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.

On the impossibility of composing finalizers and FFI
Unfortunately things aren't so simple, as when doing JIT compilation, LuaJIT _will_ try to shorten the lifetimes of local variables. Using the latest available version of LuaJIT (https://github.com/LuaJIT/LuaJIT/commit/0d313b243194a0b8d239...), the following reliably fails for me:
local ffi = require"ffi" -
Building a baseline JIT for Lua automatically
I am using https://luajit.org/ in my GCC C++ project.
Can I use this faster Lua JIT in my project as a replacement? And if so, how so?
The existing luajit doesn't do v5.1, so it would be nice to use this newer engine at the newer baseline lua version level.

LuaJIT Uses Rolling Releases
I think https://github.com/LuaJIT/LuaJIT/commit/6a2163a6b45d6d251599... improved things a bit, notably making automatic tarballs work again.

How to clear a table without wasting memory?
There is nothing on luajit.org, so I assume that 2.0 doesn't have the extensions added (think the site is still on 2.0). However I found some proof in the mirrored git repo, that they do exist and also my luajit interpreter (2.1.0-beta3) shows them as builtins.

Recommendations for JS Engines that could be embedded in my Game Engine
If you absolutely want a performant scripting runtime, I'd recommend taking a look at LuaJit, DaScript or AngelScript.

Any embeddable language compatible with C (like Lua) but compiled?
If you don't like that - look towards JIT-compilers. Lua has one
