The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
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.

Can one use lambda calculus as an IR?
Depending on what you mean by practical it already is! https://github.com/HigherOrderCO/Kind HVM was developed to be an efficient backend for the Kind language from the same folks

By leveraging HVM's speed and paralelism, Kind manages to be faster than all the big name proof assistants.

HVM, the parallel functional runtime, will soon run on GPUs!
I agree. Keep in mind our language (Kind-Lang) does target the HVM, and it is really promising. The type-checker is the fastest among proof assistants, by far; the error messages are really nice; it has a fully dependent type system which is a breath of fresh air to work with. It is still not production ready though (mostly due to lack of IO), but is the extend of our effort on that direction. We hope other lang developers get encouraged to target the HVM to. Elm and Idris are great candidates for that IMO.
