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.

Help with automated website testing, please
I've used (WebDriver)[https://w3c.github.io/webdriver/] in Clojure for all kinds of things (testing, simulating users, automating web interactions). I found the Etaoin package to be nicer to use than Selenium. A google search for webdriver and "common lisp" turned up https://copyleft.github.io/cl-webdriver-client/ and possibly other things, so maybe you can use that.

Playing with webdriver
I have recently wanted to pull some data off the local church website, and I have been unable to log in with any HTTP clients. So, I attempted to throw Etaoin at the problem, and it worked marvelously.

Clojure – Differences with Other Lisps
For Clojure on the JVM I've seen etaoin (https://github.com/igrishaev/etaoin) and there's clj-chrome-devtools (https://github.com/tatut/clj-chrome-devtools). I would ask on Clojureverse or the Clojure Slack/Zulip for opinions.
For ClojureScript I guess there's lots of options since you can access the Javascript ecosystem.
One of the benefits of being hosted is that we can always fall back on the host language's options.

How did you transition from C-style language to clojure ? I am having a hard time letting go of how I've been programming all my life.
The old 4Clojure site is not available any longer. I can (in a highly biased way) recommend using Rich4CLojure in the comfort of your favorite editor.

Clojure – Differences with Other Lisps
I've been messing with Clojure/ClojureScript for a few years having previously had zero Lisp experience. Overall, I think Clojure does a good job of being both practical and lispy. It's a language that is for building real things.
I've been focusing on ClojureScript (https://clojurescript.org/) as you get the benefit of interoperating with the Javascript ecosystem. The fact that there's a strong community around both Javascript hosted and Java hosted gives a wealth of library options.
Overall, the tooling has been getting a lot closer to the sort of experience that contemporary developers expect. The Calva plugins integration with Visual Studio (https://calva.io/) makes it easy to get started - you can even run it online with gitpod (https://github.com/PEZ/rich4clojure).
That just leaves learning the language - the slight changes in syntax (brackets for different data types) definitely help early on, and for the most part Clojure discourages people going down the path of macros which means reading other peoples code is reasonably accessible. The main struggle is that it's a language used by a lot of advanced or full-time developers, so documentation is pretty dense and it can take a real commitment to understand the detail.
It may not be 'correct' enough if you're coming from other Lisps, but coming the other way from C/Python etc I've found it an accessible and practical option.

Guide: Get Started with Clojure in a full REPL-driven editor without installing anything
(And arlier this week I did an adaption of Rich 4Clojure, adding a zero-install option there as well.)

Eclipse plugin CounterClockWise still an option?
A cheap (in terms of effort and impact on your computer) way to see how you like Calva is to try the Gitpod option of Rich 4Clojure: https://github.com/PEZ/rich4clojure
