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.

A free demo for Kandria (written in CL) is now on Steam
I started using Common Lisp at work as a way to develop features more quickly in a Java Sprint Boot application.

Datasets for education
For the last several months I have been using SPARQL Anything to triplify non-RDF and I've been blogging about it here. The post about Google Sheets might be a helpful intro. With SPARQL Anything you can triplify tabular and non-tabular data.

Array programming language(s) for 3d-graphics?
I blogged about CEPL a while back (for vim users). You can use the approach in my blog post even if you don't have hardware acceleration.

I am planning my master's thesis to be about quantum computing and Lisp. Which books do you recommand on the subject ?
Quil's semantics are based off of an idea called the "quantum abstract machine". A piece of software which emulates the quantum abstract machine is called the Quantum Virtual Machine or QVM. It's open source and available here.

Lisp For Quantum Simulation?
More interestingly, the QVM repository includes a program called the dqvm which is the QVM but able to be run on an MPI cluster. This doesn't use any advanced state representation (such as matrix product states) and instead just very cleverly arranges for huge wavefunctions to be distributed across a cluster of arbitrary size and worked on in parallel.

The one-more-re-nightmare compiler – A fast regex compiler in Common Lisp
and/or in-line assembly code, and still can't optimize specific matrix shapes and structures, or do algebraic simplifications to eliminate work altogether.
The regex library FTA is a great, and clean, example of a long standing practice of compiling regexen, except it doesn't use any fancy VMs or any fancy JITs, just "when you see this regex, automatically turn it into this Common Lisp code, and let the Lisp compiler handle the rest."

Anybody using Common Lisp or clojure for data science
Yes, simulator, compiler, paper is some of it.

A compact quantum-computer that fits in 19-inch server racks
You can also do this with purely free and open source software like [0].

Berkeley Lab Debuts Perlmutter, World’s Fastest AI Supercomputer
I wish I could try running the DQVM, the distributed quantum simulator written in Common Lisp [0], on this thing.
