Yes, I agree, but I also think the most interesting comparisons are intra-ecosystem. It does not make sense to use stars to compare a JS framework with a Clojure one, for example

This site has a list of repos with fast growth in their number of stars: http://gittrends.io/#/explore?page=1&language=All&domain=All.... The list seems to be based on the shape of the curve of stars growth.
