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.

Red Programming Language
Red seems to have similar challenges. They have their code on GitHub, but the Releases are confusing. They have 3 releases posted. The latest one is 5 years old. But the project is active. You can download from their site, but the version number isn’t obvious.
From poking at the project, it looks interesting but not ready to really try out yet.

Red: A programming language inspired by REBOL
whoops, you are right, i missed that detail: https://github.com/red/red/issues/3412#issuecomment-39593686...
i am watching red on the sidelines as i am waiting for it to become usable for my interests, so i am not tracking every detail.
though i'd appreciate if you could use a less adversarial and demanding attitude. this is not appropriate for a Free Software and Open Source project, and it only serves to annoy the developers which reduces their motivation to work on the project.
your complaints, even if they were acceptable, won't help your cause. at best they will be ignored. at worst they will slow progress down as developers are less motivated.
it has been explained that the current compiler is not the final version, and as such, speedy static builds are simply not a development goal. and they should not be, because the goal is to rebuild the compiler, at which point this issue may be addressed if it is important enough. when that happens, then it is time to make a case for static builds. until then things will go faster if you could stay out of the developers ways.

Zig, Rust, and Other Languages
There's also Odin[0] too. I tried using them all and Odin was pretty nice. Nim is also good too but a lot more features.
But - I concluded that language matters a lot less compared to APIs. Yes, the language should have enough good features to let the programmers express themselves, but overall well designed APIs matter a lot more than language. For example -tossing most of the C stdlib and following a consistent coding style (similar to one described here -[1]), with using Arenas for memory allocation, I can be just as productive in C.

Odin Programming Language
I highly recommend looking at:
* The Overview: <https://odin-lang.org/docs/overview/>
* examples/demo: <https://github.com/odin-lang/Odin/blob/master/examples/demo/...>
As for the first example: a basic lexing example is probably boring, but it does show some basic ideas of what the language is about. If people want to write better examples or just reorder the current ones, please feel free to make an issue or PR on the website's GitHub page: <https://github.com/odin-lang/odin-lang.org>.

Download Odin and get started today! Includes binding to popular video game libraries
Get it from the website: https://odin-lang.org/ -- Odin includes bindings to popular gamedev libraries & APIs such as Raylib, SDL, DirectX, OpenGL and Vulkan.
- Check this odin file out for a demo of many of the language's features. It comes with the compiler inside the examples folder. I refer to it all the time when I need to figure out how to do something.
What are some alternatives?
nelua-lang - Minimal, efficient, statically-typed and meta-programmable systems programming language heavily inspired by Lua, which compiles to C and native code.
zig - General-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal, and reusable software.
Rebol3 - Source code for the Rebol [R3] interpreter
v - Simple, fast, safe, compiled language for developing maintainable software. Compiles itself in <1s with zero library dependencies. Supports automatic C => V translation. https://vlang.io
mint-lang - :leaves: A refreshing programming language for the front-end web
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).
ol - Otus Lisp (Ol in short) is a purely* functional dialect of Lisp.
rust - Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.
