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.

Gerbil v0.18.1 NimzoLarsen released
That's a strange one! Can you go to https://github.com/mighty-gerbils/gerbil/issues and post an issue outlining this with slightly more detail? What platform, C compiler, libc version etc.

Gerbil Scheme v0.18.1 NimzoLarsen released
New in std library: an S3 client, an SMTP client, SSL for Postgres (enables Heroku support), better CLI support (including multicall binaries), and plenty of module updates. Plus a few minor bug fixes.

Gerbil v0.18 Released
Gerbil Scheme < https://cons.io > just saw its release v0.18, with many usability and documentation upgrades, and a bunch of new functionality in the standard library. A "meta-dialect of Scheme with post-modern features", Gerbil layers a Racket-like module system (the best in the world by far) on top of Gambit Scheme (compiler that produces the fastest code), with lots of libraries as "batteries included" for production-level client/server code.
- Gerbil scheme releases v0.18 RC1

Strong typing, a hill I'm willing to die on
I'm more into Scheme than CL, but am aware of Coalton. My current lisp is Gerbil: https://cons.io which already has a type annotation system and will be enhancing it for the next major release (v19).

Not only Clojure – Chez Scheme: Lisp with native code speed
Another "post-modern" natively compiling Scheme is Gerbil Scheme [0]. It's seeing a lot of attention/enhancements lately, including some bounties to implement features.

Why does Racket have Type-Maps instead of Just a Single Map?
See related post. The dot operator in Rhombus will allow a function call like expr.map(…) to be statically specialized to Some.map(expr, …) provided that expr carries sufficient static information. This isn’t possible in Racket given the lack of static information in general.

-
Multiple namespaces?
Racket has the concept of binding space built on top of the scope-set model. The experiment language Rhombus makes heavy use of this for contextual bindings. Note that bindings are used for language extensions among other purposes in Racket.
-
Generalized and first-class macros: what is this called?
The notion of “tail sequence” in general doesn’t exist in Lisp’s macro-expansion model, since Lisp macros are strictly local transformations. A “tail sequence” allows a macro to control the expansion of the whole context, which requires wrapping the whole context in another macro in Lisp’s model. This is what leads to proposals like #%local-definition in Racket. However, this notion does exist in the enforestation model, which is what the experiment language Rhombus is based on, although it’s probably not quite a Lisp ;)

Anyone else concerned that Rhombus/Racket2 is not a lisp based language?
Rhombus is: - just another #lang. It is built on top of the existing Racket VM and written in Racket. It interoperates with existing Racket code and uses the Racket expander. - macro extendable. Hygiene and all of the good stuff work. - being developed in the open. We meet biweekly over Zoom, and discussions also occur in GitHub Discussions.
- Anyone aware of Racket projects that are in need of contributors? I am experienced in PL design and have two months worth of spare time. I have never contributed to an opensource project before besides taureg.

Racket->Rhombus: To Sexp or not to Sexp?

Instead of hoping, you might consider reading the discussions to see what the developers are actually saying. Just a thought.
