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.

Given how powerful Emacs is and how important it has been for my computing over the past four decades, I think it would be more useful to me for people to label all non-emacs articles [Not Emacs]
you might want to check remacs, a rewrite of emacs in Rust.

What would you rewrite in Rust?
Emacs. There's Remacs… well, there was Remacs. It seems the project has fizzled out.

How do the neovim plugins for OrgMode and Magit compare with the real thing?
Yeah most likely they won't mature at all. Many of the emacs-ng folks were doing an incremental Rust rewrite called Remacs before abandoning that. It's great to see these people having fun, but I wouldn't bet on them to be around in the long term.

Emacs as a universal front-end interface
There are alternative Emacs-like editors implemented in better languages like Common Lisp like Climacs which seem to be no longer maintained, there have been attempts at rewriting Emacs in Guile Scheme like Guile Emacs which have fizzled out, there are more recent attempts at implementing Emacs in Rust which isn't even a Lisp. I am really hoping Guile Emacs or Climacs see a resurrection, that or some other Lisp-based Emacs clone comes along that manages to supplant GNU Emacs. If more people would put efforts into projects like these, Emacs as a platform would be so much better than something like Electron.

I Accidentally a Scheme
I accidentally a Common Lisp that interoperates with C++ (https://github.com/clasp-developers/clasp.git). We would also like to move beyond BDWGC and Whiffle looks interesting. I will reach out to you and maybe we can chat about it.

Proof of Concept clang plugin that automatically binds C/C++ -> Lua
Sounds to me like CLASP; it automatically exports C++ objects to be used from Common Lisp also via llvm.

Running Lisp in production @ grammarly
Now, the difference of compiling speed of SBCL and CCL is not so big. Look at cl-benchmark, LispWorks is really fast, CCL is on par with Allegro, SBCL is close to CCL. Or https://github.com/clasp-developers/clasp/wiki/Relative-Compile-Performance-of-clasp, it depends on specific project (SBCL sometimes faster, slower, alike), overall difference is not big.

What help is needed for Lisp community in order to make Lisp more popular?
So..
"Why do you want to make Lisp more popular? If you were sucessful, what would be different in the world, and why is that desirable to you?"
Normally at this point I'd listen to the response, and ask more questions based on that. That would wind up with a very, very deep thread, so I'll break a cardinal rule and pre-guess at some answers.
This kind of question comes up pretty frequently. In many cases, I suspect the motivation behind the question is "Wow! Here's this cool tool I've discovered. I want to make something really useful with it. I want to do it as part of a community effort; share my excitement with others, share in their excitement, and know that what I'm making is useful because others find it desirable and are excited by it." The field could be cooking, sports, old machine tools, tiny homes, or demo scene. Its the fundemental driver for most content on HN, YouTube, Instructables, and such. It is a Good Thing.
If that is your motivator, then my suggestion is to find something that bugs you and fix it. You've already decided you're only interested in code, not other aspects. You said you preferred vim, but the emacs ecosystem has a very rich set of sharp edges that need filing off, and a rich set of tools with which to attack them.
One example: even after 50 years there's no open IDE which allows you to easily globally rename a Lisp identifier. I don't know about LispWorks or other proprietary environments, but you can't in emacs or vim do a right-click on "foo" in "(defun foo ()...)" and select a command which automatically renames it in all invocations. [Queue lots of "but you can..." replies here.] I don't think vim is up to the task of doing this internally. It would be possible in emacs; but would require a huge effort with lots of help from other people. If you emerged alive from that rabbit warren you'd join the company of Certified "How Hard Could it Be?" Mad Scientists such as Dr. "I just want to draw molecules" Meister [1] and "Wouldn't an OS in Lisp be Cool" Froggey [2].

Linux Kernel 6.1 Released with Initial Rust Code
But also, there's a reason why most implementations readily make an effort to provide interoperability tools with a variety of runtimes. Clasp much like ABCL gives access to a whole library of other libraries trivially wrapped to interoperate with at little to no performance to cost (depending on how thin you make the wrappers, mainly).
