you got the extensibility that came with the graphics system being built on Lisp.
But Symbolics was never, as far as I saw, a serious or popular contender in 3D production. Not only was the system expensive, but the hardware could not keep up with SGI's graphics abilities. Furthermore, the mass of CG developers at the time came from a C/Unix background, and rendering especially was so speed critical that C (and Fortran) resulted in faster systems.
Almost 40 years later, I have returned to the idea of developing a 3D system in Common Lisp [1]. We shall see where it leads.

A good codebase to study as a beginner
If you are interested in 3D graphics, I have tried to keep my code simple and comprehensible: https://github.com/kaveh808/kons-9

Coding alone vs coding in a team
As a solo developer of my 3D system, my main focus has been to keep the enthusiasm and momentum going and to enjoy the development process, rather than worrying about how the code might not be optimal in various regards.
