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.

Frawk: A fast, JITted, statically-typed AWK written in Rust
One of my recent project requires a fast awk implementation, and I tried frawk and got surprised by how robust it is. Although eventually we chose https://github.com/noyesno/awka for better native awk script compatibility, it's still wonderful to see a project incorporating recent advances of programming language implementation into the ancient awk.

awkcc: awk-to-C transcompiler (1988, 2011)
Interested parties should also check out awka (https://github.com/noyesno/awka) and ELVM (which can compile C into awk or sed, among various other things) (https://github.com/shinh/elvm)

Big list of ASCII games you can play in the terminal
And since you can actually convert awk to C, that means that sed can actually do anything awk can.

A Git Implementation in Awk
ok, I found https://github.com/noyesno/awka so it is possible, though it uses it's own lib to link against - I don't know how much of that is based on AWK C vs original code.

Having never heard of Gambit, it looks like Gambit:Scheme::Awka:AWK

Literate programming: Knuth is doing it wrong
The whole of ferret's source code is in a single org-mode file, following the literate programming style: https://github.com/nakkaya/ferret/blob/master/ferret.org

Learning Clojure made me return back to C/C++
fyi there's some middle ground via ferret if you want to mix the two in the future. I think janet lang is more full featured, borrowing ideas from clojure while targeting simple embedding alongside c.

uLisp
Another commenter already mentioned Gambit Scheme. That provides for inline C and therefore very easy interop with external libraries. It still has a runtime and GC though - those might pose a problem depending on your platform and task.
Ferret (https://github.com/nakkaya/ferret) and Carp (https://github.com/carp-lang/Carp) are both Lisp-like low level languages. Both seem to be fairly experimental in nature though.
> anything but C
Taking you literally, Rust and D can both compile for bare metal. D in particular has a "Better C" subset. (https://dlang.org/spec/betterc.html)
In the same vein, Terra is a C like language (manual memory management) that you metaprogram with Lua. (https://github.com/terralang/terra)
Taking you very literally, Forth is also an option.

Writing a whole program in Org Mode
Impressive. Wonder how the performance in Emacs will be with a file this big... org source file
What are some alternatives?
frawk - an efficient awk-like language
janet - A dynamic language and bytecode vm
goawk - A POSIX-compliant AWK interpreter written in Go, with CSV support
ulisp - A version of the Lisp programming language for ATmega-based Arduino boards.
Lua-RTOS-ESP32 - Lua RTOS for ESP32
Carp - A statically typed lisp, without a GC, for real-time applications.
tinyscheme - TinyScheme is easy to learn and modify. It is structured like a meta-interpreter, only it is written in C.
