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.

What is the point of the if __name__ == "__main__":, i.e. why use a file as both script and module?
The Lissp transpiler incrementally compiles and executes each top-level form to Python. It needs to do this in case there's a macro definition that might affect the compilation of a subsequent form. If it's only executing definitions, this is harmless, but if you want to precompile the main module, it needs the guard, or the side effects will happen too.

What's the most hilarious use of operator overloading you've seen?
If you want Python to be as customizable as Lissp, check out Hissp (and Hebigo).

Want cleaner code? Use the rule of six
Python's lambdas can have as many lines as you want. Just wrap parens around it. Hissp uses this form as a compilation target. Its REPL shows the Python compilation. Play around with it til you get it: https://github.com/gilch/hissp

Is ECMAScript really a dialect of Lisp?
The original Lisp's S-expression syntax was just supposed to be an intermediate language used by the compiler when processing the real language based on M-expressions, which kind of never took off. Numerous alternatives to S-expressions have been proposed, and some retain homoiconicity, another feature diagnostic of a Lisp (and one that ECMAScript lacks). For example, see Hebigo's readme, which shows a direct correspondence between its Python-like syntax and that of Hissp's default reader (Lissp), which uses the S-expressions. Julia can also be written in S-expressions, but this usually only used in macro definitions.

Land of Lisp
I think LoL is too CL-specific. If you know both languages first, you can pretty much translate, but since they'd be trying to learn Lisp in the first place, this is a bad idea.
On the other hand, [Hissp][1] has a pretty good tutorial for anyone coming from a Python background.

Interesting or distinctive lisps?
Hebigo: a whitespaceLisp isomorphic to Hissp that looks like Python.

Transpiler, a Meaningless Word
> Another problem is that there are hundreds of built-in library functions that need to be compiled from Python from C
An approach I've advocated as one of the main authors of py2many is that all of the python builtin functions be written in a subset of python[1] and then compiled into native code. This has the benefit of avoiding GIL, problems with C-API among other things.
Do checkout the examples here[2] which work out of the box for many of the 8-9 supported backends.

Why I'm still using Python
https://github.com/py2many/py2many/blob/main/doc/langspec.md
Reimplement a large enough, commonly used subset of python stdlib using this dialect and we may be in the business of writing cross platform apps (perhaps start with android and Ubuntu/Gnome)

Codon: A high-performance Python compiler
For py2many, there is an informal specification here:
https://github.com/py2many/py2many/blob/main/doc/langspec.md
Would be great if all the authors of "python-like" languages get together and come up with a couple of specs.
I say a couple, because there are ones that support the python runtime (such as cython) and the ones which don't (like py2many).

Omyyyy/pycom: A Python compiler, down to native code, using C++
Cython doesn't consume python3 type hints and needs special type hints of its own. But it's certainly more mature than other players in the field.
What we need is a rpython suitable for app programming and a stdlib written in that dialect.

Implicit Overflow Considered Harmful (and how to fix it)
Link to the test that's relevant for this discussion:
https://github.com/adsharma/py2many/blob/main/tests/cases/in...
This is an explicit deviation from python's bigint, which doesn't map very well to systemsey languages. The next logical step is to build on this to have dependent and refinement types.
