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.

Learning on Roblox
Once they grasp some lua basics and I've actually got a little code running but before I do much to make a game. I'd suggest you give them loom my fork includes the documentation with the code. Also a class system either a basic but easy to understand or more featureful.

Could someone critique my way of doing simple OOP and perhaps offer improvements or tell me if I'm doing something wrong?
I can't criticism your implementation at the moment but I want to share a tiny class module for Lua as a inspiration. https://github.com/rxi/classic

New to Lua and coding in general. Trying to understand the self command. Why does Version 1 of this code work and Version 2/3 not work?
(this example uses classic, which is a library I like using for OOP to keep things simple)
-
Arbitrary 'require' order
I like classic over middleclass: https://github.com/rxi/classic Feels lighter weight, like barely anything.
- How would I go about creating a item/object and be able to instance it.
- I'm confused how inheritance works in Lua. What am I doing wrong?

Comparing Unreal, Unity, Godot, and Defold game engines in a graphical table of features
You can do oop in Lua too! You just need a class lib.

Any Lua exercises?
Get as simple as possible OOP library, for example this one and write some code using it. This library can inherit ordinary functions, but not any metamethods. Try to improve it. If you can implement metamethod chaining inheritance that allows you to __call an instance of inherited classes like a function, then you understand metamethods thoroughly. Even if you fail, it still will be a good practice.

Scriptable Operating Systems with Lua [pdf]
Seems like a perfect use-case for Janet. (https://janet-lang.org/) A fast minimal VM like Lua, but even more extensible than Lua by being a "Lisp" with macro and C extension capabilities. Not a true Lisp, it's very pragmatic and performance-oriented. But it keeps the good stuff.

Ask HN: A Lisp with Cargo/NPM like build system?
You might be looking for: https://janet-lang.org/
It comes with a build tool `jpm` which installs dependencies globally by default, but you can have it be installed in your project folder as well.

Babashka: Fast native Clojure scripting runtime
I like Clojure, but I never had any good opportunities to use it other than for a few small hobby projects. It is unfortunate that it is so huge with tons of dependencies and no simpler native implementation. I started looking at various LISPs and Schemes to find something lighter to use instead and ended up settling for Janet that I think is Clojure-like enough to be comfortable to use, but in a small native binary with no dependencies and can be embedded in other native programs. I am sure for big, real, projects that Clojure makes more sense, but for my hobby projects and scripts I do not think I will install it again. I am still happy for the things I learned from learning Clojure. It was a real eye-opener for an old OO-programmer.

Red Programming Language
Thanks!
I thought about another multiplatform, homoiconic, highly compact language: https://janet-lang.org/ (takes 803 kb on my machine).
It has no types though.

Systems Programming with Racket
Racket is great, and if you like it you might find Rash interesting:

Janet and Gerbil Scheme are also worth a look:

how did you finally reach Lisp enlightenment?
Point here is that, for instance Janet language does not have cons / pair type but tuple (and so is lispoid, not lisp), but clearly this is sufficient for macros & hence seamless language construction: all you need is to be a lispoid although being a lisp gives another useful feature.
