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.

It's 2023, so of course I'm learning Common Lisp
You can kind of do the same as DISASSEMBLE in Clojure.
There are some helper projects like https://github.com/Bronsa/tools.decompiler, and on the OpenJDK JitWatch (https://github.com/AdoptOpenJDK/jitwatch), other JVMs have similar tools as well.
It isn't as straightforward as in Lisp, but it is nonetheless doable.

How much is too much? 380+ lines of an AssertionUtil class Or Loggin classes in general.
As you have encapsulated the asserts inside methods, these will be called at runtime with the arguments evaluated (for example, creating that lambda). When assertions are disabled, the C1/C2 may inline the empty method call eventually, but I don't know whether it drops the lambda instantiation as well. You can use JITWatch to see what gets inlined. The general notion though is to not worry too much. Lazy log messages are a common pattern.

JIT x86 ia32
You can use jitwatch for this. To see the actual assembly code generated you will also need to use a debug build of the jvm.

SIMD accelerated sorting in Java – how it works and why it was 3x faster
If you use Oracle's own IDE, it will support it out of the box, as it already did on Sun's days.
Then there are other ways depending on which JVM implementation is used.
On OpenJDK's case you can load runtime plugin to do it

Why Zig When There Is Already C++ and Rust?
If you already know any JVM or .NET language, the first step would be to understand the full stack, you don't need C for that.
Many of us were doing systems programming with other languages before C went mainstream.
What you need to learn is computer architecture.
Getting back to JVM or .NET, you can get hold of JIT Watch, VS debug mode or play online in SharpLab.
Get to understand how some code gets translated into MSIL/JVM, and how those bytecodes end up being converted into machine code.

Languages like F# and C# allow you to leave the high level comfort and also do most of the stuff you would be doing in C.
Or just pick D, which provides the same comfort and goes even further in low level capabilities.
Use them to write a toy compiler, userspace driver, talking to GPIO pins in a PI, manipulating B-Tree data stuctures directly from inodes, a TCP/IP userspace driver.
Not advocating not to learn Zig, do it still, the more languages one learns the better.
Only advocating what might be an easier transition path into learning about systems programming concepts.

JIT 101
You can enable a lot of debug information about how the compiler decides what to do with your code using feature flags like -XX:+UnlockDiagnosticVMOptions -XX:+PrintInlining. If you want to dive deeper into the world of the Hotspot JIT Compiler, have a look at JITWatch.

Bun - The One Tool for All Your JavaScript/Typescript Project's Needs?
NodeJS is by no means a slow runtime, it wouldn’t be so popular if it was. But compared to Bun, it’s slow. Bun was built from the ground up with speed in mind, using both JavascriptCore and Zig. The Bun team spent an enormous amount of time and energy trying to make Bun fast, including lots of profiling, benchmarking, and optimizations.

Bun 1.1
ntdll.dll!RtlUserThreadStart()
There are valid reasons to use APIs from NTDLL. Where I disagree with zig#1840 is the idea that it is always better to use NTDLL versions of API. Every other software ecosystem uses the standard Win32 APIs and diverging from that without a good reason seems like a good way to have unexpected behavior. One concrete example is most users and programmers expect Windows to redirect some file system paths when running on WOW64. But this is implemented in Kernel32, not ntdll.
