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.

My idea to achieve "lisp without so many parentheses"
The Racket team has been embarking on the Rhombus project with something they're calling shrubbery notation. The most recent Racket Con (https://con.racket-lang.org/) has several presentations on the topic, and there's a GitHub repo (https://github.com/racket/rhombus-brainstorming) tracking discussion. For what it's worth, I strongly dislike the heavy use of : in this notation.

What drew you to Racket?
Once you become a skeptic, other warts began to appear such as the culture (1,2) of the language and one of the active academic members putting a lot of effort into changing the syntax. I concluded that I might as well spend my time just learning common lisp as then I might have a tool I could use. Everything is old in common lisp, and I am coming to recognize that as a good thing. Re-inventing the wheel is not always useful, and a few libraries that everyone uses means they probably function and build.

Thoughts on Lisp and Racket
Matthew has been working on a [prototype](https://github.com/racket/rhombus-brainstorming/pull/163) that works on the current snapshot version of Racket.
It is possible to use to write some basic things and most existing Racket libraries are usable with the prototype.

There were a bunch of approaches and even implemented languages.
