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.

Steel – An embedded scheme interpreter in Rust
3. Typed Racket
I almost used https://gamelisp.rs/ for a project but the nightly feature it needs broke and it's no longer maintained, glad to see something similar arise! You might want to consider adopting their choice of VecDeque as a list replacement, I think it makes a lot more sense than naive linked lists on modern machines.

Official /r/rust "Who's Hiring" thread for job-seekers and job-offerers [Rust 1.68]
Varied employment history has left me with great soft skills and a broad grab-bag of technical skills, mostly leaning towards high-performance systems programming. Major solo projects have included the scripting language GameLisp, a 2D game engine, and a novel computer vision library.

Interesting or distinctive lisps?
"Gamelisp is a scripting language for Rust game development." Feature list from the page: No garbage collection pauses (runs gc once per frame), Seamless Rust API, Memory-safe, Feature-rich ("Pattern‑matching, iterators, coroutines, macros..."), Easy entity scripting.

RoguelikeDev Does The Complete Roguelike Tutorial - Week 1
I'm using Rust to build a host program, and the actual game logic written in GameLisp on top of the bracket-lib. I only have superficial knowledge of Rust, 0 lisp experience, and never embedded a language before, so that's a lot to learn and implement at the same time.

RoguelikeDev Does The Complete Roguelike Tutorial Starting June 29th 2021
I'm not sure I'll go to the end of the 8 weeks, but I'll make that as fun/interesting as possible and (try to) use GameLisp!

Implementing a VM: how unsafe should I go?
I feel qualified to answer this! GameLisp was once implemented with highly unsafe code, but later on I reimplemented it using only safe code, with a very small amount of optional unsafety behind a feature flag. GameLisp's performance is currently somewhere between Lua and Python when unsafe code is switched on, or a bit slower than Python when unsafe code is switched off.
- Practicality of embedding a lisp/scheme interpreter that is implemented as C library?

Version 0.2 of GameLisp, a scripting language for Rust game development
It took a lot of wrestling with the type system, but I've managed to wring out several API improvements for version 0.2. I already considered GameLisp's Rust API to be best-in-class, and this release polishes it even further:

Did we lose our way in making efficient software? – ~30 MB doc file vs. browser
It's interesting: minimal software is out there, but folks don't tend to choose it. I spend a fair amount of time thinking about how to be conservative in my dependencies, and this encourages a lightweight stack that tends to perform pretty well. These days, I'm favoring tools like Lua, SQLite, Fennel[0], Althttpd[1], Fossil[2], and the Mako Server[3] and find that great, lightweight, stable, efficient software is to be had, for free, but you have to go a bit off the beaten path. This isn't stuff you hear about on Stack Overflow.
In terms of frontend, which the post focuses on (Google Docs and a 30MB doc), I guess I'm conflicted. While I tend to favor native apps + web pages, I'm also a daily Tiddlywiki user, and I really think web apps have their place (heck, one idea I'm working on is a lightweight local server that lets you run web apps like Tiddlywiki). But without a doubt, Tiddlywiki is more resource intensive than Emacs (my go-to for notetaking when I'm not on TW). My tab for a 6MB Tiddlywiki file uses 155MB of RAM, and my (heavily customized, dozens of open buffers) Emacs session uses 88MB. So I do think the author has a good point.

Pluto, a Modern Lua Dialect
Eh it's not just luajit and luajit didn't create that problem either. It's a symptom of lua actually succeeding at its design goal of being easily embedded as an extension language. A significant number of incompatible runtimes are more popular than the most recent puc lua, including I believe the older official lua 5.2 released in 2011.
I've done a fair bit of professional lua development and I don't think I've ever written standalone up-to-date puc lua except maybe for some tooling & scripts. It's such a small language and used in such a way that the runtime, distribution method, and available APIs have much more impact on your use (and compatibility) than the version.
Virtually everyone shipping a lua environment is also shipping changes to it that make it a unique target, if only extensions to the standard library. This is why I think syntax layer-only approach like fennel's is the correct choice for improving on lua. It mirrors lua's runtime semantics exactly, and allows you to access the implementation peculiars on their own terms and so can just be run on time of any lua system.

LÖVE: a framework to make 2D games in Lua
Just learned about https://fennel-lang.org/ , could have probably used that as well to avoid Lua.

The Bipolar Lisp Programmer
> I’m positive that there is a Lispy language out there (actually in existence, or the aether) that is appropriate for embedded work, but the constraints of the target make it difficult to envision.
Perhaps Fennel* fits the bill?

The Future of the Vim Project
I've also seen neovim plugins written in fennel [0], so if you want something lispy, that's possible now.

TimL: Clojure-like Lisp dialect that runs on and compiles down to Vimscript
Something similar: Fennel (https://fennel-lang.org/) is a lisp that compiles into Lua, which nvim can use as plugins, so you can write nvim plugins in a lisp. Aniseed (https://github.com/Olical/aniseed) makes this really easy.

Announcing automation-service: write and schedule home automation scripts in Lua
If you want a more FP language on the Lua runtime, you might be interested in Fennel. I wrote a post about adding Fennel compiler to a hslua interpreter a while back, which might be useful for you.
