The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
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 did you choose the name for your programming language?
It happens I used the name before the Wren you're talking about. I don't really have a conclusion here, but it's kind of amusing.

C Minus Minus
Forth is available for more platforms than C, and like C, it is usually but not always a compiled language. Because Forth always has an interpreter, and a powerful one, it's more obvious that Forth doesn't have to compile to run, but again, true of C as well: https://gitlab.com/zsaleeba/picoc exists, and it isn't the only one.

Author of picoc here: this seems very cool!

[OC] Why did women stop coding? (1970-2020)
Likewise there are interpreters for C.

It should. See this test file, https://gitlab.com/zsaleeba/picoc/-/blob/master/tests/01_comment.c

Any resources for making interpreters in C ?
If you learn well by looking at code then check out some small projects. Lua is possibly a little too much at this point. Perhaps PicoC?

Is TypeScript a compiled language?
However, this doesn't have to be the case. You could write an interpreter for C and people already have. You could write a compiler for JavaScript to machine code, though I can't find one if such a thing exists.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing wren and picoc you can also consider the following projects:
peridot - A fast functional language based on two level type theory
wrench - practical embedded script interpreter
ramen - A stream processing language and compiler for small-scale monitoring
zig - General-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal, and reusable software.
