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.

Luajit is almost stop development, what will be neovim’s future?
And Neovim is using OpenResty's branch of Luajit

Fengari – Lua for the Browser
Yea, LuaJIT can get near C speeds, as far as I'm aware. You can read more here: https://luajit.org/luajit.html

Could someone clarify Raylib for me?
I also found this gtihub repo, this one is using luaJIT a just in time lua compiler, i dont know if you have any python expirience but this one, but from what i understand luaJIT makes lua a language that can be compiled and run in your terminal, it aperently also has a comminty made package/library manager called cherry.

What's the state of LuaJIT these days?
openresty's LuaJIT2 has, and makes, regular releases (the last one was less than a month ago), and closely tracks development, including the extensions beyond Lua 5.1.
-
Open letter to core vim developers and vim community
There is also the openresty fork of luajit which Neovim can be built with and provides their own releases.

What is the benefit of writing plugins in Lua rather than any other language?

Where to start on making a game engine
Remember, bad C++ code will certainly be slower than good code written in an interpreted language! That being said, Lua is very fast, one of the fastest scripting languages. See this thread, which talks about LuaJit.
-
Why LuaJIT's interpreter is written in assembly
https://github.com/openresty/luajit2
It has a few extras but they agree with the original luajit authors opinion that not every 5.2 feature can be made in jit.

Scriptable Operating Systems with Lua [pdf]
Seems like a perfect use-case for Janet. (https://janet-lang.org/) A fast minimal VM like Lua, but even more extensible than Lua by being a "Lisp" with macro and C extension capabilities. Not a true Lisp, it's very pragmatic and performance-oriented. But it keeps the good stuff.

Ask HN: A Lisp with Cargo/NPM like build system?
You might be looking for: https://janet-lang.org/
It comes with a build tool `jpm` which installs dependencies globally by default, but you can have it be installed in your project folder as well.

Babashka: Fast native Clojure scripting runtime
I like Clojure, but I never had any good opportunities to use it other than for a few small hobby projects. It is unfortunate that it is so huge with tons of dependencies and no simpler native implementation. I started looking at various LISPs and Schemes to find something lighter to use instead and ended up settling for Janet that I think is Clojure-like enough to be comfortable to use, but in a small native binary with no dependencies and can be embedded in other native programs. I am sure for big, real, projects that Clojure makes more sense, but for my hobby projects and scripts I do not think I will install it again. I am still happy for the things I learned from learning Clojure. It was a real eye-opener for an old OO-programmer.

One might also check out Janet for quick scripting tasks.

Red Programming Language
Thanks!
I thought about another multiplatform, homoiconic, highly compact language: https://janet-lang.org/ (takes 803 kb on my machine).
It has no types though.

Systems Programming with Racket
Racket is great, and if you like it you might find Rash interesting:
https://rash-lang.org/
Janet and Gerbil Scheme are also worth a look:

-
how did you finally reach Lisp enlightenment?
Point here is that, for instance Janet language does not have cons / pair type but tuple (and so is lispoid, not lisp), but clearly this is sufficient for macros & hence seamless language construction: all you need is to be a lispoid although being a lisp gives another useful feature.
