Ahrefs (BTW we use OCaml) and CrowdStrike both appear on the Smoower Developer Ecosystem Index.

CrowdStrike (rank #55) holds a modest lead over Ahrefs (rank #401) on the overall Smoower ecosystem score (60 vs 41). The gap of 19 points reflects composite signals across code, docs, community and reach.

On education (docs, guides and learning material for developers), CrowdStrike is ahead of Ahrefs. On community (issue response, PR reviews and discussion health), CrowdStrike is ahead of Ahrefs. On reach (how visible the ecosystem is beyond its own repos), CrowdStrike is ahead of Ahrefs. On momentum (release cadence and how fast the ecosystem moves), CrowdStrike is ahead of Ahrefs.

Ahrefs carries 1,303 GitHub stars across 171 public repos, with 28 repositories active in the last 90 days and 7 external contributors on record. CrowdStrike shows 5,991 stars across 267 public repos, 74 active in the last 90 days and 23 external contributors. The star gap on its own does not decide the comparison, but CrowdStrike's footprint is roughly 4.6x larger, which usually shows up in downstream signals like inbound issues and third party integrations.
