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 makes a language easy for writing a parser?
LISP has a very simple and consistent syntax, so much so that a basic interpreter can be done in only 99 lines of C.
-
Function overloading - Surprise!
I needed a scripting language for an old-school Sierra On-Line adventure game engine I'm working on and was looking at learning writing simple compilers / interpreters, when I stumbled across tinylisp and realized it was exactly what I needed.

Writing a lisp
Tinylisp can be a good starting point. The writeup explains how it works and how to add more features.
-
C/C++/Rust developers, what kind of projects you work on?
I've been on a bit of a retro-coding binge lately, using SDL2 for screen, I/O, and audio. For one project I replicated an NES-style sprite engine and a phase-modulated synthesizer for audio, but right now I'm currently porting tinylisp over to C++ for use in an old-school Sierra-style adventure game engine as the scripting language.

Microcontroller-based Lisp machine (minimum language needed)?
Lately, we run Robert van Engelen's 1k Lisp on ESP32 and 8266 boards: https://github.com/Robert-van-Engelen/lisp but we started on his tiny Lisp: https://github.com/Robert-van-Engelen/tinylisp (which is 99 lines of C)

Have you made or plan to make any contributions to Mezzano (https://github.com/froggey/Mezzano) or are you mainly interested in seeing how far you can take this thing on your own?
- Ask HN: What are some of the most elegant codebases in your favorite language?

Why Lisp?
>> except building compilers and OSes
SBCL is written in Lisp, yes? Except the runtime, which is C + asm.
I've heard people wrote some OSes in the past, like Genera. Or if you prefer recent attempt, try https://github.com/froggey/Mezzano. Never tried it, though.
-
Help needed - new programming language
No need to.
-
Dynamic, JIT-compiled language for systems programming?
Not at all. See mezzano for a notable recent example of an OS written entirely in a dynamic language.
-
What help is needed for Lisp community in order to make Lisp more popular?
So..
"Why do you want to make Lisp more popular? If you were sucessful, what would be different in the world, and why is that desirable to you?"
Normally at this point I'd listen to the response, and ask more questions based on that. That would wind up with a very, very deep thread, so I'll break a cardinal rule and pre-guess at some answers.
This kind of question comes up pretty frequently. In many cases, I suspect the motivation behind the question is "Wow! Here's this cool tool I've discovered. I want to make something really useful with it. I want to do it as part of a community effort; share my excitement with others, share in their excitement, and know that what I'm making is useful because others find it desirable and are excited by it." The field could be cooking, sports, old machine tools, tiny homes, or demo scene. Its the fundemental driver for most content on HN, YouTube, Instructables, and such. It is a Good Thing.
If that is your motivator, then my suggestion is to find something that bugs you and fix it. You've already decided you're only interested in code, not other aspects. You said you preferred vim, but the emacs ecosystem has a very rich set of sharp edges that need filing off, and a rich set of tools with which to attack them.
One example: even after 50 years there's no open IDE which allows you to easily globally rename a Lisp identifier. I don't know about LispWorks or other proprietary environments, but you can't in emacs or vim do a right-click on "foo" in "(defun foo ()...)" and select a command which automatically renames it in all invocations. [Queue lots of "but you can..." replies here.] I don't think vim is up to the task of doing this internally. It would be possible in emacs; but would require a huge effort with lots of help from other people. If you emerged alive from that rabbit warren you'd join the company of Certified "How Hard Could it Be?" Mad Scientists such as Dr. "I just want to draw molecules" Meister [1] and "Wouldn't an OS in Lisp be Cool" Froggey [2].

Emacs should become a Wayland compositor
You might want to look at Mezzano which is an operation system written in Common Lisp https://github.com/froggey/Mezzano
I haven’t tried it since moving to M1/ARM, but it is cool.
- are there emacs machines?
