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.

Why Is Common Lisp Not the Most Popular Programming Language?
> Lack of access to the C libraries.
???
I recently started learning Common Lisp for fun (and fun it is!) and the ease of accessing C libraries was one of the things that surprised me in a positive way.
Using https://github.com/rpav/cl-autowrap one can simply write (c-include "file.h") and the API defined in "file.h" is accessible from Lisp. I can't think of a simpler way.
Even without cl-autowrap, FFI using https://cffi.common-lisp.dev/ seems simple enough.

An Idea for Piggybacking Python (language) ecosystem
I think the closest is cl-autowrap. I can imagine a higher level wrapper around it by which it can translate the python header file into the CL counterpart, although I'm not sure how much work the translation might entail. Also, because python and lisp semantics can differ considerably, the generated code might be trying to do weird things - again an issue of translation.

Why Functional Programming Should Be the Future of Software
Common lisp has a "pretty OK" story for calling C code whenever some speed is needed [0,1]. In my opinion, they suffer from some of the documentation/quick start problems that common lisp has, but they're otherwise usable.
Some of Naughty Dog's late 90's/early 2000's games (Jak and Daxter, Jak II) were written in a lisp called GOAL, Game Oriented Assembly Lisp [2]

Common Lisp language extensions wish list?
The closest thing to what you request, that I'm aware of, is cl-autowrap (to use C code from Lisp) but it is not standard in any way. CFFI is the de facto standard for using C from Lisp across different implementations.

I have bolted together ECL and the Irrlicht game library
:claw tracks back to 2017 as a fork of cl-autowrap with cl-autowrap/pull/83 feature.

Common Lisp
If you're interested in FFI, then yeah CFFI is the standard. The other comments addressed speed, I also wanted to point out https://github.com/rpav/cl-autowrap which is built on top of CFFI and can help get a wrapper up and running faster. After using autowrap's c-include you can then use CFFI basically like normal or some useful autowrap/plus-c's helper functions -- e.g. in one project, I have an SDL_Event (https://wiki.libsdl.org/SDL_Event) and to access event.key.keysym.scancode I have a helper function that's just (plus-c:c-ref event sdl2-ffi:sdl-event :key :keysym :scancode). Last year I wanted to try out using FMOD, and even though it's closed source and has a (to me) "interesting" API things worked easily: https://gist.github.com/Jach/dc2ec7b9402d0ec5836a935384cacdc... More work would be needed to make a nice wrapper, type things more fully, etc. but depending on the C library you might find someone's already done that (or made a start) and made it available from quicklisp.

[Common Lisp] Best Libraries for Interfacing with UNIX-like Operating Systems?
In recent years there has also been cl-autowrap; caveats -

Alternative to ECL?
There is the cl-autowrap that can generate lisp packages from C header filesc- I am unsure if it sticks to ANSI C or goes beyond. It inturn depends on c2ffi for the first time around.

Google ZX – A tool for writing better scripts
Especially because these languages are only one package/install away and not two. I don‘t really get for which audience is targeted here. Usage in JS projects maybe, but then why not write it as npm tasks. ..
I‘m playing around with dotnet-scripts [1] at the moment (C# shop mainly) and this has the same issue imho. The reason why I looked into it was because we have developers not accustomed to bash etc. I still find it silly and would rather use ruby so…

Simple PowerShell things allowing you to dig a bit deeper than usual
>making powershell actually enjoyable to use
My solution was to stop using it and instead use dotnet-script
https://github.com/dotnet-script/dotnet-script
Scripting with the full power of modern C# has been a huge win for me. And same/similar scripts will work on Windows/Linux/Mac. As my work language is C#, I don't have to context switch to another language for scripting.

REST API using C# .NET 7 with MySql
I usually create a container that has all database migrations and tool to execute those migrations. I name migrations as [yyyyMMdd-HHmm-migration-name.sql] but please feel free to use any naming scheme, keep in mind how the tool would order multiple files to run those migrations. I have also added a wait-for-db.csx file that I would use as the entry point for database migrations container. This is a dotnet-script file and would be run using dotnet-script. I have pinned the versions that are compatible with .net sdk 3.1 as this the version roundhouse is build against at the time of writing.

Is it possible to create executable from file instead of project, like java or go?
thanks, this is very good idea too, and with dotnet-script we can publish executable out of the script!

C# vs Python
Yes, you can have single-file scripts too. There might be more options to achieve this, but the one that I use is running *.csx files via the dotnet-script (https://github.com/dotnet-script/dotnet-script).

Why Functional Programming Should Be the Future of Software
I do agree.
I think .Net has got it right. And dotnet-script [https://github.com/dotnet-script/dotnet-script] has been a game-changer for me with a REPL-like experience for unit testing and writing command-line utilities.
