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.

ECL FFI: Eval load-foreign-library before load in same file?
Newbie FFI question. I ran into this issue, posted it on ECL: https://gitlab.com/embeddable-common-lisp/ecl/-/issues/710

Parenscript
Thanks!
I suspect the work is still ongoing. But maybe not on priority.
This diff from around 3 months ago shows it's likely possible to run it in the browser currently but with a lot of caveats (pretty great nonetheless!).

Using ECL (or alternative?) to generate a shared library that works as plugin w/ C-based application
building ECL on MSVC-based Windows seems like a nightmare, or possibly I am messing something up: https://gitlab.com/embeddable-common-lisp/ecl/-/issues/677

Rather than flogging your blog, it would be better to post the link to the free source code https://gitlab.com/embeddable-common-lisp/ecl which is linked from the wikipedia page.

Literate programming: Knuth is doing it wrong
The whole of ferret's source code is in a single org-mode file, following the literate programming style: https://github.com/nakkaya/ferret/blob/master/ferret.org

Learning Clojure made me return back to C/C++
fyi there's some middle ground via ferret if you want to mix the two in the future. I think janet lang is more full featured, borrowing ideas from clojure while targeting simple embedding alongside c.

uLisp
Another commenter already mentioned Gambit Scheme. That provides for inline C and therefore very easy interop with external libraries. It still has a runtime and GC though - those might pose a problem depending on your platform and task.
Ferret (https://github.com/nakkaya/ferret) and Carp (https://github.com/carp-lang/Carp) are both Lisp-like low level languages. Both seem to be fairly experimental in nature though.
> anything but C
Taking you literally, Rust and D can both compile for bare metal. D in particular has a "Better C" subset. (https://dlang.org/spec/betterc.html)
In the same vein, Terra is a C like language (manual memory management) that you metaprogram with Lua. (https://github.com/terralang/terra)
Taking you very literally, Forth is also an option.

Writing a whole program in Org Mode
Impressive. Wonder how the performance in Emacs will be with a file this big... org source file
