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.

An embeddable Prolog scripting language for Go
Some Prolog systems (like Ciao Prolog https://github.com/ciao-lang/ciao/blob/master/core/lib/forei...) implement bidirectional foreign interfaces. Once you have C bindings it is easy to write bindings from Rust, C++, or any other language (that can interoperate with C). I give here some details about Ciao because this is the system I know better but it should be similar for other popular Prolog implementations.
The tradeoffs depend on the complexity of the Prolog code and your needs for performance and features: pure LP, Prolog (search+unification+cut), garbage collection, dynamic database updates, constraint domains, etc. The Ciao Prolog engine is around 300-400KB. Adding a few libraries, compiler, etc. it goes to 2MB. Naive Prolog systems can be one order of magnitude smaller at the cost of sacrificing ISO compatibility, performance, etc. Note that "performance" can be very misleading. Some Prolog programs may run particularly fast in some Prolog system and very badly in others.

LIGMAScript programming language
Here's the webpage for it (on github). It has some code examples and a link to the git repository. Has no makefiles right now, just dump the whole /src/ folder and subfolders into an IDE to compile it. It compiles on gcc, don't know about other compilers.

Which phases/stages does your programming language use?
Here's the repository.
What are some alternatives?
prolog - The only reasonable scripting engine for Go.
AECforWebAssembly - A port of ArithmeticExpressionCompiler from x86 to WebAssembly, so that the programs written in the language can run in a browser. The compiler has been rewritten from JavaScript into C++.
