The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
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.

SectorC: A C Compiler in 512 bytes
Not using this, but tangentially related is (full disclosure, i am a maintainer of this project) live-bootstrap, which uses about a KB of binary to do a full "Linux from scratch" style thing - read https://github.com/fosslinux/live-bootstrap/blob/master/part... for all 143 steps you have to go through to get there.

Actually you can skip a file system entirely if you do something like stage0 or live-bootstrap https://github.com/fosslinux/live-bootstrap

See https://github.com/fosslinux/live-bootstrap, and https://github.com/fosslinux/live-bootstrap/blob/master/parts.rst has all the steps we take.

what is the smallest linux system capable of building itself?
live-bootstrap builds a variety of intermediate systems, starting from a <1KB binary seed (kernel excluded). Check parts.rst for a description, it's kinda wild just how many C and C subset compilers get compiled... but the end result is a system with musl and GCC 4.7, from which building the latest GCC is 2 steps away.

Ken Thompson: Reflections on Trusting Trust (Turing Award Lecture)
There is also live-bootstrap which uses a similar bootstrap chain to Guix (stage0 -> Mes -> tcc -> gcc), but without needing Guile/guix-daemon binaries etc. The whole thing starts with just a 357-byte binary seed (source)!

Is Golang Compiler Open Source? (From Noob)
Thankfully there are multiple Go implementations so you can bootstrap using gccgo as well. And you can bootstrap the gcc toolchain (including gccgo) in various ways, for example using this process from a minimal binary seed: https://github.com/fosslinux/live-bootstrap
What are some alternatives?
When comparing guix and live-bootstrap you can also consider the following projects:
nix-ld - Run unpatched dynamic binaries on NixOS
guix - Read-only mirror of GNU Guix — pull requests are ignored, see https://guix.gnu.org/en/manual/en/guix.html#Submitting-Patches instead
mescc-tools-seed - A place for public review of the posix port of stage0
brainfuck-x86-64 - A brainfuck interpreter written in x86-64 assembly
M2-Planet - The PLAtform NEutral Transpiler
rizin - UNIX-like reverse engineering framework and command-line toolset.
zig-bootstrap - take off every zig
libds - A collection of data structures for C
sc - Common libraries and data structures for C.
chibicc - A small C compiler
bootstrap-seeds - The roots of trust for all architectures
libderp - C collections. Easy to build, boring algorithms. Dumb is good.
