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.

Velato: A programming language where source code must be a valid MIDI music file
Interesting!
Similar note-based expression can be found on TidalCycles/Strudel. although it's not valid MIDI format anymore, you can use notation like c4, f3, and make them as "pattern". Samples are also supported in the same manner:

And in my project Glicol, I use only numbers in the seq node. So 60 means middle C. Underscore means rest.

Opusmodus: Common Lisp Music Composition System
TidalCycles doesn't. And you can try it online without installing anything.

Try evaluating `d1 $ s "bd sn"` to get a bass drum-snare drum rhythm going. Then `d1 $ s "bd*2 sn"` to kick the bass drum twice each loop instead of once. It can be extremely intuitive.

Tidal Cycles – Live coding music with Algorithmic patterns
An easy way to experiment with this is via Strudel[1], a JS port that plays in-browser (annoyingly, works better with Chrome than Safari.)

I made a command-line tool to assist me with writing polyrhythmic drum parts
It's recently gotten a great deal easier to play with thanks to Strudel, a JS variant.
Strudel REPL: https://strudel.tidalcycles.org/
One interesting feature of Tidalcycles is Euclidean Sequences, where various 'natural' ways of distributing X notes over Y durations are easily expressed:

How to start into coding generative music
It has a modular design so you can pick together different pieces to build into your project, if you're happy with AGPL: https://github.com/tidalcycles/strudel/

13 Years of History Teaching - Now Thrown Into CS.
So you’re wondering what would making music with code look like? The tools I’m familiar with are TidalCycles, Sonic Pi, and SuperCollider. I’m having a hard time describing what it’s like to make music with tools like these so here’s a video of a performance. One person is live coding the music and the other is live coding the visuals. I think it’s super cool how the music is improvised and built over time by layering commands. Some keywords you could search to see more examples would be Algorave and Livecoding.

Where is Haskell used?
https://tidalcycles.org/ is another great example, parsing patterns of text and printing live music.

Live coding languages
For sound live coding/algorave sonic pi and tidal cycles are great, both based on supercollider.

Sonic Pi – The Live Coding Music Synth for Everyone
I don't know the alternatives but I'm a big fan of https://tidalcycles.org/. People really do crazy things, check out the videos on the front page.
I love when 2 DJs live-code together (on the same document! Editing each other's loops) or when a VJ live-codes some visuals in reaction to the DJ live-coding the music.

What is a little known subject/application/problem that you learned about recently or are involved in that you think is fascinating?
If you're interested in ChuCK, there's also Pure Data (a FOSS cousin of the commercial Max/MSP) and SuperCollider and a lot of live coding algorave sorta music things are built on top of SuperCollider like TidalCycles so you can execute lines of code live via a REPL or evaluating blocks of code in a document and generate beats in realtime.

The Way in Which Brian Eno Created Ambient 1: Music for Airports
Tidal Cycles! https://tidalcycles.org/
As layer8 mentioned, it is technically Haskell but more specifically a DSL and environment for live coding music.
Pretty fun to play around with!

How would someone who is deathly broke become a serious rapper?
After digging deeper, I've found TidalCycles tidalcycles.org and that's my favorite Livecoding software. Now you can start programming music without any cost.
