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.

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

The Kitten Programming Language
Like all other languages voted to the HN front page that claim that they have magically solved memory management, this project's website is simply lying.
Looking at https://github.com/evincarofautumn/kitten/issues/193: "Does kitten require garbage collection?" -- "Nope. [...] The plan is that boxed lists ([…], List) and closures ({…}) are reference-counted" and https://github.com/evincarofautumn/kitten/issues/131: "Explore GC strategies" -- "The C backend currently uses naïve reference counting."
A quick skim of kitten.c confirms that objects have a reference count field and are only really released when it drops to zero. (I didn't find code that increments the reference count, but I find it hard to care.)
The project's website claims:
> Automatic management of memory and resources with no garbage collector.
One can weakly argue that many people mean tracing garbage collection when they speak of garbage collection, and that reference counting is not garbage collection in this narrow sense. This is unhelpful at best.
The FAQ has the claim I quoted above, of which the "when you drop a value from the stack, it gets deallocated" appears to be simply false.
