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.

Elk: A low footprint JavaScript engine for embedded systems
This implementation is nuts. A decent chunk (but still very small subset) of ES5 in under 1400 lines of very readable C code. It includes a mark-and-sweep GC and an FFI.
It doesn't have an AST or a bytecode VM. It just interprets directly off of source code.
Take a look: https://github.com/cesanta/elk/blob/master/elk.c.
This implementation really sets a new bar for me in terms of compact-but-readable language implementations.
Separately, this isn't even Cesanta's only embedded JavaScript implementation. They also have: https://github.com/cesanta/mjs. This implementation is a bit more complete and is much bigger.

What is your programming stack, as well encryption with ESP32?
In the past I've programmed with ESP8266 with Mongoose OS using mJS - https://github.com/cesanta/mjs but it has on 1.5K GitHub stars and I assume there are other alternative as well for Python language

This year in Servo: over 1000 pull requests and beyond
I thought it would be a fun weird project to make Servo work with MS' abandoned JavaScript engine:
https://github.com/chakra-core/ChakraCore
Of course it is written in C++ and you'd probably want a pure Rust browser. But it is sad seeing that fairly complete open source JIT JavaScript engine sit and rot.

Roll your own JavaScript runtime, pt. 3
Not to forget the engine Charka: https://github.com/chakra-core/ChakraCore
The only bit of the old Edge that had its source emancipated. It was/is? quite performant.

Have you deployed Microsoft Todo to end users? How did you deploy it?
As a Linux user, I very much think Microsoft should have continued Trident and Chakra. Apple also should have continued releasing Safari for Windows. Our web QA setup was entirely built around Macs back then, but it was great to be able to test sites with Safari on Windows, and to have another responsive browser on Win32.

The Javascript Engine
Edge was initially using Chakra but has been rebuilt using Chromium and the V8 engine.

Crystal's Interpreter (2021)

I've found the source code to be quite readable too - albeit from a bug-finding perspective, not a strictly pedagogical one.

Exploring React Native’s new architecture
Furthermore, the new architecture decouples the JavaScript interface from the engine, enabling the use of other JavaScript engines such as Hermes, V8, or Chakra.

Enumerating and analyzing 40 non-V8 JavaScript implementations
I am astonished at the omission of ChakraCore, open sourced by Microsoft but sadly abandoned by them after they switched Edge to Chromium: https://github.com/chakra-core/ChakraCore. But it looks like it’s still chugging along as a community effort rather than being completely abandoned.
