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.

Submissions to Spring Lisp Game Jam 2023
Arguably Pacman Clone - it uses WISP (non s-exps syntax for any lisp) + C-Mera which is some kind of mix of C and CL, and is written mostly in CL.

Is there a language with lisp syntax but C semantics?
c-mera does exist.

jc - Meta-program C/C++ with JavaScript
Thanks, you're right. I chose JS because it is so well-known, but I think it does have some other advantages as well. For example, if you need to run a lot of compatibility test commands, or need to generate code via external programs, or even make network requests to get config values or something, you can do all of that in parallel with JS async instead of sequentially like configure. You might find https://github.com/kiselgra/c-mera interesting. It's similar to this project but uses Lisp and a unified syntax.

Generate C code
I used https://github.com/kiselgra/c-mera for this purpose and it worked very well.

Carp – A statically typed Lisp, without a GC, for real-time applications
That's a Lisp preprocessor for a non-Lisp language.
If you program in C using the Common Lisp c-mera preprocessor, or any of the other similar systems, it's the same thing.
You're writing everything in S-exps, and the expansions use conses, but the output is C; so that of course cannot call cons at run time.

Syntatic Sugar that compiles to C
even more interesting are the handful of projects layering lisp style macros on top of C. i've seen several go by over the years; a quick google search brought up c-mera and cmacro.

Alternative to ECL?
If you look for lisp-like syntax in C: - cmera https://github.com/kiselgra/c-mera

Syntatic Sugar that compiles to C
Can't share details of my own work but you can check out projects like https://github.com/cxxxr/lisp-preprocessor, that's what got my attention in this direction.

Avium - A library trying to make object-oriented programming in C easier.
Looks good. I'm not sure that a union is the way to go. When I've thought about creating something like this in the past I've mostly considered it from the angle of starting with a different preprocessor, such as https://github.com/cxxxr/lisp-preprocessor, and using it to generate iterator interfaces and the like.
