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.

Is Clojure the only language you need?
So you can see, there are really a lot of choices but none of them dominates, which means they all have flaws. You can read a good article from Niki Tonsky where Clojure UI problems are discussed. Also to address the problems Niki Tonsky started the development of a new UI for Clojure, called Humble UI. So now we have one more option :)

So you're using a weird language
If you don't mind being stuck on Windows you could use Visual C# or Visual Basic, they have edit-and-continue too. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/debugger/edit... I've worked with the SuperTux C# level editor in the past. C# was actually pretty nice for GUI stuff.
There doesn't seem to be a good GUI framework for Clojure. There was Seesaw but it hasn't been updated since 2019. There is a guy developing a new framework https://github.com/HumbleUI/HumbleUI/ but it's WIP. I guess you could sidestep this by making it a webapp and using figwheel.

Ask HN: Does Java need a modern Java UI toolkit for desktop/web?
Nikita Prokopov is developing Humble UI which is worth keeping a close eye on. (Yes, it's Clojure, but Java interop is bound to emerge if it builds up a critical mass and catches on.)

The Decline and Fall of Java on the Desktop Part 1 (1999-2005)
I've made a few desktop apps in https://github.com/cljfx/cljfx (e.g., https://www.chronos-desk.com/), and cljfx (JavaFX + Clojure) is amazing and makes for rapid development, not to mention fun. I'm keeping an eye on https://github.com/HumbleUI/HumbleUI, which promises to be a step up.

What's the value proposition of meta circular interpreters?
I've tried researching this myself and can't find too much. There's this project metaes which is an mci for JS, and there's the SCI module of the Clojure babashka project, but that's about it. I also saw Triska's video on mci but it was pretty theoretical.

Embedding cherry in an existing CLJS app for runtime eval
Since cherry is a compiler, the code generally runs faster than with SCI which is an interpreter. For many cases SCI is fast enough, but numerical computations in a hot loop isn't one of its strenghts:

Compiled and Interpreted Languages: Two Ways of Saying Tomato
Startup and sustained performance are absolutely implementation issues. For example, SBCL will take its sweet time to make machine code out of Common Lisp, but CLISP will interpret and generate bytecode. Both are useful, and both implement the same language. Clojure on the JVM takes also takes plenty of time to start up, so some use an interpreter instead. Furthermore neither of these languages has a cost model, so the cost of anything is an implementation issue.

Third party integrations with a monolithic Clojure app
So far we have relied on an increasing number of home-grown integration points to our platform, where relevant combined with the excellent SCI (so we can write some Clojure-code when adhoc data conversions / calculations / tweaking is required).

Scala native equivalent to Clojure

Langdev in Clojure
You probably want to take a look at sci if you are creating a DSL or want to use Clojure itself as your DSL.

ClojureRS – Clojure interpreter implemented in Rust
Built with the lovely SCI library (https://github.com/babashka/sci) + GraalVM, probably the most useful GraalVM project I've seen in the wild so far.
Also, Babashka will probably always support more features than ClojureRS could ever, particularly the interop with the various Java classes/functions, as that'd be very hard to achieve in ClojureRS.
