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.

DrRacket 8.7 crashes to desktop on Windows...does anybody know how to prevent these?
I've filed a bug report on Github: https://github.com/racket/drracket/issues/596

Emacs-like editors written in Common Lisp
The original version of DrRacket was written in C, but it has been rewritten in Racket a long time ago. https://github.com/racket/drracket
I use a mix of DrRacket, WinEdt and Geany (with more color in the matched parenthesis).

What language for an IDE
To be fair, I'm not exactly sure which parts of emacs are written in C, but all extensions which make it more than an editor (i.e. an IDE) are interpreted lisp. Still, I'm not convinced. Another example, DrRacket, the IDE for Racket is written entirely in Racket, and that's plenty fast as far as I can tell*. It's a bit slow to start up, but that's all Racket programs.

Emacs-like editors written in Common Lisp
Kawa (like Clojure) runs on the JavaVM, but has a longer pedigree (from 1996), good compatibility with standard Scehemes (including R7RS), and has a stronger emphasis on performance: It has optional types and semi-decent type inferance so it is easy to write code as performant as Java. It also has fast startup, and is unopinonated on how you run and bundle applications: it generates pretty vanilla class files that interoperate with Java easily. See https://www.gnu.org/software/org and https://gitlab.com/kashell/Kawa

Oldest Scheme Implementations
Kawa is quite relevant, and it seems that the project started in 1996. Still actively maintained.
