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.

Why Fennel?
This post inspired me to look for an ML-like language that compiles to lua and I found this useful list: https://github.com/hengestone/lua-languages
-
Using other languages
There's a complete list of languages that compile to Lua available here: https://github.com/hengestone/lua-languages

How should i make a lua-based programming language?
There are a ton of different ways to do this but you haven't given enough information to give useful advice. What kind of language do you want to make? "as a module of smth else" doesn't really mean anything. https://github.com/hengestone/lua-languages

Researching Lispy Neovim
There's also gpanders/nvim-moonwalker, which advertises Fennel in it's readme but works for any x->lua language you return the lua code for, ie: teal, moonscript, uh... others?

Lang Lua
I went on a several-weeks-long fact finding mission (the longest of its kind I've ever done in my 10 years as a professional software developer).
The option that won was to write all business logic (a few thousand lines of code) in Lua, then write the GUI in each platform's native language+ui-library combination and re-use the same business logic by embedding Lua.
Another option that made the shortlist was using Haxe instead of Lua, but after several weeks, it became clear that that was a bad idea, and with Lua, the developer experience is now so much better.
I definitely plan on continuing to use Lua as my main programming language.
This comes after 20 years of having python as my main programming language because I'm displeased with feature creep and bloat on python. With lua, I find that I barely miss any features/abilities from the vastly more complex python while the simplicity of lua means my code gets to "go places" where python can't go.
With lua, you find casual implementers making fully compatible alternative implementations (e.g. NeoLua for C#, Luna for Java, fengari for JavaScript, ...) With Python, alternative implementations seemingly just can't keep up with the pace at which CPython is introducing unnecessary new features and CPython-compatbility is de-facto the only meaningful python standard there is. Jython and IronPython would make the platform so much more appealing, but they appear dead in the water. Python implementations for the browser pop up every couple of years only to quietly disappear again.
What's more: Once you've settled on Lua as am embedding language, developers of Lua logic are free to use not just Lua, but they can pick from a host of cool transpile-to-Lua languages [1].

Hello i am new. Is there a way to use another language than lua for modding?
However, there are many languages to which this doesn’t apply (before Fennel I’ve tried to write Minetest mods in Haxe without success).
-
What do you think about MoonScript?
Maybe most of them are also small projects, but there are a lot of projects that compile other languages to Lua: https://github.com/hengestone/lua-languages .

Luau Goes Open-Source
Doubtful, but there is TypescriptToLua: https://typescripttolua.github.io/
Here's a whole list of languages that compile to Lua (many of them statically typed): https://github.com/hengestone/lua-languages
- Python and Lua (2019)

Has anybody written Neovim config in Typescript, and transpiled it to Lua?
That's just because there are lots of lua transpilers. https://github.com/hengestone/lua-languages

Vim-writegood: nothing, but a simple Vim9 wrapper around write-good.
That's not happening any time soon, but there's this project by one of Neovim's contributers that transpiles Vim9 script into Lua.
-
Introducing neovim config written in C
Probably feasible with https://github.com/tjdevries/vim9jit actually
-
Has anyone migrated their vimrc to vim9script ?
There's https://github.com/tjdevries/vim9jit. It has reportedly been used to port Vim9script runtime files to Neovim.

-
What does emacs and elisp has as an advantage over nvim and lua?
Neovim is going to use a transpiler that covers vim9script code to lua code using the nvim api in the future (https://github.com/tjdevries/vim9jit)
-
Any Vimscript to Lua transpilers?
I didn’t watch the streams because I wasn’t totally sure what he was even doing, but maybe this will take some of it off your hands: https://github.com/tjdevries/vim9jit
-
I am done with vim (ThePrimeagen)
It could (rightly) be argued that neovim could just merge in vim9script, but I think this probably isn't the best more. I'm personally more in favor of getting a vim9 cross-compiler working, that way there's an easy way to support both. But that's my ignorant two cents on the matter.
-
So, is your main editor Vim or Neovim?
A core contributor to Neovim is toying with a Vim9Script to Lua convertor.

Vim 9.0 Was Released
That's not necessarily true.
Core maintainer of the Neovim Tjdevries is working on a compatibility layer that would allow vim9 to not only run in Neovim, but likely faster.

-
Vim 9 has been released
My understanding was the neovim folks decided this wasn't work the hassle. TJ already has https://github.com/tjdevries/vim9jit, which transpiles vim9scripts to lua, and that is much more likely the way things will go.
