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.

Use any web browser as GUI, with Zig in the back end and HTML5 in the front end
Reminds me of the approach of CLOG (Common Lisp Omnificent Gui[1]) and its ancestor GNOGA (The GNU Omnificent GUI for Ada[2]).
They also integrate basic components and even graphical UI editor (at least for CLOG), so you can essentially develop the whole thing from inside CL or Ada

Common Lisp: An Interactive Approach (1992) [pdf]
For me David Botton [0] with his work including code, support and videos is doing very nice work in this direction.
I use SBCL for everything but work because I cannot get; we are getting there, but like you say, it’s such a nice experience working interactively building fast that it is magic and it’s painful returning to my daily work of Python and typescript/react. It feels like a waste of time/life, really.

Want to learn lisp?
If you already have some programming experience you can do a quick intro to Common Lisp and CLOG too - https://github.com/rabbibotton/clog/blob/main/LEARN.md
I was following along on the Windows page and didn't check back on the main README to see if any of the other instructions would help.

All Web frontend lisp projects
CLOG is an interesting twist of a frontend and backend in one. https://github.com/rabbibotton/clog
It the answer is "latter", then you could look at Common Lisp and Reblocks (https://40ants.com/reblocks/) or CLOG (https://github.com/rabbibotton/clog).

How to Understand and Use Common Lisp
I haven't used Clojure professionally in 10 years so with a grain of salt here are my thoughts as only one other person answered...
CL over Clojure: it's the OG Lisp that the creator of Clojure used and wanted to continue using but faced too much resistance from management afraid of anything not-Java/not-Oracle, or not-CLR/not-Microsoft, etc. Clojure shipped originally as "just another jar" so devs could "sneak" it in. If you don't have such a management restriction, why Clojure? If you want to integrate CL with the JVM, you can use the ABCL implementation, there's also something from one of the proprietary Lisps. Some useful CL features that are nice in this domain: conditions and restarts mentioned in a sibling comment (very nice to help interactively develop/debug e.g. a selenium webdriver test), ability to easily compile an exe (perhaps useful for microservices, or just to keep your deployment environment clean and not having to care about Lisp), and ability to easily ship with an open local socket allowing you to SSH in (or SSH port forward) and debug/fix/poke around in production (JVM of course lets you attach debuggers to a running process, even certain billion+ dollar companies will have supervised/limited prod debugging sessions for various hairy cases, but it's not as interactive). You should never hear CL advocates claim you can't scale to large teams/groups of engineers or large multi-million-lines sized projects, though you might oddly hear Clojure advocates sometimes claim you can't (and shouldn't) scale to such large projects -- large groups of engineers are a non-issue for them as well though, the challenge is in hiring, not in the language somehow making it impossible to modularize and keep people from stepping on each other.
Clojure over CL: its integration with the JVM is nicer than ABCL's, so if you do actually want a lot of the great world of Java stuff, it's easier to get at. Database integration libraries are better. Access to libs (Clojure or Java) is via Maven, so it's a larger ecosystem with more self-integrating components (especially around monitoring/metrics) than what's available for Lisp via Quicklisp. Clojure is very opinionated, much of it quite tasteful, and that gives the whole ecosystem a certain consistency. (You can have immutable data structures in CL, you can if you want use [] for literal vectors and make them syntactically important e.g. in let bindings, but not everyone will be on board.) Even though its popularity seems to have stopped growing, at least at the same rate as e.g. Go which it was keeping pace with for a while, it's still popular enough with a bigger community; as a proxy measure there are multiple conferences around the world and good talks at adjacent conferences, whereas Lisp mostly just has one conference in Europe per year and only occasional branching outside of that.
If you're doing a client-side-heavy webapp, ClojureScript is still amazing, CL's answers there aren't very compelling with the exception of CLOG (https://github.com/rabbibotton/clog) which takes an entirely different direction than the usual idea of translating/running Lisp on top of JavaScript and its popular frameworks.

are ttf-fonts and modeline cpu modules dead?
Heads up, clx-truetype has an outstanding bug with XFT fonts causing a memory leak. Technically it's a forever inflating cache that can be periodically cleared but it's better to use a fork that fixes it. See StumpWM issue #861 on GitHub which links to more info.

Advise on learning to emacs and computer science starting with programming in elisp?
You can do cool stuff in Common Lisp: differentiate, DSLs, CLOG, a 3D IDE, A Window Manager By the way: most of this is doable in other languages, too.

This is how computing should feel
Welcome! Reading the manual and the code itself are the only tips I have. You can find some people's configs on GitHub and the like too by searching. Note that the manual on the website is very out of date, so use a local version after installing: https://github.com/stumpwm/stumpwm/issues/944

Your experience with StumpWM?
In the long discussion in the PR you can see that the code is approved. But the document reviewer seems to busy in their life now. It's an open-source project, so we never know :)

Dynamic Floating Windows - Unofficial Branch
It will take a longer while for my PR on dynamic floating windows to be accepted.. to make it easily accessible, I re-wrote the instruction in the unofficial branch (see readme or below). Hopefully, interested people will find it easy to use, and start to report issues (I've been using it for 4 months happily). I'm more than glad to resolve any problem (explanation, usage, docstring requests, bugs.. etc)!
