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.

13 Years of History Teaching - Now Thrown Into CS.
So you’re wondering what would making music with code look like? The tools I’m familiar with are TidalCycles, Sonic Pi, and SuperCollider. I’m having a hard time describing what it’s like to make music with tools like these so here’s a video of a performance. One person is live coding the music and the other is live coding the visuals. I think it’s super cool how the music is improvised and built over time by layering commands. Some keywords you could search to see more examples would be Algorave and Livecoding.

Where is Haskell used?
https://tidalcycles.org/ is another great example, parsing patterns of text and printing live music.
-
Live coding languages
For sound live coding/algorave sonic pi and tidal cycles are great, both based on supercollider.

Sonic Pi – The Live Coding Music Synth for Everyone
I don't know the alternatives but I'm a big fan of https://tidalcycles.org/. People really do crazy things, check out the videos on the front page.
I love when 2 DJs live-code together (on the same document! Editing each other's loops) or when a VJ live-codes some visuals in reaction to the DJ live-coding the music.

What is a little known subject/application/problem that you learned about recently or are involved in that you think is fascinating?
If you're interested in ChuCK, there's also Pure Data (a FOSS cousin of the commercial Max/MSP) and SuperCollider and a lot of live coding algorave sorta music things are built on top of SuperCollider like TidalCycles so you can execute lines of code live via a REPL or evaluating blocks of code in a document and generate beats in realtime.

The Way in Which Brian Eno Created Ambient 1: Music for Airports
Tidal Cycles! https://tidalcycles.org/
As layer8 mentioned, it is technically Haskell but more specifically a DSL and environment for live coding music.
Pretty fun to play around with!

How would someone who is deathly broke become a serious rapper?
After digging deeper, I've found TidalCycles tidalcycles.org and that's my favorite Livecoding software. Now you can start programming music without any cost.

Formalizing Konnakol using Haskell - GSoC '22
The code written in this regard can be found here. My contributions focused on designing, implementing and integrating the Sequence module with the help of the Context module.

Tidal Cycles – Live coding music with Algorithmic patterns
Personally I've never been attracted to writing SuperCollider code, especially not in a live context, largely due to its syntax, but also its complexity.
So-called 'visual programming languages' I don't find interesting for performance, since they rely on the mouse for program manipulation.
For me Tidal's mini-notation is the greatest music sequencing tool of all time, bar none. Every time someone shows me a sequencer I can usually write the Tidal code in my head on the spot, and save $1000s on redundant hardware. It could only be beaten by being turned into a physical instrument, something I've tried to do in the past: https://github.com/jarmitage/Stenophone.
That being said, even though I'm evidently a big Tidal fan I would still call attention to ICLC and HLCI, where amazingly creative and interesting new systems and approaches are being proposed every year:

Plover (rhymes with “hover”) is a free, open-source stenography engine
Mirabai Knight's talk about this is one of my all time faves: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wpv-Qb-dB6g
Inspired me to try to create a live coding musical instrument based on it: https://github.com/jarmitage/stenophone / https://iclc.toplap.org/2017/cameraReady/stenophone_camready...
