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.

Lil: A Scripting Language
To clarify for others who only follow the link titles, this is not the Tcl-inspired scripting language Lil[1] nor the other Tcl-inspired, C-clothes-wearing Little[2].

Ask HN: Which tech stack is the most pleasurable?
This is great! I write a lot of one-off utilities that run on my main desktop as web applications backed by sqlite so you're really speaking my language here!
I enjoyed the little bit of exposure that I had to Tcl/Tk through EXPECT, I used to write a lot of embedded test scaffolding using it back in the 00s. I've also been interested in checking out Little Language [0].
Wapp looks like a great place to start with Tcl.

Little: a statically typed, C-like scripting language.
The last public commit on their GitHub repository was in 2016, so you're probably right, though it's possible there's still internal development. The commit history seems to imply that they have a separate, internal repository that they occasionally sync with the GitHub repo.

Little-Lang
The repo is odd, it's hard to tell where the actual little-lang code is. I guess it's in the tclXXX directory?

Show HN: Wren – simple yet super extensible task management system
For a moment I thought it was about wren programming language... [1]

Attempting each AOC in a language starting with each letter of the alphabet
For "W" you could use Wren.

loxcraft: a compiler, language server, and online playground for the Lox programming language
Bob Nystrom also has a blog, and his articles are really well written (see his post on Pratt parsers / garbage collectors). I'd also recommend going through the source code for Wren, it shares a lot of code with Lox. Despite the deceptive simplicity of the implementation, it (like Lox) is incredibly fast - it's a great way to learn how to build production grade compilers in general.

Bevy 0.10: data oriented game engine built in Rust
Only kind of unrelated ... Every time I see the Bevy logo I'm reminded of Wren language https://wren.io/

Are they all like this?
If you want a pure C99 (sadly not C89 like Lua) immensely fast embeddable language pure interpreter, wren is a great language with excellent features like overload by arity. There is a huge maturity gap between the languages tho.

Most important language features not touched in the book "Crafting Interpreters"?
Check out the source to Wren: https://wren.io. It’s from the author of Crafting Interpreters and builds directly on what’s discussed in the book (essentially a more complete Lox) and adds several additional types, including an array.
- Why does Rust have parameters on impl?
- Liberating the Smalltalk lurking in C and Unix

What are some good C programs I can read through?
The best C code I have ever read is that of wren.
