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.

Fourteen Years of Go
> I'm not sure here how you differentiate minimalist from restrictive.
The flexibility of the language and its syntax. The more constructs are syntactic, the less minimalistic it is, and Go is a very syntactic language.
> I've always considered Go to be minimalist in terms of available tokens to the programmer: https://github.com/e3b0c442/keywords/blob/main/chart.png
No language on this chart has even a passing resemblance to minimalistic. I don't think anything does when it reaches double digit keywords.
For reference, I believe Smalltalk has 6.
And forth is more complicated because it doesn't really have keywords at all, and barely any syntax, instead it has assembly-coded / runtime-provided words (~functions) and variables. SectorForth (https://github.com/cesarblum/sectorforth/) is down to 8 builtin words, 2 IO words, and 5 variables (milliforth packs those behind a word instead). And so far 2 of the words have been found unnecessary / redundant.

Interesting Article About a C compiler in 512 bytes That Uses Forth Inspired Tricks to Fit an Extremely Tight Space Constraint
Probably well known, but I'll let it here anyway: SectorForth
- Ask HN: What are some impressive software projects that fit in 512 bytes?

That's pretty much it!

A Forth bootable by old 386 PCs?
If you want to go allll the way down to the metal, you could put https://github.com/cesarblum/sectorforth in a floppy boot sector and then work your way up from there, enabling line A20 and switching into 32-bit protected mode yourself. Certainly on the "DIY" end of the spectrum, but it sure would be satisfying.

Demo of a WAM Prolog Implementation in Python
If you're interested in implementing languages in Python, I've been enjoying watching the development of Porth[0], a stack-based, forth-like* language on Twitch.
* See readme disclaimer that there's no actual connection to Forth other than the stack-based design.
