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.

What do Haskellers think about Rust?
Immutable data structures don't necessarily require more memory: they can avoid deep copies. They are also automatically thread safe without expensive (slow) locking mechanisms. They also don't necessarily reduce cache locality. The reduced cache locality in the case of Haskell (I think) mainly comes from the representation of objects in its implementation (improved STG) which uses extensive boxing and jumps that hinder both spatial and temporal locality (require review/comment from GHC/Computer Architecture experts, take it with a grain of salt). Objects can be much more efficiently represented if not for the need to implement lazy (call-by-need) semantics. See sixten and futhark for examples.

Tree Sitter and the Complications of Parsing Languages
I can't answer this well and don't know of any resources, but I have seen it before in the parser for sixten:

What languages have bit struct / field constructs?
Sixten is a language that allows precise control over memory layout of algebraic data types.
-
Designing a language where all types are memcpy/blittable.
For something more peripherally related, check out Sixten. Its focus is on using unboxed value representations, which is in spirit close to what you are proposing, and some of its ideas might be good inspiration.

Graydon Hoare: Batten Down Fix Later
Have you had a look at Ante? It looks a lot like a Rust 2.0 with better ergonomics. There are a lot of interesting ideas.

Why is there no simple C-like functional programming language?
Ante is what you are looking for. It's an ML descendant with no RTS nor AGC.

Cell Lang: Why yet another programming language?
In my experience, people believe that programming languages are a solved space, and we should stick with what we have.
It's unfortunate; because languages are very polarized today. I think there's a lot of room for languages that are safe, fast, and most importantly, *easy.* Today's languages are generally two out of three.
Luckily, a lot of languages are exploring that space!
* Vale is blending generational references with regions, to have memory-safe single ownership without garbage collection or a borrow checker. [0]
* Cone is adding a borrow checker on top of GC, RC, single ownership, and even custom user allocators. [1]
* Lobster found a way to add borrow-checker-like static analysis to reference counting. [2]
* HVM is using borrowing and cloning under the hood to make pure functional programming ridiculously fast. [3]
* Ante is using lifetime inference and algebraic effects to make programs faster and more flexible. [4]
* D is adding a borrow checker!
