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.

Clojure Scripting on Node.js
Is this similar to Lumo (https://github.com/anmonteiro/lumo)? I would assume Lumo has a faster start time since it boots from a V8 snapshot, but otherwise I'd assume the two projects are similar (except that, of course, lumo is EOL)

Clojure, but without the JVM?
Lumo: a standalone ClojureScript environment, runs on Node.js. Doesn't seem to have its own reader conditional, uses :cljs.
-
Racket v8.0 is out!
Lumo and Planck (standalone Clojurescript environments, based on Node and on JavaScriptCore with some additional functionality to make it suitable for scripting, respectively), and Clojerl (Clojure implemented on BEAM). Startup times are comparable to e.g. Racket.

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.

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:

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.
