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.

Pkl, a Programming Language for Configuration
> So what we are missing now is a 500GB framework that can write the config file for the programming language that is writing a config file for the actual program I wish to use.
That exists since 1960. It's called LISP. The e.g. https://guix.gnu.org/ uses with great success, the Guile Scheme dialect of LISP, to be precise. And FYI the "framework" is:
$ ls --human-readable --size $(readlink $(which guile))

NixOS: Declarative Builds and Deployments
> inventing a brand new purely functional language programming language.
ISTM that if you dislike that, then there's GUIX.
https://guix.gnu.org/
Very briefly, AFAICT, it's "Nix but using Scheme".

Linux saved my life
And just wait till you discover Arch Linux, Gentoo, Guix, or NixOS.

The nicest web browser of 2023 uses Lisp.
https://guix.gnu.org for example. It did load before an update but it doesn't anymore.

Java community welcomes kotlin, c/c++ community welcome rust and go and Javascript community welcomes typscript except emacs community who still refuse to welcome gnu guile.
Is it? Seems to me it's used for some pretty cool stuff, heard of Guix?

Lua: The Little Language That Could
I think a "competitor" to Lua would be Guile [1], but I am not sure if it gets close to Lua in terms of lightweightness... it was designed to be used in the GNU project, with similar objects as Lua: to be light, easily embeddable. It's a Scheme (Lisp) so maybe not for everyone's taste... its "coolest" use i know of is for configuring Guix [2] (the GNU version of Nix).

What are some of the more innovative linux distributions?
GNU Guix! A fully functional package manager and distro heavily inspire by Nix. The primary difference between it and Nix being that it is almost entirely written and configured in GNU Guile, an implementation of Scheme (Lisp) and the official extension language of the GNU Project (originally intended to be for GNU what emacs lisp is for emacs).
-
Rust Offline?
You should perhaps utilize guix for your projects. It provides rather acceptable rust resp. crates support and in a perfectly reproducible build environment. But be aware, that it even tries to build even the rust compiler from source by going through all this nasty steps of its iterative bootstrap process. This can be a little bit complex and time-consuming, if you need an up-to-date version of rustc.

The many issues plaguing Nix
I myself use Fedora Silverblue with a https://ublue.it/ -based custom image, and I use home-manager for shell configuration. Sure, my GNOME layout isn't declarative, but basically everything else is. Pair that with one of the best NVIDIA driver experiences and the strong feeling of stability, it's better than most other Linuxes rn.

Neglected Spin Of Fedora (KDE)
This is a fundamental misunderstanding of immutable systems. You still have full control over what’s on your computer, you just don’t exercise that control by making irreversible changes to your core system while it’s running. You can use e.g. rpm-ostree, or even better, build a custom image with exactly the changes you want that updates and ships directly to your computer whenever you want it to.

Deepin Not Showing (F38)
Try the ublue images, they have one for deepin. It’s a variant on fedoras immutable silverblue image, you could either use their iso on http://ublue.it or install silverblue and rebase to the deepin image via:

Silverblue users: why?
This is indeed a blind spot. Thanks for pointing that out! Silverblue -to my knowledge- doesn't do a lot to address this. Though, 3rd-party tools like Home Manager and the suite of applications developed by the folks over at uBlue might be able to limit this to a minimum. Though I'm not sure if it surpasses NixOS in this regard; for the uninitiated. Though, to my knowledge, this requires special attention and depends on the specifics of the NixOS system in question.

How do I install a downloaded appimage (in localhost downloads) within a toolbox? Fedora Silverblue 38
This hasn't been for nought as even openSUSE's Aeon (and all their immutable offerings) ship Distrobox instead. Vanilla OS also ships Distrobox instead of Toolbx. Heck, even the folks over on uBlue\1]) always mention Toolbx with Distrobox and vice versa. And it wouldn't surprise me if most of them prefer to use Distrobox instead.
