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:

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.

What's the value proposition of meta circular interpreters?
I've tried researching this myself and can't find too much. There's this project metaes which is an mci for JS, and there's the SCI module of the Clojure babashka project, but that's about it. I also saw Triska's video on mci but it was pretty theoretical.

Embedding cherry in an existing CLJS app for runtime eval
Since cherry is a compiler, the code generally runs faster than with SCI which is an interpreter. For many cases SCI is fast enough, but numerical computations in a hot loop isn't one of its strenghts:

Compiled and Interpreted Languages: Two Ways of Saying Tomato
Startup and sustained performance are absolutely implementation issues. For example, SBCL will take its sweet time to make machine code out of Common Lisp, but CLISP will interpret and generate bytecode. Both are useful, and both implement the same language. Clojure on the JVM takes also takes plenty of time to start up, so some use an interpreter instead. Furthermore neither of these languages has a cost model, so the cost of anything is an implementation issue.

Third party integrations with a monolithic Clojure app
So far we have relied on an increasing number of home-grown integration points to our platform, where relevant combined with the excellent SCI (so we can write some Clojure-code when adhoc data conversions / calculations / tweaking is required).

You probably want to take a look at sci if you are creating a DSL or want to use Clojure itself as your DSL.

ClojureRS – Clojure interpreter implemented in Rust
Built with the lovely SCI library (https://github.com/babashka/sci) + GraalVM, probably the most useful GraalVM project I've seen in the wild so far.
Also, Babashka will probably always support more features than ClojureRS could ever, particularly the interop with the various Java classes/functions, as that'd be very hard to achieve in ClojureRS.
