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.

Is there a way to package an interpreter with a story?
Here's the github repo, it was just open sourced last week. You can compile it from source now, and I imagine the UI frontends will be updated in a couple of weeks. IIRC, compiling directly to other languages is now possible, although I'm not sure how much that impacts your use case.

Inform 7 now open source
For those who don't know it, Inform 7 is the venerable "design system" for interactive fiction. It has been freely available for some time with the promise of a release as open source for some time now. Looks like that has happened.

Six programming languages I’d like to see
R (yes, the statistics language) has exactly this.
You can literally extract the body of a function as a list of "call" objects (which are themselves just dressed-up lists of symbols), inject/delete/modify individual statements, and then re-cast your new list to a new function object.
I don't know why the original devs thought this was necessary or even desirable in a statistics package, but it turns out to be a lot of fun to program with. It has also made possible a wide variety of clever and elegant custom syntaxes, such as a pipe infix operator implemented as a 3rd-party library without any custom language extensions [0]. The pipe infix operator got so popular that it was eventually made part of the language core syntax in version 4.1 [1].

Functional pipes in python like %>% from R's magrittr
In R (thanks to magrittr) you can now perform operations with a more functional piping syntax via %>%. This means that instead of coding this:

Question about dot notation
Try reading the documentation for magrittr.

When did WG21 decide this is what networking looks like?
Related note: the statistical programming language R has a library named magrittr to support the pipe operator.

How can I find the data entry of the row after one found?
About the pipe (%>%) symbol, it's provided by the magrittr package. The package documentation details how to use the pipe operator.
-
Best practice for chaining nested functions?
I was wondering what some good ways are to handle nested function calls without chaining them in long, ugly nested statements. I am looking for functionality similar to the pipe forward operator %>% in magrittr/R or |> in F#.

I much prefer `data.action()` to `action(data). Is it an r/unpopularopinion?

What's so "tidy" about tidyverse?
Agreed on everything else you said (especially the type safety stuff, it massively helps in production), but one correction: magrittr is absolutely in the tidyverse suite. It's not considered one of its "core" packages that it visibly tells you it loads, but magrittr is loaded when calling library(tidyverse) and development of the package is handled by the tidyverse team under their Github account: https://github.com/tidyverse/magrittr
