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.

Are my projects too ambitious for this machine?

Open Source library to compile some programming language to native code?
I've been writing Prog8 (in Kotlin) and it generates code for the 6502 cpu instead. I also find that generating reasonable efficient assembly is super hard. This is the first true compiler I've written that actually produces machine code. For now, it generates the assembly straight from the Ast (no intermediate representation yet), and the bulk of optimizations are done straight on the Ast.

I made a turbo tape with some of my favorite games.
Prog8 is also nice, it is a close-to-assembly language for 6502-based systems: https://github.com/irmen/prog8
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Mad-Pascal and prog8 you can also consider the following projects:
lzsa - Byte-aligned, efficient lossless packer that is optimized for fast decompression on 8-bit micros
millfork - Millfork: a middle-level programming language targeting 6502- and Z80-based microcomputers and home consoles
atari64 - Commodore 64 OS running on Atari 8-bit hardware
cc64 - cc64 is a small-C compiler written in Forth, hosted on the Commodore C64, Plus4 and C16 with 64k, and on the Commander X16. It is targeting the 6502 CPU.
