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.

x-in-y lines - Succintly written (<1000 non-obfuscated loc), fully-functional software in any language.
almost all my codes in https://github.com/phreda4/r3 and https://github.com/phreda4/r4 have less 1000 lines, but all forth have code with minimun lines of code

r4 Forth
Looking here I think they've made the decision to go with the MIT licence.

Share cool Forth programs!
I wrote many programs in r4 (32 bits windows).. see in https://github.com/phreda4/r4
-
which forth do you guys use for normal day to day scripting and programming
r4 is for 32bit https://github.com/phreda4/r4

Looking for a simple forth compiler (producing asm/executables, not compiling forth words) to learn from, preferably in C family language
I have a vm in c for my forth, I have a compiler to asm (generate FASM output) but in the same lenguage, really a forth compiler is a simple program, there are a 1:1 correspondence in code genaration and words. here the 32bits source https://github.com/phreda4/r4/blob/master/r4/System/r4i86.txt here the 64bits with some optimizations: https://github.com/phreda4/r3d4/blob/master/r3/sys/r3asm0.r3 I hope this help

What is actually Forth ?
I was careful to say I was referring to Windows/Mac/Linux only, but it looks like I'm wrong - there's SP-Forth, which was last updated yesterday.
-
which forth do you guys use for normal day to day scripting and programming
I use SP-Forth (production), Gforth (testing).
What are some alternatives?
