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.
nelua-lang
- Nelua: Statically typed language with a Lua flavor
- Buzz: A lightweight statically typed scripting language

Lua has been a real eye opener for this Java dev
If you Like Lua's syntax and you wish you could achieve C speeds and have the metaprogramming ability of Java (Generics), by all means try https://nelua.io/ , you won't regret it!
- Minimal, simple, efficient, statically typed, compiled, metaprogrammable, safe, and extensible systems programming language

Pixelhopper: Tiny animated GIF player in C, with seeking, pause, etc (Linux x11 only, for now)
I should be uploading the code sometime this week, by the way. I'm looking for a way to bundle the code (which is written in Nelua) in a single C file, so anyone can build it without having to install all of the language and the dependencies.
- Using Lua with C++

Is it possible to make an OS in Lua?
You could probably write a kernel in Nelua or Luau, though I don't know of any efforts to do so.

V Language Review (2023)
Their site is clearly showing the language is in beta. The V documentation also states that autofree is WIP, and to use the GC instead. This isn't a corporate created language, but looks to be a true volunteer open source effort from people around the world.
Their community, in comparison to others, even has their discussions open and open threads for criticism[1]. These

Show HN: A new stdlib for Golang focusing on platform native support
Goroutines was the selling point for me until they decided to introduce telemetry in their toolchain; that was what forced me to stop using Golang as a whole.
About GC, I would say: if you implement C++'s RAII mechanism to replace garbage collection, then I believe this project will have a bright future.
My final question is the following: how `pcz` compares to V language, from a syntax's perspective [1]?

- Hopefully, the V developers will establish a relationship with Microsoft.

The V Programming Language 0.4
V has the right to exist, have its supporters, and do things its own way. The creator and developers of V, from what I have seen, has always responded well to constructive criticism. Their language has discussions opened at their GitHub, unlike those for various other languages. They even have a thread for what people don't like and want improved about the language[1], again, something many other languages don't have.
A lot of what was going on initially, was coming from obvious competitors, to include being uncivil, inflammatory, and insulting. The initial "criticism" was not so much that, but false accusations of the language being a scam, vaporware, fraud, or didn't really exist. To include attacks and jealousy about its funding and having supporters. This was not any kind of "valid" criticism, that the creator or contributors of the language could reason about.
The "criticism" never died down, but rather after V was open-sourced and established itself on GitHub. The initial series of false accusations could not stand nor could the support it was getting be stopped. So, the rhetoric and targets shifted to whatever could be found to go after on the newly released alpha version of the language and its new website. In that new mix of what was being thrown at it, there were indeed some very valid criticisms, as can be found with any new language.
Constructive and valid criticism, is not the same as insults, trolling, misinformation, rivalry, or false accusations. There is clearly a difference. It's disingenuous to pretend something from one group is the same as the other, or that the intent behind what is being done is not different.

What are some alternatives?
terra - Terra is a low-level system programming language that is embedded in and meta-programmed by the Lua programming language.
zig - General-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal, and reusable software.
LuaJIT - Mirror of the LuaJIT git repository
go - The Go programming language
moonscript - :crescent_moon: A language that compiles to Lua
Odin - Odin Programming Language
godot-lua-pluginscript - Godot PluginScript for the Lua language, currently based on LuaJIT's FFI
Nim - Nim is a statically typed compiled systems programming language. It combines successful concepts from mature languages like Python, Ada and Modula. Its design focuses on efficiency, expressiveness, and elegance (in that order of priority).
red - Red is a next-generation programming language strongly inspired by Rebol, but with a broader field of usage thanks to its native-code compiler, from system programming to high-level scripting and cross-platform reactive GUI, while providing modern support for concurrency, all in a zero-install, zero-config, single ~1MB file!
sokol - minimal cross-platform standalone C headers
language-lua - Lua parser and pretty-printer
