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.

What second language to learn after Python?
Well, regarding HTML5, what I've found was libxml (does not support tag-soup HTML5), https://github.com/lexbor/lexbor, for which I was unable to find good documentation ( see https://lexbor.com/docs/lexbor/#dom), Apache Xerces (appears to not support tag-soup HTML5 as well), and Gumbo, which does not appear to be active and to support selectors and XPath (although there are libraries that add that).

SVG Based GUI
Starting off, SVG is an XML encoding, which is a rather hairy thing to deal with. Just to get a feel for LOCs:
https://github.com/GNOME/libxml2
There's also the web's (horrible) tendency to make a diarrhea of special-purpose tags and attributes--many of which could be easily subsumed by basic turing-completeness. Compare to postscript, which was a relatively simple, turing complete, stack machine to begin with.
And of course, if we start special-purposing things, we're no longer compliant with the standard, and it would be chaos to call it SVG at that point.
What are some alternatives?
Expat - The Expat XML Parser
TinyXML - TinyXML2 is a simple, small, efficient, C++ XML parser that can be easily integrated into other programs.
PugiXML - Light-weight, simple and fast XML parser for C++ with XPath support
gumbo-parser - An HTML5 parsing library in pure C99
Libxml2 - Read-only mirror of https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2
TinyXML++ - This project is obsolete. TinyXML-2 offers a very similar C++ interface.
