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.

Hotswapping on native languages?
Mun is a statically typed language that compiles to machine code with LLVM, designed to be hot-reloadable: https://mun-lang.org/.

Best language to use as a scripting lang for my rust app

Mun v0.4.0 released
But that’s not all! In total, this release contains 111 pull requests made by 5 of our community contributors and our two Core Team members & Dependabot. Thanks for having our back! For a full list have a look at the changelog, but the main improvements are:
-
Mun v0.4.0: a statically-typed scripting language like Rust, written in Rust
Whenever I read about Mun, I'm always really, really intrigued… Until I remember that it currently has no string type and support for one is not currently planned. That's a bit of a shame, IMHO, because otherwise, this looks great!

Wren is a small, fast, class-based concurrent scripting language
There's mun [1] which is statically typed and AOT compiled.

Lessons from Writing a Compiler
From the reverse-dependencies of the salsa crate, the (archived) Lark compiler used it and the Mun compiler uses it.

(async) Rust doesn't have to be hard
I notice that there are projects like mun trying to achieve a similar goal, but I'm kind of curious why they are not getting much attention from the community.

Rust Is Hard, Or: The Misery of Mainstream Programming
Have you heard of https://mun-lang.org/ ?
It's an embeddable scripting language with the goal of being a Rust-like language that supports hot reloading of functions AND data. To achieve the latter, it uses GC'ed memory such that memory can easily be mapped when the memory's type changes.
It's still in early development but maybe one day will serve your needs :)

After working on our Godot + Rust game fulltime for one year it is now up on Steam
In terms of pure Rust engines/frameworks it seems the overall "problem" is lack of scripting, at least from my perspective. Mun seemed extremely interesting, but since even the project itself says "don't use it" I guess it's not a real option, and considering the amount of time we spent on the GDScript/Rust integration I'm a little worried that rolling something more custom would be even less efficient.

I had a great experience with Scala and hopefully it will get more popular
scala has 2 healthy and pretty complete lib ecosystems : check out typelevel and ZIO. Both are FP oriented, which might not be your cup of tea at first glance but I would encourage you to try em out ! Softest introduction would be to start with the typelevel cats library and build up from there. The excellent Scala with Cats will ease you softly into an FP mindset. It's a bit dated and for scala 2 only but translating to Scala 3 is a very good exercise if you feel so inclined !

Is it prudent to use Scala for anything new?
Last but not least, Scala is currently the language with one of the best effect systems in my opinion (https://zio.dev/). Kotlin for example has copied the approach with https://arrow-kt.io/ which I think is great actually. But when comparing Scala and Kotlin here, Scala wins by a large margin, it is a completely different world. It's like building a highly concurrent system in Erlang vs C.
Of course, if you don't want to learn things like union types, traits/typeclasses and effects (similar to async/await but more powerful) you will be annoyed by Scala. But once you learned them, you can never go back.

Is Parallel Programming Hard, and, If So, What Can You Do About It? [pdf]
I use ZIO (http://zio.dev) for Scala which makes parallel programming trivial.
Wraps different styles of asynchronicity e.g. callbacks, futures, fibers into one coherent model. And has excellent resource management so you can be sure that when you are forking a task that it will always clean up after itself.
Have yet to see anything that comes close whilst still being practical i.e. you can leverage the very large ecosystem of Java libraries.

40x Faster! We rewrote our project with Rust!
The one advantage Rust has over Scala is that it detects data races at compile time, and that's a big time saver if you use low level thread synchronization. However, if you write pure FP code with ZIO or Cats Effect that's basically a non-issue anyway.
