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.

Common Lisp polymorphic stories.
What are your thoughts on the Lisp Interface Library? I recognize that it doesn't cover some of your use cases since LIL is designed in a dynamic manner and does not provide the sort of compile-time type shenanigans that coalton can. Just from the standpoint of providing parametric polymorphism though, dynamic or not, what do you think of it?

If Lisp is so great
* CLOS being bolted on instead of truly integrated in the language; would need a JIT and something like https://github.com/marcoheisig/fast-generic-functions on system classes to go fast enough, Julia kinda does this (but it hurts my eyes)

Common Lisp polymorphic stories.
About static typing and generic functions, are there limitations to fast-generic-functions built over sealable-metaobjects too? I felt that reasonable, albeit it takes away the dynamic nature of the objects after sealing.
What are some alternatives?
ccl - Clozure Common Lisp
ctype - CL type system implementation
generic-cl - Generic function interface to standard Common Lisp functions
polymorphic-functions - A function type to dispatch on types instead of classes with partial support for dispatching on optional and keyword argument types.
sealable-metaobjects - A CLOSsy way to trade genericity for performance.
polymorph.maths - Maths for polymorph.stl
abstract-arrays - A structure and some facilities for an abstract-array structure in common lisp
cl-form-types - Library for determining the types of Common Lisp forms based on information stored in the environment.
coalton - Coalton is an efficient, statically typed functional programming language that supercharges Common Lisp.
