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.

What is a feature of other languages that you miss in Lisp?
Here's a Lisp library for contracts: https://github.com/sellout/quid-pro-quo (not saying this is what ADA has ..)

Lisp is Not an Acceptable Lisp
These are just his opinions. Many people really enjoy CLOS, and closer-mop provides better compatibility across implementations. Hygienic macros can be cool (like Racket's) but ultimately I'd consider them a preference. defmacro and gensym are more than fine. CL's type system is quite flexible, and there's stuff like defstar for better function signatures and quid-pro-quo for contract programming (which can actually solve the heading numbering problem). Multimethods are awesome. If you want an ML/Hindley-Milner type system then you should probably be using a different language anyway.

What is a feature of other languages that you miss in Lisp?
I learned Common Lisp before I learned Python, so I am not impress by generators, normally you can emulate them using closures, at least the ones I've used. Lazy evaluation also is a good way to obtain that kind of functionality. If you want to know the how this is a good article. He refers in that article to his library (slow-jam), which does several interesting things. You can also take a look at this.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing quid-pro-quo and slow-jam you can also consider the following projects:
mgl-pax - Documentation system, browser, generator.
liz - Lisp-flavored general-purpose programming language (based on Zig)
coalton - Coalton is an efficient, statically typed functional programming language that supercharges Common Lisp.
