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.

I used to really be into Sun's old OPEN LOOK and XView toolkit
I agree. I was very disappointed when OPEN LOOK was dropped in Solaris 9. There is a 64-bit fork of XView, though I haven't been able to compile it. Having it work with anti-aliased fonts would be a nice update.

If one GUI's not enough for your SPARC workstation, try four
I think a few people claim to have done it, for example https://github.com/ggodd/xview-64bit.

Leigh Klotz has written more PostScript than Jamie too, while working at Xerox! But "KLOTZ IS A LOGO PRIMITIVE [BEEP BEEP BEEP]". He wrote a 6502 assembler in Logo!

Leigh Klotz's comment on the regex article:
>OK, I think I’ve written more PostScript by hand than Jamie, so I assume he thinks I’m not reading this. Back in the old days, I designed a system that used incredible amounts of PostScript. One thing that made it easier for us was a C-like syntax to PS compiler, done by a fellow at the Turning Institute. We licensed it and used it heavily, and I extended it a bit to be able to handle uneven stack-armed IF, and added varieties of inheritance. The project was called PdB and eventually it folded, and the author left and went to First Person Software, where he wrote a very similar language syntax for something called Oak, and it compiled to bytecodes instead of PostScript. Oak got renamed Java.

Arthur van Hoff (the author of PdB and the original Java compiler written in Java) has also written more PostScript than Jamie, especially if you count the PostScript written by programs he wrote, like PdB and GoodNeWS/HyperNeWS/HyperLook.
Here's the README file (and distribution) of PdB, Arthur van Hoff's object oriented C to PostScript compiler:

Also a paper by Arthur van Hoff about "Syntactic Extensions to PdB to Support TNT Classing Mechanisms":
