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.

Steel Bank Common Lisp
> both are dynamic languages with types added later in?
Common Lisp has always had types and type declarations (e.g. `the` in the hyperspec[1]) as it's part of the specification. It was not added later as far as I know.
However, `declaim` and `declare` were left very underspecified so they tend to be very implementation-specific, though there are libraries that make types more portable[2][3].

LISP as a learning tool
From python in lisp I want the convenience for quick scripting, which lisp doesn't have by default but of course it can be added. For example for let's you easily iterate over lines of a file or files in a directory, or anything else you add. serapeum add's convenient syntax for hashmaps (dict and @), and threading macro and plenty of utility functions, defclass-std does the boilerplate of :initarg and :accessor for you for the common cases of class declarations.

Compile-time exhaustiveness checking in Common Lisp with Serapeum
Serapeum is an excellent CL library, with lots of utilities. You should check it out. It provides a case-like macro, to use on enums, that warns you at compile-time if you handle all the states of that enum.

looking for Advent of Code Tips
Since Alexandria was mentioned may I mention Serapeum as well. Don't know if it's needed for AoC but it may be worth a look. Serapeum seems to get not enough mentions/ attention IMO.

Common Lisp intermediate book recommendation
Re: libraries; I'd like to mention serapeum which contains a ton of general purpose utilities.

SICL: A New Common Lisp Implementation
I consider Serapeum to be a revamp of the Common Lisp standard: https://github.com/ruricolist/serapeum/blob/master/REFERENCE.... This provides a bunch of new features and idioms including ideas borrowed from newer languages like Clojure.
Great example of "growing a language" as a long-term evolutionary process that doesn't require changing earlier specifications in incompatible ways.
