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.

Learning Clojure made me return back to C/C++
Thanks for taking the time to provide a detailed response. Need to think on this. I had actually started a regular Clojure parser using LLVM as a hobby, but then my friend said it was better to implement this in a safe-memory and. save-concurrency language like Rust and leverage cranelift for code generation. So, now I am learning rust, lol. (Btw, Rust has a persistent data structures lib too: https://github.com/orium/rpds )

Babashka: Fast native Clojure scripting runtime
I like Clojure, but I never had any good opportunities to use it other than for a few small hobby projects. It is unfortunate that it is so huge with tons of dependencies and no simpler native implementation. I started looking at various LISPs and Schemes to find something lighter to use instead and ended up settling for Janet that I think is Clojure-like enough to be comfortable to use, but in a small native binary with no dependencies and can be embedded in other native programs. I am sure for big, real, projects that Clojure makes more sense, but for my hobby projects and scripts I do not think I will install it again. I am still happy for the things I learned from learning Clojure. It was a real eye-opener for an old OO-programmer.

One might also check out Janet for quick scripting tasks.

Red Programming Language
Thanks!
I thought about another multiplatform, homoiconic, highly compact language: https://janet-lang.org/ (takes 803 kb on my machine).
It has no types though.

Systems Programming with Racket
Racket is great, and if you like it you might find Rash interesting:
Janet and Gerbil Scheme are also worth a look:

fe: A tiny, embeddable language implemented in ANSI C
If this project interests you but is a bit more minimal than you need, the Janet language is a slightly-less but still pretty lightweight embeddable Lisp with a strong library and community: https://janet-lang.org/

Sharing Saturday #461
Scripting language of choice for WWWW became Janet. Technically, it's Lisp. Raw Lisp still adds plenty of overhead, making it not much better than JSON. That's when WDL was born.
