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.

Velato: A programming language where source code must be a valid MIDI music file
Interesting!
Similar note-based expression can be found on TidalCycles/Strudel. although it's not valid MIDI format anymore, you can use notation like c4, f3, and make them as "pattern". Samples are also supported in the same manner:

And in my project Glicol, I use only numbers in the seq node. So 60 means middle C. Underscore means rest.

Opusmodus: Common Lisp Music Composition System
TidalCycles doesn't. And you can try it online without installing anything.

Try evaluating `d1 $ s "bd sn"` to get a bass drum-snare drum rhythm going. Then `d1 $ s "bd*2 sn"` to kick the bass drum twice each loop instead of once. It can be extremely intuitive.

Tidal Cycles – Live coding music with Algorithmic patterns
An easy way to experiment with this is via Strudel[1], a JS port that plays in-browser (annoyingly, works better with Chrome than Safari.)

I made a command-line tool to assist me with writing polyrhythmic drum parts
It's recently gotten a great deal easier to play with thanks to Strudel, a JS variant.
Strudel REPL: https://strudel.tidalcycles.org/
One interesting feature of Tidalcycles is Euclidean Sequences, where various 'natural' ways of distributing X notes over Y durations are easily expressed:

How to start into coding generative music
It has a modular design so you can pick together different pieces to build into your project, if you're happy with AGPL: https://github.com/tidalcycles/strudel/

Opusmodus: Common Lisp Music Composition System
Have a look at MNX, which is in the process of being designed:
https://w3c.github.io/mnx/docs/
It's an open JSON format that's being hashed out by members of the music technology community. It's not production-ready yet, but I encourage you to get involved in the discussions! https://github.com/w3c/mnx/
(I lead creation of the format, as one of the co-chairs of the W3C Music Notation Community Group.)

MusicXML
You might also be interested in MNX, which is the new format being developed by the W3C Music Notation Community Group as sort of a next-generation MusicXML: https://github.com/w3c/mnx/
