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.

How do you decide which language/tech stack you invest learning?
Your question is interesting to me. As a software architect, I study various tech stacks and programming languages. I concentrate mostly on open source and microservice architectures. I usually start with implementing the same feature identical rudimentary news feed microservice. Over time you start to see the similarities and differences between the various implementations. I blog about this over at https://glennengstrand.info and the source code can be found in https://github.com/gengstrand/clojure-news-feed
You are looking for a decision on what programming language and tech stack to learn next based on career mobility. Here are some questions to consider.
What kind of company are you most interested in working for? Think about the size of the company. Is it in a growth market or is profitability more important? Is it a technology company? Does the CEO view technology as a profit center or a cost center? Do they have a CTO? If they do, then who does the CTO report to, the CEO, the CIO, or the COO?
What kinds of programming languages and tech stacks are on the career pages for the kinds of companies that you are most interested in? Different kinds of companies tend to cluster around different tech stacks. There are other factors to filter for such as how deeply do they embrace remote work or commute distance to where you currently live or are willing to move to.
These are lagging indicators. They are going to be more accurate than leading indicators but that also might indicate that whatever you learn next based on these factors might have a shorter shelf life.
Finally, you should ask yourself what about your current programming language do you like? Try to pick something that you would also like. The Go programming language was originally invented as a better C and is enjoying some marketability right now. Maybe that would be something to look at.

Clojure needs a Rails, but not for the reason you think
I have a github repo where I implement a feature identical microservice in various tech stacks. I started that repo with a Clojure version that used community provided wrappers. See https://github.com/gengstrand/clojure-news-feed/blob/master/... as an example of calling Cassandra. Recently, I added another implementation with Clojure that just called the Java drivers directly. See https://github.com/gengstrand/clojure-news-feed/blob/master/... for that version of the same call. In the end, I decided to forego wrappers and make the calls directly because you end up with fewer dependencies and are more likely to be able to use latest versions of everything.

Ask HN: What tech stack would you use to build a new web app today?
I have been exposed to many different tech stacks over the years. This https://github.com/gengstrand/clojure-news-feed repo contains the code used to evaluate thirteen different stacks which is what I can share publicly. What I can say is that the best choice of tech stack depends on what is being called for. Is this for an early stage startup or an intrepreneurial greenfield project? Is this for an MVP or just the next component in an already formalized microservice architecture? What are the skillsets of the developers that you will have access to? Have you reached agreement that you can throw it all away and start over or are you expected to have to live with the choice of tech stack for the life of the product? Are you mobile first? These are all important questions that very much shape the decision.

Any resources for "current best practices and learnings?"
Allesandra Sierra’s Component has lots of competitors now: first mount which has since fallen out of favor for integrant. There’s newer ones too, like clip and donut-power.

How can I learn functional programming?
This was the missing piece for me at least. As mentioned in another reply the Imperative shell, functional core helped me a lot with that. I discovered it through Clean Architecture and by using some micro-frameworks in Clojure that really emphasised the use of the pattern.

Reloaded workflow with nbb & expressjs
After reviewing the options, I settled on weavejester/integrant because it's small - only one dependency and two source files in total.

[ANN] Reveal Pro 1.3.308 — sticker windows for system libraries (component, integrant, mount)
Today I released a new version of Reveal Pro — dev.vlaaad/reveal-pro {:mvn/version "1.3.308"} — that adds sticker integration for system libraries such as mount, component and integrant!
- Little confusion trying to understand Integrant's source code

Forcing engineers to release by some arbitrary date results in shipping unfinished code - instead, ship when the code is ready and actually valuable
Component is nice but I found the records and protocols annoying to work with. Have you checked out Integrant? That ones been my preferred component-style library.

Tour of our 250k line Clojure codebase
I don't really like 'Component'. I seems very clunky and we had a lot of issues with it and a lot incidental complexity in our codebase (now converted to Java). It was the first real system that did these sort of things but if I start a project now, I much rather use Integrant or Clip.
https://github.com/weavejester/integrant
I haven't used Clip a lot yet but my next project is defiantly going to be with Clip.
