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.

Scriptable Operating Systems with Lua [pdf]
Seems like a perfect use-case for Janet. (https://janet-lang.org/) A fast minimal VM like Lua, but even more extensible than Lua by being a "Lisp" with macro and C extension capabilities. Not a true Lisp, it's very pragmatic and performance-oriented. But it keeps the good stuff.

Ask HN: A Lisp with Cargo/NPM like build system?
You might be looking for: https://janet-lang.org/
It comes with a build tool `jpm` which installs dependencies globally by default, but you can have it be installed in your project folder as well.

Babashka: Fast native Clojure scripting runtime
I like Clojure, but I never had any good opportunities to use it other than for a few small hobby projects. It is unfortunate that it is so huge with tons of dependencies and no simpler native implementation. I started looking at various LISPs and Schemes to find something lighter to use instead and ended up settling for Janet that I think is Clojure-like enough to be comfortable to use, but in a small native binary with no dependencies and can be embedded in other native programs. I am sure for big, real, projects that Clojure makes more sense, but for my hobby projects and scripts I do not think I will install it again. I am still happy for the things I learned from learning Clojure. It was a real eye-opener for an old OO-programmer.

Red Programming Language
Thanks!
I thought about another multiplatform, homoiconic, highly compact language: https://janet-lang.org/ (takes 803 kb on my machine).
It has no types though.

Systems Programming with Racket
Racket is great, and if you like it you might find Rash interesting:
https://rash-lang.org/
Janet and Gerbil Scheme are also worth a look:

how did you finally reach Lisp enlightenment?
Point here is that, for instance Janet language does not have cons / pair type but tuple (and so is lispoid, not lisp), but clearly this is sufficient for macros & hence seamless language construction: all you need is to be a lispoid although being a lisp gives another useful feature.

Embeddable Common Lisp 23.9.9
The SCI/babashka clojure interpreter might be a good fit, if you're ok with a lisp.
It's mature and fully sandboxed.

create-helix-app: project templates with Helix and more
To try it out, run npx create-helix-app in your terminal. It is powered by Nbb, Ink, and Helix itself!

Releasing Longdown: Convert longform markdown files to outline format used by Logseq
Thanks for building! May also want to share in #extension-news in discord to reach more users. Fwiw, you might be able to write the whole script without the need for compilation with https://github.com/babashka/nbb. You may also be interested in https://github.com/logseq/nbb-logseq as a fair amount of logseq core is scriptable

Administrative Scripting with Julia
I wish there was something elaborated for scripts that run on Node. I've been using nbb[1] for scripting, and although it all runs through Node.js, it is fast and quick to prototype scripts. The best part is in CI I can simply `npx nbb path/to/script.cljs`. Things get clunky if I want to use anything about of the Node stdlib though, since then you need the dreaded node_modules folder around.

I'm considering moving from Clojure to Common Lisp
For clojure I just found for babashka it seems someone natively compiled jsoup with graalvm and exposed (minimal functionality from it) as a babashka pod, or a possibility would be use nbb like babashka for node. But if racket has the libraries you need and you don't need js/jvm ecosystem than I'm sure it'll be great also

Is anyone using Shadow on the backend ?
There are some folks using nbb on the backend as well: https://github.com/babashka/nbb, e.g. in AWS Lambdas or via the sitefox framework: https://github.com/chr15m/sitefox. Don't expect stellar performance from nbb since it's interpreted CLJS rather than compiled (as you have with shadow-cljs) but for small scoped projects and fast prototyping it might be ok.

nbb: I'm confused how to include dependencies from Clojars
I tried reproducing this example from the nbb documentation.
