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.

Racket: The Lisp for the Modern Day
Looks like you're already in Emacs. I strongly recommend racket-mode as mentioned in another thread.
With regard to prototyping GUI's I'd suggest taking a look at https://github.com/mfelleisen/7GUI. https://github.com/Bogdanp/racket-gui-easy could also be a good place to start.
With regard to Racket more generally, I'm probably not the best person to ask since I had a very high friction start where I just banged my head against the wall until things made sense.
- Where to keep state for racket/gui app?

Racket Language
Racket is my favorite language. It's fast, practical, has solid foundations and an extremely nice concurrency story (based on concepts borrowed and extended from Concurrent ML). It has an excellent documentation system, with an integrated package ecosystem, which means that most packages have high quality documentation with cross-references. It has a great backwards-compatibility story -- a lot better than Python's, for example, which I use in my current dayjob. So, my impression of the commenters saying it's too academic or not practical is that they probably never dove deeply enough, or they are students who were only exposed to the teaching languages in the past. It's definitely not perfect: the community is small, the runtime has a high memory baseline, parallelism requires spinning up a Racket VM per system thread, among others, but these are things that will improve over time.
In the past several years, I've:
* built & run an e-commerce site written in Racket[1]
* built a native macOS and iOS reminders app, available on the App Store [2, 3, 4]
* built a cross-platform desktop client for Apache Kafka [5, 6, 7]
* built a `#lang` for Lua [8]
Among[9] other[10] things[11]. I think that's all pretty practical stuff!

Ask HN: What apps have you created for your own use?
A really simple keyboard driven reminder tool for macOS:
https://github.com/Bogdanp/remember
- Racket branch of Chez Scheme merging with mainline Chez Scheme

Ask HN: What Are You Working on This Year?
My goal for this year is to continue building (mainly Mac and iOS) apps (like Remember[1] and Franz[2]) using Racket and to help improve the language and ecosystem in any way I can.
