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.

Forth: The programming language that writes itself: The Web Page
I have implemented yet another forth by myself. It works a little bit different and it is not intended to be a true copy of the original idea.
Since the post says you can discover Forth, here's my part:
https://github.com/loscoala/goforth
The main difference is that in this Forth variant, the source text is completely translated into bytecode and there is no runtime in the sense of classic Forth. This makes it easy to translate the bytecode to C.
I use my own Forth to generate C code with it, which I then embed in other software.

Forth: The programming language that writes itself: The Web Page
As soon as I met Forth, I felt I had to hack my own [miniforth](https://github.com/ttsiodras/MiniForth/) - and did so over a single week, two years ago. I targeted the Blue Pill and the original Arduino, but developed via cross-compilers so that I could test my code in the host.
I became so obsessed with the project that I was looking forward to tinkering with it after coming back from work every day; so it was hacked in 5 evenings and a weekend.
It was that fun, to build a Forth. I highly recommend the process - I think the only other time I felt so enlightened was [when I first met Lisp macros](https://www.thanassis.space/score4.html#lisp).
