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.

uLisp
I went down many of those routes myself, though not the lisp ones. There's also TCL. But I've settled on Nim as my favorite for embedded (at least for a while). For the esp2866 Rust (or D) would be tricky. Nim can compile to C, unlike Rust which doesn't support the Xtensa architecture found on most esp chips. Not sure about D bit it seems unlikely to support Xtensa.
There's a Nim Esp2866 sdk: https://github.com/clj/nim-esp8266-sdk

Literate programming: Knuth is doing it wrong
The whole of ferret's source code is in a single org-mode file, following the literate programming style: https://github.com/nakkaya/ferret/blob/master/ferret.org

Learning Clojure made me return back to C/C++
fyi there's some middle ground via ferret if you want to mix the two in the future. I think janet lang is more full featured, borrowing ideas from clojure while targeting simple embedding alongside c.

uLisp
Another commenter already mentioned Gambit Scheme. That provides for inline C and therefore very easy interop with external libraries. It still has a runtime and GC though - those might pose a problem depending on your platform and task.
Ferret (https://github.com/nakkaya/ferret) and Carp (https://github.com/carp-lang/Carp) are both Lisp-like low level languages. Both seem to be fairly experimental in nature though.
> anything but C
Taking you literally, Rust and D can both compile for bare metal. D in particular has a "Better C" subset. (https://dlang.org/spec/betterc.html)
In the same vein, Terra is a C like language (manual memory management) that you metaprogram with Lua. (https://github.com/terralang/terra)
Taking you very literally, Forth is also an option.

Writing a whole program in Org Mode
Impressive. Wonder how the performance in Emacs will be with a file this big... org source file
What are some alternatives?
nesper - Program the ESP32 with Nim! Wrappers around ESP-IDF API's.
janet - A dynamic language and bytecode vm
Carp - A statically typed lisp, without a GC, for real-time applications.
ulisp - A version of the Lisp programming language for ATmega-based Arduino boards.
llvm-cbe - resurrected LLVM "C Backend", with improvements
Lua-RTOS-ESP32 - Lua RTOS for ESP32
llvm-project - Fork of LLVM with Xtensa specific patches. To be upstreamed.
etaoin - Pure Clojure Webdriver protocol implementation
