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.

The Little Typer – The Beauty of Dependent Type Systems, One Step at a Time
This is one of my two favorite books in The Little ...er series. The other is The Rational Schemer. These are two of the most advanced books in the series.
The Little Typer provides an introduction to dependent types. These can by used to guarantee things like "applying 'concat' to a list of length X and list of length Y returns a list of X+Y". It is also possible, to some extent, to use dependent types to replace proof tools like Coq. Two interesting languages using dependent types are:
- Idris. This is basically "strict Haskell plus dependent types": https://www.idris-lang.org/)
- ATS. This is a complex systems-level language with dependent types: http://www.ats-lang.org/
The Rational Schemer shows how to build a Prolog-like logic language as a Scheme library. This is a very good introduction to logic programming and the implementation of backtracking and unification is fascinating.
This is an excellent series overall, but these two books are especially good for people who are interested in unusual programming language designs. I don't expect dependent types or logic programming to become widely-used in the next couple generations of mainstream languages, but they're still fascinating.

The case against an alternative to C
> any safety checks put into the competing language will have a runtime cost, which often is unacceptable
This is completely wrong. The best counterexample is probably ATS http://www.ats-lang.org which is compatible with C, yet also features dependent types (allowing us to prove arbitrary statements about our programs, and check them at compile time) and linear type (allowing us to precisely track resource usage; similar to Rust)
A good example is http://ats-lang.sourceforge.net/DOCUMENT/ATS2CAIRO/HTML/c36.... which uses the Cairo graphics library, and ends with the following:
> It may seem that using cairo functions in ATS is nearly identical to using them in C (modulo syntatical difference). However, what happens at the level of typechecking in ATS is far more sophisticated than in C. In particular, linear types are assigned to cairo objects (such as contexts, surfaces, patterns, font faces, etc.) in ATS to allow them to be tracked statically, that is, at compile-time, preventing potential mismanagement of such objects. For instance, if the following line:
val () = cairo_surface_destroy (sf) // a type error if omitted

Why is ATS not considered in the design of modern system languages?
Here's the homepage fo the language: http://www.ats-lang.org/. The trick to finding results about with google is to search "ATS programming language".
- Is it possible to make a functional programming language that is equivalent of Rust in terms of performance and resource efficiency?

Ask HN: What technology is “cutting edge” in 2022?
Another language I would add to this list is the ATS Language¹. First released in 2013, it tries to follow closer to performance and minimalism of C which can make it a good candidate for systems level programming.

Why Static Languages Suffer From Complexity
There is the ATS programming language. Though it is not very user-friendly :)
-
Are there any other programming languages that use a similar memory architecture?
ATS language and Pony are similar in that regard.
- Are there any ML style languages with no runtime?

Mojo is now available on Mac
Agreed. Here is a serious contender[0] minus all the hype and the $100M in VC money. You would expect a minimum of interest given how Mojo is received by the community, but not really in practice.

Ask HN: How do I get the most benefit out of my programming language?
I suggest posting to a PLT focused resource, such as http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/
That said, a bit confused about the languages you reference in this context (Python, C#, JS) - didn't see any mention here or at your github repo of languages (some relatively ancient) in this space designed.
