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.

Tcl was historically very slow compared to, for example, Perl. Especially for synthetic benchmarks. However, since it's so easy to interop with C, it didn't seem to matter much in the real world. You just put anything performance sensitive in C and left the bits that didn't matter in tcl. Some benchmarks: https://github.com/trizen/language-benchmarks

Lil: A Scripting Language
To clarify for others who only follow the link titles, this is not the Tcl-inspired scripting language Lil[1] nor the other Tcl-inspired, C-clothes-wearing Little[2].

Ask HN: Which tech stack is the most pleasurable?
This is great! I write a lot of one-off utilities that run on my main desktop as web applications backed by sqlite so you're really speaking my language here!
I enjoyed the little bit of exposure that I had to Tcl/Tk through EXPECT, I used to write a lot of embedded test scaffolding using it back in the 00s. I've also been interested in checking out Little Language [0].
Wapp looks like a great place to start with Tcl.

Little: a statically typed, C-like scripting language.
The last public commit on their GitHub repository was in 2016, so you're probably right, though it's possible there's still internal development. The commit history seems to imply that they have a separate, internal repository that they occasionally sync with the GitHub repo.

The repo is odd, it's hard to tell where the actual little-lang code is. I guess it's in the tclXXX directory?
