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.

Is there a language with lisp syntax but C semantics?
There's Dale, Extempore (more particularly, XTlang which is the statically-typed part of Extempore), Carp, and one more that I can't remember right now that basically maps to C++, more-or-less directly.

What Makes Lisp Unique?
>However, there are LISP flavored versions of C
For anyone interested the example given is from https://github.com/tomhrr/dale
-
Useful lesser-used languages?
Dale: Basically C, but using Lisp syntax, support for macros, which might segfault, not beginner friendly at all.
-
A language you feel the most productive with?
Carp, Lux and Dale are 3 I'm familiar with.There's also Dylan, though that one dropped its parentheses. But if we go by the brackets, technically, we can argue that any expression-based languages is a Lisp. I once wrote a Lisp to JS transpile whose output had more parens than the input. :)

What are some alternatives?
Carp - A statically typed lisp, without a GC, for real-time applications.
algo.monads - Macros for defining monads, and definition of the most common monads
Nim - Nim is a statically typed compiled systems programming language. It combines successful concepts from mature languages like Python, Ada and Modula. Its design focuses on efficiency, expressiveness, and elegance (in that order of priority).
