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.

Retro: A Modern, Pragmatic Forth
While not quite a Forth, Kitten is a stack language:

Stack-based array-friendly static-typed proof of concept
Since you're making a statically-typed concatenative language, I'll point you to a joy reference, kitten, notes to motivate type checking stack languages, and a paper that formalizes type checking for stack languages. Since this looks like a relatively high-level stack language (given the presence of ADTs), you may find that you want to add quotes to your language, specifically opaque quotes since your language is typed. In that case, you'll realize that you'll need a better way to formulate polymorphism over stacks, and the paper on type checking will provide that to you.

A Forth Apologia
Well, there is Kitten, although it hasn't seen an update in two years and was moving quite slowly before that too.

I much prefer `data.action()` to `action(data). Is it an r/unpopularopinion?

Retro: A Modern, Pragmatic Forth
> I would love a Forth with a type system. I don't know if that is heretical [...].
Mitch Bradley (of Open Firmware fame) thinks it’s old hat[1], so guess not. (He also thinks it won’t work though.) In general, people have tried a lot of times; there’s a number of postfix Lisps with type systems—Kitten mentioned elsethread, ActorForth[2], etc.; a low-level Forth, as in untyped cells on stack and no automatic memory management, I don’t think has been done to completeness (IIRC either Forth, Inc. or MPE have a standing offer for any that’s able to process their legacy code), but then C wouldn’t be complete by that standard either (and Rust far too limiting).
Honestly I’m not sure how well it would work—in C, you get a great deal of utility out of compound types, and classic cell-oriented Forth kind of sucks at even mildly complex datastructures—they are certainly possible, but being unable to manipulate them as values on the stack makes things quite unnatural. (And that’s where I draw the line of “postfix Lisps” like PostScript rather than Forths, as such manipulation doesn’t seem feasible without some sort of automatic memory management.)
