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.

numericals - Performance of NumPy with the goodness of Common Lisp
How about the semantics? Nevermind, I looked -- utter nonsense, just like numpy.

Good Lisp libraries for math
Then there is a question - do you actually need these libraries? You can optimize code in Common Lisp (type declarations, usage of appropriate data structures, SIMD instructions etc). See this: https://github.com/digikar99/numericals/tree/master/sbcl-numericals <- SIMD instructions used from SBCL (on x86; these are processor-family specific so Apple M1 will have different ones).

Image classification in CL? Help with starting point
*I have not; I have a couple of WIP/alpha-stage libraries like dense-arrays and numericals that could be useful; once I find the time, I want to think about if these or its dependencies can be integrated into the existing libraries including antik mentioned by awesome-cl.

Machine Learning in Lisp
Personally, I've been relying on the stream-based method using py4cl/2, mostly because I did not - and perhaps do not - have the knowledge and time to dig into the CFFI based method. The limitation is that this would get you less than 10000 python interactions per second. That is sufficient if you will be running a long running python task - and I have successfully run trivial ML programs using it, but any intensive array processing gets in the way. For this later task, there are a few emerging libraries like numcl and array-operations without SIMD (yet), and numericals using SIMD. For reasons mentioned on the readme, I recently cooked up dense-arrays. This has interchangeable backends and can also use cl-cuda. But barring that, the developer overhead of actually setting up native-CFFI ecosystem is still too high, and I'm back to py4cl/2 for tasks beyond array processing.

polymorphic-functions - Possibly AOT dispatch on argument types with support for optional and keyword argument dispatch
I made this while running into code modularity issues with the numericals project I attempted last year; I did discover specialization-store, but found its goals in conflict with what I wanted to achieve; so I ended up investing in this.

How fast can you multiply matrices using only common lisp?
Is it me or numcl is faster than magicl? Matrix multiplication on magicl with pure lisp backend is

Rewrite Your Scripts In LISP - with Roswell
Interesting, I will, thanks! I am aware of numcl for CL, but I don't think it is "there" yet :).

Good Lisp libraries for math
The first that comes to mind is numcl. This works if (i) performance is not seriously a concern, (ii) you are not annoyed by julia-like JIT/JAOT compilation delays, (iii) copy-based slicing won't be a performance issue for you. To be fair, limitation (i) might be overcome by writing a better (simd-based) backend for numcl. numcl is fast, it compiles to fairly good code, but simd can boost the performance by another 4-8 times or so.

Efficiently/easily sample from a list - any existing alternative?
am I missing something that already exists (numcl / Alexandria / core language, etc?)

Lisp as an Alternative to Java (2000)
