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.

I wrote a Cozy Programming language
When i started on writing Paka in March 2020 I had no idea what I was getting into.

MiniVM: A zero-dependency cross-language runtime on par with LuaJIT and C
I think bins/boot.bc in the paka repo is a minivm binary file that does bootstrapping for paka.

MiniVM: A minimal cross-language runtime that beats C/luajit on some benchmarks
Personally, I find it pretty impressive that it performs as well as these runtimes despite not having a JIT compiler. I'm pretty sure Shaw's written more benchmarks, but as the README explains, it's really hard to tell what the performance characteristics of a language are without writing a larger application. So far the largest applications written with MiniVM is Paka[0], a self-hosted language similar to Lua that targets MiniVM; os49[1], an operating system built on Paka/MiniVM in the spirit of lisp machines; and xori[2], an online playground for the language.

Feedback on my pet language SIMPL
Some similar languages from this community: my Paka (even down to the println), and someone else's Cthulhu.
