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.

Common Lisp and Music Composition
Other Common Lisp applications for music, written in LispWorks:
ScoreCloud, Music Notation: https://scorecloud.com
MusicEase, Music Notation: https://www.musicease.com/
OpenMusic, Music composition with a visual programming language: https://github.com/openmusic-project/openmusic/
OM#, based on OpenMusic: https://github.com/cac-t-u-s/om-sharp
Most of these applications are available for Mac and Windows, some even for Linux.
OpusModus (mentioned in the article) now is on Macs (Intel / Apple Silicon) and an upcoming version is promised for Windows: https://opusmodus.com

Scheme vs CL? Differences? Pros and Cons?
For example IRCAM (French institute dedicated to the research of music and sound ) develops graphical/visual programming systems for music composition: OpenMusic is a long time project, which is Open Source, but runs only on top of LispWorks, because of its GUI capabilities. A project derived from OpenMusic is OM#, which also written on top of LispWorks. ScoreCloud is a commercial product written with LispWorks. Also OpusModus (a commercial music composition system written in Clozure CL) is currently being ported to LispWorks (mentioned by the developers): then it will be possible to run on new Macs and also on Windows.

This is the code https://github.com/charlesneimog/OM-CKN, but it need of the OM-Sharp https://github.com/cac-t-u-s/om-sharp. Build in Lisp too but use some functions of AudioJack in C.

Explorative Programming
Your ideas sounded very much like a mixup of Common Lisp with SLIME, Smalltalk interactivity and Unison-like storage of code in a database instead of files.
I've tried all of them, I think the closest thing I've seen to what you describe, which I also find very attractive, is the GT Smalltalk environment: https://gtoolkit.com/
Have you tried that? They call this idea "moldable development" as you can "mold" your environment to your needs.
Even though I loved it, I ended up not using it much, mostly because it's a bit too heavy to keep handy for exploration all the time when needed (it takes like 1GB of RAM even when idle!)... as I already can do most of that with emacs, which is much lighter, I just stick with it.

Smalltalk simplicity and consistency vs. other languages (2022) [video]
> This power that Smalltalk systems have where the code runs in a GUI that is also the editor/debugger/etc has deeply fascinated me recently.
Have you tried emacs?
> And I'd like to actually understand a tool that I'd have to dive into that deeply, and I think I'll never have the time to truly understand all of the VM, the classes, etc.
I've recently tried to do that myself with Smalltalk via the Glamorous Toolkit[1] (a beautiful, modern Smalltalk environment based on Pharo). Because the programming environment itself comes with a Book teaching it, you can basically just read it as a normal digital book, but with the superpower that everything is editable and interactive: you can change the book itself, every code example is runnable and you can inspect the result objects right there, change it, modify the view for it... they say it's "moldable development" because you almost literally mold the environment as you write your code and learn about the platform.
> And I'd like to be able to create applications that run without shipping the entire Smalltalk VM.
That's why even though I really enjoyed SmallTalk, I can't really see it as anything more than a curiosity. I tried using it at least for my own occasional data exploration because it has good visualisation capabilities and super easy to use HTTP client/JSON parser etc., but the system is so heavy (1GB+ of RAM) that I couldn't justify keeping it open all the time like I do with emacs, on the offchance that I might need to use it for some small task.
Anyway, perhaps that's something you might be interested in.

Pharo 11, the pure object-oriented language and environment is released!
Last time I tried to "hydrate" thousands of SQL rows into objects and both Pharo and the Glamorous Toolkit froze up. Maybe that is to be expected, but I've done that a million times on the JVM without any problems.

Ask HN: Has anyone fully attempted Bret Victor's vision?
In my opinion the idea is more than direct data manipulation. It is about how we get feedback. In drawing, the medium to draw is the same medium to read. In programming, there is often a mismatch - coding on a text file, running on somewhere else, e.g. terminal, browser, remote server. If you count surrounding activities for programming, like versioning, debugging, metering and profiling, even more system is involved. We are not even touching the myriad of SaaS offering each tackling carve out a little pie out of the programming life cycle.
Back to your question, from my naive understanding, smalltalk seems to be an all in one environment. The Glamorous Toolkit [1] seems to be that environment on steroid. I have no useful experience to share though.

Emacs Is Not Enough
Wrote a review on it on the website, copypasting:
Glamorous Toolkit[1] promotes the idea of moldable development[2].
There's a talk on it: Tudor Gîrba - Moldable development.[3]
The basic idea is to have multiple views and editors for any piece of data in your system (including code). Kind of interesting, but the toolkit looks and acts more like a fancy computational notebook type of environment, but without explicitly being a computational notebook.
The site on moldable development states its difference with literate programming:
They are similar in that they both promote the use of narratives for depicting systems. However, Literate Programming offers exactly a single narrative, and that narrative is tied to the definition of the code. Through Moldable Development we recognize that we always need multiple narratives, and that those narratives must be able to address any part of the system (not only static code).
And that's a sensible viewpoint. But I still see it as an advanced version of a literate programming, all done within an interactive environment.
The focus of Glamorous Toolkit seems to be on explaining a code base or a certain part of the system via presenting it via a custom tool.
But I am not too convinced with the top-level development model / workflow it assumes for you. I guess it's too narrowly-focused / opinionated.
It's also a custom fork of Pharo, so the question of long-term stability is even more unclear than that of Pharo itself.
I can't say I can compare it to Project Mage in any meaningful way, except it's also a live environment.
