The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
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.

Why are imperative programs considered faster than their functional counterparts?
There is a review of the study at https://github.com/joinr/performancepaper. Basically by using optimization tricks (recur for recursive function call, unchecked math, using Java types, etc.) Tom meets/beats the performance of Java.

Making the LinkedIn experimentation engine 20x faster
I did a contrast with someone's graduate thesis that aimed to analyze clojure vs. java performance and made some weak claims. The rep is here, and it's really the org file. Sort of a worked example of optimizing code.

I rewrote a Clojure tool in Rust
I often see people knocking on Clojure saying its performance is bad when they are still not familiar with all the core library has to offer and what idiomatic performant Clojure can look like. Take a look here for some examples by joinr

Dargent: A Silver Bullet for Data Layout Refinement [pdf]
Found while on my hunt for POPL23 preprints. I wonder how much it relates to the unboxed types project for OCaml.
-
Why are imperative programs considered faster than their functional counterparts?
A middle ground between uniform representation and specializing for every type is specializing for every data layout. See the unboxed types RFC for OCaml.

PR to Merge Multicore OCaml
For both 2 and 3 you may find https://github.com/ocaml/RFCs/blob/unboxed-types/rfcs/unboxe... very interesting. I'm hoping that progresses beyond the RFC stage.
