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.

DreamBerd is a perfect programming language
Check out jinx https://jamesboer.github.io/Jinx/

what is your CI/CD pipeline setup and how are you handling larger binaries? are smaller game dev studios just brute forcing through LFS and building for each test?
Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of automated tests where it makes sense. I wrote a scripting language that I use for my personal game projects, and I never would have been able to do it if it weren't for the battery of tests for every feature, error, and corner case I could think of. But games are rarely like other software, with hard rules about what is "correct" or "incorrect". And it would be a nightmare to try to keep up with designers, constantly tweaking and tuning, so what's "correct" is literally a day to day, constantly moving target.

any modern procedural programming languages?
A second trial for you might be Jinx. Depending on your definition of procedural, Jinx is 100% only procedural. https://jamesboer.github.io/Jinx/

Which phases/stages does your programming language use?
Jinx (embeddable scripting language) works as following:
- How do I create a file that will automatically compile and run my c++ program when I double click it?
-
Is I already know C and OOP, do I basically already know C++?
Feel free to look at my own interpreter, written in modern C++. You're welcome to ask me if you have any questions.

I'm curious what a gameplay programmer would use a scripting language for
I use my own scripting language more like content, especially for things like one-off events and behaviors. Example: scripting special behaviors for a boss fight, or a room with a unique trap in it, or any other sort of one-off behavior that would be overkill for C++, but too complex for most other types of data-driven content. These days, visual scripting also helps to fill in these gaps between content and procedure.

What are the best free books for learning to write interpreters in C++?
You're welcome to look at my scripting language Jinx, written in modern C++. Just let me know if you have specific questions. Data flow is JxLexer.cpp -> JxParser.cpp -> JxScript.cpp. Most everything else is implementation details. Also, note the parer is pretty complex, mostly because Jinx has a crazily flexible syntax for functions.

Design examples for runtime scripting
Feel free to look at Jinx if you want an example of what I consider a fairly easy-to-use and integrate scripting system. Obviously, I'm a bit biased since I wrote it.

Is just UTF-8 support good enough?
If you're working in UTF-8 internally, you could just write your own UTF-16 to UTF-8 conversion functions to convert strings at API boundaries. I did this in my scripting language because I didn't want to bring in dependencies.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing MeanscriptCLI and Jinx you can also consider the following projects:
vigil - Vigil, the eternal morally vigilant programming language
funl - FunL programming language
RapidJSON - A fast JSON parser/generator for C++ with both SAX/DOM style API
utf8.h - 📚 single header utf8 string functions for C and C++
langs
zhetapi - A C++ ML and numerical analysis API, with an accompanying scripting language.
grace - The Grace Programming Language
abseil-cpp - Abseil Common Libraries (C++)
seer - Seer - a gui frontend to gdb
GPU-Raytracer - GPU Raytracer from scratch in C++/CUDA
Cwerg - The best C-like language that can be implemented in 10kLOC.
Nfy - A Lightweight Template-Based Notification Library
