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.

Is there a safe and robust interpreter/scripting language? Or should I write it myself?
Your project might be a good candidate for the Moddable SDK: https://github.com/Moddable-OpenSource/moddable In particular the "mods" feature that allows sandboxed user scripts.

It doesn't require it, that's just what they choose, and it has little to do with the language. (Besides, if you actually observe them—and ignore what they tell you about liking JS—then it's clear that most of them hate their preferred language.) Languages and the bindings that a particular runtime exposes are orthogonal. You can have GTK apps written in JS, for example, or you can write a program in JS that compiles into a binary that runs on a microcontroller[2].
This is much more of a problem with the culture of Electron and the adjacent NPM ecosystem than it is anything else. Conflating the source of these problems is a great way to tank any would-be activism meant to solve them.

Microvium Is Small
I experimented with Moddable some time ago and also contributed a module for Linux. It's written in C and I found the code quite readable, and the entire architecture good too. It's almost ES6 complete too.

Pikascript: An ultra-lightweight Python engine that can run in 4Kb of RAM
There's JavaScript/ECMAScript via Moddable's XS engine: https://github.com/Moddable-OpenSource/moddable
"A typical microcontroller used with the Moddable SDK has about 45 KB of free memory, 1 MB of Flash ROM, and runs at 80 MHz. The Moddable SDK uses many different techniques, both at build time and at run time, to work efficiently on these devices."

You think that’s bad. How about JavaScript for embedded https://github.com/Moddable-OpenSource/moddable

Lisp Badge LE
I love his projects too. He's also the creator of uLisp.

Lisp in Space
Not CL, but there is ulisp (http://www.ulisp.com/) for microcontrollers, supposed to be really tiny, and there is Carp (https://github.com/carp-lang/Carp) which is without a GC so seems suitable for real-time stuff.

fe: A tiny, embeddable language implemented in ANSI C
There's also ulisp (for Arduino projects etc.): http://www.ulisp.com/
This is larger, because there are functions for accessing peripherals, and the core is more standard lispy with 'caadr' et.al., and it has a compacting GC, so images can be saved as a compact blob.
- ¿Any interpreted lenguage working in low memory microcontrollers?

Anyone tried to run ECL on a Pi Pico?
You might consider uLisp, it's very Common Lispy for the memory constraints given (sans macros and splicing quote). And you can still connect to it and save an image. I've tried it and it works well enough. Here is the homepage.

What do you think of Forth?
Agreed - the interactivity is good. Lisp is close (have you seen http://www.ulisp.com/ - I can't believe they got into into that small a target!). Python is ok, but for some reason I don't use the REPL in the same way I do in Forth - I think calling functions is just harder somehow. Mostly is exploring valves from the Python REPL.
