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.

Is massive parallelism (e.g. HPC) possible in Common Lisp (or any other lisp)?
I would say lfarm is to message-passing parallelism as lparallel is to shared-memory parallelism; giving you map-reduce(?) and promise-based parallelism, rather than straight message passing.

Curiosity: scheduler choices for lispy microservice architecture.
I have seen cl-gearman used in the wild (for example for Ultralisp), there is lfarm (distributing work across machines, on top of lparallel and usocket), "jobs" and "workers" makes me think cl-gserver (Erlang-inspired GenServer, actors pattern)… not really answering, throwing ideas in case you didn't see them, and furnish this discussion a bit :]

Why Lisp?
> static strong typing
Alright, here is it: https://github.com/coalton-lang/coalton/
> small efficient native binaries
The numbers are: with SBCL's core-compression, a web app with dozens on dependencies will weight ±30 to 40MB. This includes the compiler, the debugger, etc. Without core compression, we reach ±150MB.

Alright. Some do, that's life. Yes, some companies go with CL even in 2023 (https://lisp-journey.gitlab.io/blog/lisp-interview-kina/, they released https://github.com/KinaKnowledge/juno-lang lately; Feetr (finance): https://twitter.com/feetr_io/status/1587182923911991303)

> Give us an HTTP (1.x & 2.0) and WebSockets libraries
How so? We have those libraries. HTTP/2: https://github.com/zellerin/http2/

- Sento: Actor Framework for Common Lisp
- Sento actor framework 3.0 released - no new features, many API changes: cleanups, obstacles removed, and hopefully a more consistent way of doing things.
- New version of the Sento Actor Framework released with a few new goodies in future handling. Nicer syntax and futures can now be mapped.

Between Two Lisps (2020)
It's nice to see the CL ecosystem evolving. SBCL sees regular updates with new optimizations. The editor support is getting better: [Vim, Atom, Sublime, VSCode… have good to very good support](https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/editor-support.ht...), & Jupyter notebook, the Lem editor… and a new lisper started a CL editor based on Tauri: [Parrot](https://github.com/fonol/parrot). Cool projects emerge ([lisp-stats](https://github.com/Lisp-Stat/lisp-stat/), the [Sento / cl-gserver](https://github.com/mdbergmann/cl-gserver) actors library, the Kons-9 3D graphics library, the CLOG web-gui…)
> 50MB
With compression (zstd now), SBCL binaries weigh ±25MB. Start-up time is super fast. I built a standalone binary for my web app, it is straightforward to start it on the background and access it from an Electron window.

LEM - What If Emacs Was Multithreaded
what's nice in CL is that we can choose. We have a nice actor-style library now (https://github.com/mdbergmann/cl-gserver).

Low weight timeouts async `ask` operations
Version 1.9 of cl-gserver adds low weight timeouts for async ask operations with the help of timer wheels. https://github.com/mdbergmann/cl-gserver
