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.

Why is there no simple C-like functional programming language?

Are there any ML style languages with no runtime?
LinearML almost fits the bill, but it doesn't have manual memory management. It has a linear type system that is similar to Rust's borrow checker. All values are required to be used exactly once, except for primitives types which can be used multiple times. You can observe a value (similar to Rust's shared reference), but you can't store observed values in records or variants.

Kinds and Higher order types use cases?
As for uses of kinds in general, I'm using them a lot in Aith. Except that, instead of using higher kinds I'm parameterizing my Type to allow for fancier classification then just "this is a type". I'm using kinds for

Why is there no simple C-like functional programming language?
Aith is another new one.

Resources to build an interpreter or PL in Haskell?
https://github.com/Superstar64/aith is also an interesting language, with substructural typing. The creator is also in the discord server if you have any questions

Type Annotation Decoration and Avoiding Regeneralization

How do you typecheck a macro?
It depends on how powerful you want your macros to be. In aith, my macros are just a compile time lambda calculus. My macros can only generate values or other macros, this limits them to being no more powerful then what you can normally do with functions but it (will when my language is usable) let me write code that I know will be inlined and edsls that compile into fast code. With these limitations I can completely type check macros ahead of time (because they are just like funcitons) and I can also use my kind system to prevent macro types from leaking out into normal ones.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing LinearML and aith you can also consider the following projects:
cogent - Cogent Project
unseemly - Macros have types!
klister - an implementation of stuck macros
besm - Resurrecting PP-BESM
hackett - WIP implementation of a Haskell-like Lisp in Racket
mal - mal - Make a Lisp
rakudo - 🦋 Rakudo – Raku on MoarVM, JVM, and JS
haskell-scheme - Writing a Scheme in Haskell
coalton - Coalton is an efficient, statically typed functional programming language that supercharges Common Lisp.
