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.

Why Clojure?
I've only dabbled with GHCI. I've used it as a standalone REPL for trying out small things, the same way I'd use a Python or Javascript REPL. I haven't used the REPL /the/ developer interface to the program. In Clojure, I would (1) start a REPL server, (2) connect to it from my editor, and (3) send expressions to it. I didn't develop Haskell that way, though I think it was possible with Intero[1].
Within the Clojure community, there's a perception that the Clojure REPL is one of its strongest selling points[2].
Are you using the REPL actively when developing?

Why Clojure?
There haven't really been a lot of efforts to get a high-speed web frameworks done in just Clojure as that's not normally how professional Clojure developers work and deploy code. Not a lot of Clojure developers use frameworks in the first place, so the HTTP server ends up being something that gets pulled in as a library, and since it's running on the JVM, you use JVM servers, which are fast. vertx seems to be something that scores high, but unfortunately only the Scala binding seems to be in the benchmark you mentioned. Here's a Clojure alternative: https://github.com/vertx-clojure/vertx
CLI apps are easily solved with Babashka now.
What are some alternatives?
