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.

The Python VM will switch to computed goto if it's available on the C compiler.

Writing a minimal Lua implementation with a virtual machine from scratch in Rust
You have to call the function. This adds a new stack frame, which then is closed when the function concludes. I posted a benchmark of various techniques of VM implementation here today. Just calling the function will always be the slowest due to the work the processor has to do for each instruction.

Basically, you're better off with a massive switch statement, even if it's ugly in terms of program organization.

Lua: The Little Language That Could
There's Lua implementation [1] in pure Rust, by the way.

Do Rust and Lua work well together?
The rust ecosystem is doubling down on wasm with little to no focus on lua (some would even prefer to build their own programming language) that doesn’t mean lua is pretty bad for the rust ecosystem it’s just that there’s no much focus as to compared to wasm Example I noticed is https://github.com/kyren/luster

Scripting Languages of the Future
Tossing my hat in for Passerine [1]. Gorgeous ML inspired syntax. Built for scripting Rust applications.
Dreaming here: Lua is a fantastic scripting language, but the Rust FFI isn’t as ergonomic as it could be. Enter Luster [2], which is basically LuaJIT rewritten in Rust.
Embedding a scripting language in a Rust application gives you tons of power (e.g. scripting Rust structs from Lua [3]), and setting this up isn’t terribly difficult.
