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.

Raku is going BASIC
Macros, not sure, I haven't used them, but they were the main impetus behind RAST so... probably moving along rather nicely. A lot of work was put into figuring out how they should be implemented over the past nearly decade (see Alma, née 007).

Show HN: Bel in Clojure
(C) Kernel's operatives do a syntax->"side effect" transformation, at that same late stage as Bel's macros. Kernel operatives are essentially functions, except that the evaluation of the operands (syntax) into arguments (values) has been suppressed. In this sense, operatives are small interpreters.
If an (A) macro is well-behaved, you can often "optimize" it either to a (B) form or a (C) form. In my Bel implementation, it took me ages to notice that I could do the latter. I documented it here: https://github.com/masak/alma/issues/302#issuecomment-992556...
