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.

Don't Invent XML Languages (2006)
There's plenty of history of s-expression formats for documentation. One example is: https://github.com/Clozure/ccl/tree/master/doc/manual
But, also, there's plenty of uses of XML that are not "artcles and books". For example, Maven's pom.xml and log4j2.xml.

The IDEs we had 30 years ago and we lost
The descendant of CCL runs on modern Intel Macs. (It also runs on Linux and Windows but without the IDE.) The modern IDE is quite a bit different from the original. In particular, it no longer has the interface builder. But it's still pretty good. It is now called Clozure Common Lisp (so the acronym is still CCL) and you can find it here:
https://ccl.clozure.com/
If you want to run the original that is a bit of a challenge, but still possible. The original was never ported directly to OS X so you have to run it either on old hardware or an emulator running some version of the original MacOS, or on an older Mac running Rosetta 1. In the latter case you will want to look for something called RMCL. Also be aware that Coral Common Lisp was renamed Macintosh Common Lisp (i.e. MCL) before it became Clozure Common Lisp (CCL again).
This looks like it might be a promising place to start:

plain-common-lisp: a lightweight framework created to make it easier for software developers to develop and distribute Common Lisp applications on Microsoft Windows
I was not aware that UIOP provided that function. plain-common-lisp used to be implemented with Clozure CL but eventually moved to SBCL due to the lack of maintenance of CCL. But now there is a hard dependency on SBCL.

Consuming HTTP endpoint using Common Lisp
I have decided it is time to have some fun and use Common Lisp to create algorithm representation that deals with parallel execution. For this I decided to use Clozure common lisp, put basic Qucklisp there and load some libraries to do this.

The Origins of Lisp
Lisp must be read outside->in to understand what it is saying. Given (foo (a) (b c)), if you don't know what foo is and just start reading (b c), which is inside, hoping that later you can work out what is foo, you could be going down a blind alley. foo could be a macro or special operator which entirely controls what (b c) means.
To understand what is calculated in Lisp, given that you understand what the syntax means, the evaluation is inside->out.
That's no different from math. In any languages that have math-like nested expressions with bracketing, you have inside-out evaluation.
The alternative are catenative languages and such, which have never been mainstream.
There are assembly languages which go line by line.
Imperative languages with statements and expressions tend to have small expressions where evaluation is followed inside-out; the rest of the control flow is just top down, with some forward and backward skips.
Lisp has all of the above in it. Lisp can be assembly language. For instance, in thsi source file from Clozure Common Lisp:
https://github.com/Clozure/ccl/blob/master/level-0/ARM/arm-h...
(defarmlapfunction fast-mod-3 ((number arg_x) (divisor arg_y) (recip arg_z))

“The Economics of Programming Languages” by Evan Czaplicki [video]
I really loved this talk and feel for Evan. As someone who was a VC/Angel investor in the space (I was the initial angel investor for something called LightTable/Eve) back in the day, worked for a couple of years at Red Hat, and am working on my own Open Source Language here: https://github.com/yazz/yazz (so yes, you could say I am a VC trying to build a low code product with my own hands), so I feel I have a valid opinions on this. I think that it is possible to make money in opensource as a little guy, but you need to have a combination of consulting, hosting, and support services. If your product is not able to encapsulate being sold and packaged as something that is possible to demo and sell to customers then you will most likely struggle to make a living from it

Ask HN: Why did Visual Basic die?
I am actually trying to make an open source successor, but using Javascript instead of Basic, at https://github.com/yazz/yazz and a demo at yazz.com

Show HN: Scrapscript – The Sharable Programming Language
Author of a framework that also stores it's code in IPFS for easy sharing (https://github.com/yazz/yazz). ScrapScript is a really nice concept with how it stores code. I originally got the idea for storing the code as a hash of the contents from Unison, and it looks like the idea is really starting to catch on with more and more languages now. Well done!

A look at Unison: a revolutionary programming language
I’m working on a low core project that is already using content addressable source code that is stored in IPFS at https://github.com/yazz/yazz so it can be done

DBOS: A Database-Oriented Operating System
There are already some Dbos type systems out there. I built one which stores program state in SQLite databases and process state and programs are also stored in SQLite. In the oat I believe things like silver stream did the same too. The project I made is open source too: https://github.com/yazz/yazz
