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.

Demo of a WAM Prolog Implementation in Python
If you're interested in implementing languages in Python, I've been enjoying watching the development of Porth[0], a stack-based, forth-like* language on Twitch.
* See readme disclaimer that there's no actual connection to Forth other than the stack-based design.

My history with Forth, and stack machines
My impression so far is (in general), Forth are practically limited to doing embedded/microcontroller development.
For us, web/mobile/desktop app devs, beside:
- 8th (https://8th-dev.com)
- Factor (https://factorcode.org)
Any suggestion which implementation we should look for?
- Forth: The programming language that writes itself: The Web Page
- Retro: A Modern, Pragmatic Forth
-
Pharo 11, the pure object-oriented language and environment is released!
Factor is also very much worth a look. Forth-style syntax, but with many of the ideas from CL and Smalltalk as well. In fact as a CL fan, I was very impressed by it. It's also quite "batteries included" a la Python.

The toki pona of programming.
Otherwise, and more seriously, I'm not completely sure variables are needed. Factor is quite usable (it's my favorite go-to language if I quickly need to script something), and mostly doesn't have them.

A Dynamic Forth Compiler for WebAssembly
There's a note on the page from 2022-08-19, that a lot has been added to it. It also links to the github page[1] for the up-to-date changes.
I am a Lisp, April, APL/J/BQE, and Forth[2] aficionado. I did some file munging programs in Factor back in 2012 at my job to sort through theater attendance logs in Word to compile statistics.

What the hell is Forth? (2019)
Is there any "battery-included" ANS Forth (more or less like Python/Go) which provides access to concurrency, networking, database, GUI, etc?
Not an embedded device programmer, but mostly deals with frontend apps, and occasionally backend, so those are very relevant to me.
Or perhaps use "non-traditional" Forths like 8th (https://8th-dev.com) or Factor (https://factorcode.org)?

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).
oil - Oils is our upgrade path from bash to a better language and runtime. It's also for Python and JavaScript users who avoid shell!
