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.

C Is Not a Low-level Language – Your computer is not a fast PDP-11
Well Forth is possibly the most minimal VM over a platform, as evidenced by openfirmware.
It does have problems scaling though, in that if you've seen one Forth, you've seen one Forth ie. The variations required to fit a platform make them semi-incompatible.
That's not to say that a more lispy Forth wouldn't be useful though, in that a concatenative syntax allows us to pass custom datastructures around like APL, and CPS (delimited continuations with lexically scoped dynamic binding would come from the lisp side (see https://github.com/manuel/wat-js).
Memory management in Forth can handle multiple memory types eg. https://flashforth.com/ so adding something like ref counting (https://github.com/zigalenarcic/minilisp/blob/main/main.c) to handle the dynamic list side of things might mesh well.
In any case, if you're looking for a self hosting lisp that runs on bare metal, https://github.com/attila-lendvai/maru has been out for a few years.

About making a self hosting programming language
Take a look at Maru. The github project has links to other similar projects.

Why can't there be a LISP dialect/system that directly translates to optimal machine code?
That's the idea behind the Maru Project. It's a really cool concept and more people should know about it.
- lisp but small and low level?Does it make sense?

Roc – A fast, friendly, functional language
Carp - https://github.com/carp-lang/Carp - "A statically typed lisp, without a GC, for real-time applications." where it's "Ownership tracking enables a functional programming style while still using mutation of cache-friendly data structures under the hood".

Ask HN: Looking for statically typed, No-GC and compiled Lisp/scheme
Looking for a personal project so open-source would be great, but maturity/production readiness is not really a factor.
The only significant thing i can find so far is https://github.com/carp-lang/Carp.
Anything notable that i might have missed ?

Lisp in Space
Not CL, but there is ulisp (http://www.ulisp.com/) for microcontrollers, supposed to be really tiny, and there is Carp (https://github.com/carp-lang/Carp) which is without a GC so seems suitable for real-time stuff.

Yet nobody questions ABAP, Lua, Julia, Groovy or Scala, both of them are under Lisp in TIOBE Index
by their powers combined
- Good languages for writing compilers in?

Emerging Rust GUI libraries in a WASM world
Everybody is trying to make a more user-friendly Rust. The problem is that it is not clear yet whether that's possible, and if it is, how it may look. I know Vale and have tried it, though it's extremely early to judge anything so far. It does have a much stronger theoretical background than V, but even the theory is not completely clear at this point.
There is also Carp by the way: https://github.com/carp-lang/Carp
