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.

Jacobin: Minimal JVM written in Go and capable of running Java 17 classes
Thanks for your note. The package notes on Jacobin say that we strongly discourage folks from running it in its present form. There are enough features still to be implemented, that for anything but trivial classes, you won't have a good experience. TBH, we're about a year out (we think) from having a version we can solicit users to test.
Nonetheless, if you'd be kind enough to post the above error and the class you used into the GitHub Issues tracker [0], we'll definitely include it in our test suite and make sure whatever the problem is, it'll be corrected.

Tutorials for intermediate to advanced Golang
Then might want to look at Jacobin, which is a project developing a JVM (Java virtual machine) in Go. It includes a detailed roadmap of the source code, which lays out the architecture of the code and makes it easy to jump in. The code itself is well commented and there are numerous tests, which provide additional insights.

Unless you specifically need a JVM either of these will be a much more practical and mature choice for embedded scripting.
Alternatively if you prefer JS then Otto is a good choice:

Are there any Golang Lua VMs that support snapshotting/serializationi?
Do you know about go-lua? There's a good discussion of various go lua implementations here, including this choice quote:
-
Change go code behaviour at runtime
There are lua and Go-script options. My impression is that a few are well accepted but perhaps just a little less widely used than the first two. I cannot speak from personal experience on them. Shopify has a Lua 5.2 port: https://github.com/Shopify/go-lua and I know https://github.com/bitfield/script is one of the Go-like scripting languages, but I think it's more for a shell script replacement than embedding.

Show HN: LadyLua, batteries-included static Lua 5.1 interpreter
GopherLua [0] is a Lua implementation written in Go, not just a wrapper around the C implementation.
The main alternative seems to be Shopify’s go-lua [1], given that Microsoft’s golua [2] is no longer being developed. The main difference between these three implementations seems to be the supported Lua version - 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 respectively.
