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?
luajit.org said
-
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.

Ravi is a dialect of Lua, with JIT and AOT compilers
it's based off MIR, does it have something to do with https://mlir.llvm.org/ ?
for typed lua, there is another effort https://github.com/teal-language/tl in addition to the mentioned typescript approach: https://github.com/andremm/typedlua

Lua Criticism Is Unwarranted
I had the pleasure of working with Lua 5.1 back in the late noughties. For me it's replaced Tcl whenever I want something I can configure above a C library. At the time I used it I found it quite nice but I'll also not forget the hours I wasted tracking down nil table corruptions which could have easily been caught by a type checker.
I had some hope that Luau https://luau-lang.org or Teal https://github.com/teal-language/tl would make things better but with the following example
function foo(x: number): string
- Why Fennel?
-
Algebraic data types in Lua (Almost) post
I wonder why the author doesn't use Teal [0] - a typed dialect of lua.

What's the deal with Fennel in Neovim?
There is already https://github.com/teal-language/tl, which is typed Lua. I think fennel exists to serve a different niche-- personally I use it not for any type features; I just like the syntax better, and others may find certain features like the macro system useful.

Using other languages
There's also some languages made to compile straight to Lua: - MoonScript is the most popular Lua wrapper - it's built to be more Python-like, featuring indentation-based scopes, function calls without parentheses, lambda syntax, list comprehension, and much more. - Yuescript is a modern update to MoonScript that adds more features (I haven't used it myself, so I'm not entirely sure exactly how it differs from MS). - Teal is a version of Lua that adds static typing for better code standards.

Bog – small, strongly typed, embeddable language
Terra and Nelua are both very different in goals than Teal. Teal is literally gradual types integrated into Lua keeping as many of Lua's idioms as possible (to a fault[1]). Terra and Nelua are both very metaprogrammable systems programming languages. Nelua's goals are primarily to soften C's rough edges, comparable to something like Nim.
There's another one you missed in Pallene[2]. But again, it's goal was to optimize the stack sharing involved in using the C API. It also adds types though and maintains Lua idioms as much as possible.
