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.

Hermit is a hermetic and reproducible sandbox for running programs
That's been my experience as well. It lacks support for certain clone(2) flags like CLONE_VFORK[1], which limits the set of non-trivial programs it can run, and since running non-trivial programs is most of the point, I haven't revisited it since it was first announced.

So you think you want to write a deterministic hypervisor?
A Meta developer responded to an issue of mine on Hermit, and said:
"Just to let you know we're not actively working on Hermit in the team..."

Is Something Bugging You?
I really like antithesis' approach: it's non-intrusive as all the changes are on a VM so one can run deterministic simulation without changing their code. It's also technically challenging, as making a VM suitable for deterministic simulation is not an easy feat.
On a side, I was wondering how this approach compares to Meta's Hermit(https://github.com/facebookexperimental/hermit), which is a deterministic Linux instead of a VM.

Deterministic Linux for Controlled Testing and Software Bug-Finding
> AMA!
Eager to try it but encountering the build error here - https://github.com/facebookexperimental/hermit/issues/11
Do you have a reference build log / environment you can share? Last known good commit sha and/or output from "rustup show"?
