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.

Jacobin: Minimal JVM written in Go and capable of running Java 17 classes
https://github.com/Shopify/go-lua
Unless you specifically need a JVM either of these will be a much more practical and mature choice for embedded scripting.
Alternatively if you prefer JS then Otto is a good choice:

Are there any Golang Lua VMs that support snapshotting/serializationi?
Do you know about go-lua? There's a good discussion of various go lua implementations here, including this choice quote:
-
Change go code behaviour at runtime
There are lua and Go-script options. My impression is that a few are well accepted but perhaps just a little less widely used than the first two. I cannot speak from personal experience on them. Shopify has a Lua 5.2 port: https://github.com/Shopify/go-lua and I know https://github.com/bitfield/script is one of the Go-like scripting languages, but I think it's more for a shell script replacement than embedding.

Show HN: LadyLua, batteries-included static Lua 5.1 interpreter
GopherLua [0] is a Lua implementation written in Go, not just a wrapper around the C implementation.
The main alternative seems to be Shopify’s go-lua [1], given that Microsoft’s golua [2] is no longer being developed. The main difference between these three implementations seems to be the supported Lua version - 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 respectively.

Python Is Easy. Go Is Simple. Simple = Easy
Starlark in go https://github.com/google/starlark-go is a great way to combine the best of both, the ease of use of Python and the simplicity of go.
I have been building a platform for deploying internal web applications using this approach https://github.com/claceio/clace. Use Starlark to configure the application, the platform itself is built in go.

Examples of using task scheduler with Go?
The big unknown is your task definition: what does user-defined logic look like? If you're expecting go code, that's gonna need some cleverness because of the compiled nature of it. There's a node runtime implemented in go if you want to provide sandboxed javascript (check the source of k6.io, it's the main one I know that uses it). If you want to provide building blocks and let them compose them, starlark might be a good choice.

Show HN: Gsubpy, an interpreter for subset of Python, written in Go
Another one of those (with broader language support) is the Starlark language, which has a Go implementation: https://github.com/google/starlark-go

Looking for library to build composable actions from config file
Every config format gets as complex to be touring complete in the end. We had similar problems and eventually got rid of that complexity and switched to starlark (the bazel config language), was a huge benefit for the tools. https://github.com/google/starlark-go "Starlark is a dialect of Python intended for use as a configuration language. Like Python, it is an untyped dynamic language with high-level data types, first-class functions with lexical scope, and garbage collection."

Change go code behaviour at runtime
For a Python-like syntax, https://github.com/google/starlark-go is the language used in Babel. It's very mature, but since it is used in a massive mature project with a specific purpose, it doesn't move fast or drift from the spec of its Java-based sibling. It doesn't have exception try except blocks or some other features you might expect, but for short extension logic, it might be exactly what you want with the stability you can depend upon.

Reserve 4 gigabytes and treat any pointer in that range as an integer value
Context: https://github.com/google/starlark-go/blob/cfacd890221418a2dc2c736f7b5e3476c38709b1/starlark/int_posix64.go

A command-line tool to create development environments for AI/ML, based on Docker and buildkit
Thus envd is more like Dockerfile, while it uses a simplified python dialect starlark https://github.com/google/starlark-go as the build language.
