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.

Are there any static single assignment based languages that are higher level than IR? (expected to be written by your average programmer)?
(And then I'd turn them into normal BBs internally, since cranelift found out they're not that great for optimizing: https://github.com/bytecodealliance/cranelift/issues/796.)

Minecraft running on a redstone CPU/GPU implemented in Minecraft, running on a custom Minecraft server (written in Rust) capable of performing redstone calculations 10,000x faster than vanilla Minecraft
I was joking but thats almost what they are doing. Instead of using LLVM they're using cranelift for JITting

Replacing default codegen in rustc
Replace it with what, and why? There are codegen backends using Cranelift and GCC, but they are not feature complete yet.

Learning Clojure made me return back to C/C++
Thanks for taking the time to provide a detailed response. Need to think on this. I had actually started a regular Clojure parser using LLVM as a hobby, but then my friend said it was better to implement this in a safe-memory and. save-concurrency language like Rust and leverage cranelift for code generation. So, now I am learning rust, lol. (Btw, Rust has a persistent data structures lib too: https://github.com/orium/rpds )

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.
