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.

Ravi is a dialect of Lua, with JIT and AOT compilers
it's based off MIR, does it have something to do with https://mlir.llvm.org/ ?
for typed lua, there is another effort https://github.com/teal-language/tl in addition to the mentioned typescript approach: https://github.com/andremm/typedlua

Lua Criticism Is Unwarranted
I had the pleasure of working with Lua 5.1 back in the late noughties. For me it's replaced Tcl whenever I want something I can configure above a C library. At the time I used it I found it quite nice but I'll also not forget the hours I wasted tracking down nil table corruptions which could have easily been caught by a type checker.
I had some hope that Luau https://luau-lang.org or Teal https://github.com/teal-language/tl would make things better but with the following example
function foo(x: number): string
- Why Fennel?

Algebraic data types in Lua (Almost) post
I wonder why the author doesn't use Teal [0] - a typed dialect of lua.

What's the deal with Fennel in Neovim?
There is already https://github.com/teal-language/tl, which is typed Lua. I think fennel exists to serve a different niche-- personally I use it not for any type features; I just like the syntax better, and others may find certain features like the macro system useful.

Using other languages
There's also some languages made to compile straight to Lua: - MoonScript is the most popular Lua wrapper - it's built to be more Python-like, featuring indentation-based scopes, function calls without parentheses, lambda syntax, list comprehension, and much more. - Yuescript is a modern update to MoonScript that adds more features (I haven't used it myself, so I'm not entirely sure exactly how it differs from MS). - Teal is a version of Lua that adds static typing for better code standards.

Bog – small, strongly typed, embeddable language
Terra and Nelua are both very different in goals than Teal. Teal is literally gradual types integrated into Lua keeping as many of Lua's idioms as possible (to a fault[1]). Terra and Nelua are both very metaprogrammable systems programming languages. Nelua's goals are primarily to soften C's rough edges, comparable to something like Nim.
There's another one you missed in Pallene[2]. But again, it's goal was to optimize the stack sharing involved in using the C API. It also adds types though and maintains Lua idioms as much as possible.

Lua has been a real eye opener for this Java dev
If you Like Lua's syntax and you wish you could achieve C speeds and have the metaprogramming ability of Java (Generics), by all means try https://nelua.io/ , you won't regret it!
- Minimal, simple, efficient, statically typed, compiled, metaprogrammable, safe, and extensible systems programming language

Pixelhopper: Tiny animated GIF player in C, with seeking, pause, etc (Linux x11 only, for now)
I should be uploading the code sometime this week, by the way. I'm looking for a way to bundle the code (which is written in Nelua) in a single C file, so anyone can build it without having to install all of the language and the dependencies.

Is it possible to make an OS in Lua?
You could probably write a kernel in Nelua or Luau, though I don't know of any efforts to do so.

Nelua, AOT statically typed Lua
I already asked this question exactly 2 years ago: https://github.com/edubart/nelua-lang/discussions/51
What are some alternatives?
luau - A fast, small, safe, gradually typed embeddable scripting language derived from Lua
terra - Terra is a low-level system programming language that is embedded in and meta-programmed by the Lua programming language.
OpenBBTerminal - Investment Research for Everyone, Everywhere.
LuaJIT - Mirror of the LuaJIT git repository
packer.nvim - A use-package inspired plugin manager for Neovim. Uses native packages, supports Luarocks dependencies, written in Lua, allows for expressive config
moonscript - :crescent_moon: A language that compiles to Lua
rpi-open-firmware - Open source VPU side bootloader for Raspberry Pi.
godot-lua-pluginscript - Godot PluginScript for the Lua language, currently based on LuaJIT's FFI
luaforwindows - Lua for Windows is a 'batteries included environment' for the Lua scripting language on Windows. NOTICE: Looking for maintainer.
red - Red is a next-generation programming language strongly inspired by Rebol, but with a broader field of usage thanks to its native-code compiler, from system programming to high-level scripting and cross-platform reactive GUI, while providing modern support for concurrency, all in a zero-install, zero-config, single ~1MB file!
