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.

Why Lisp? (2015)
Because that product was an embedded system running on a very small SoC. It only had 1MB of flash and 192k of SRAM. It's theoretically possible to run CL on a system that small -- Coral Common Lisp ran on a Mac Plus with 1MB of RAM back in the 1980s -- but nothing off-the-shelf will do that today.
(I did, however, put a little Scheme interpreter on it as an easter egg :-)
I do have some CL code that supports the crypto project. The back-end for this:
https://stage.sc4.us/sc4/sc4tk.html
is written in CL (though all the actual encryption is done client-side in Javascript). I also have some prototype crypto code that I don't really use for anything, including this double-ratchet implementation:
https://github.com/rongarret/tweetnacl/blob/master/ratchet.l...
and some elliptic curve code:

Teaching Compilers Backward
Of course. There are many. Any binary format. Any ASN.1 format. DEF and LEF for hardware descriptions. The output of mysqldump.
Here's another example:
https://github.com/rongarret/tweetnacl/blob/master/ratchet.l...
starting at line 82. (That's one that I designed.)

It also gives you access to Babashka if you want Clojure for other use-cases where start-up time is an issue

What's the value proposition of meta circular interpreters?
I've tried researching this myself and can't find too much. There's this project metaes which is an mci for JS, and there's the SCI module of the Clojure babashka project, but that's about it. I also saw Triska's video on mci but it was pretty theoretical.

Adding Dependencies on Clojure Project the Node Way: A Small Intro to neil CLI
Created by the same guy who created babashka which is a way to write bash scripts, node scripts, and even apple scripts using Clojure. A very proficient and influential developer in the Clojure community. This is how borkduke's neil helps us:

Not what you asked for but there is Babashka for scripting in Clojure.

Critique of Lazy Sequences in Clojure
Clojure's lazy sequences by default are wonderful ergonomically, but it provides many ways to use strict evaluation if you want to. They aren't really a hassle either. I've been doing Clojure for the last few years and have a few grievances, but overall it's the most coherent, well thought out language I've used and I can't recommend it enough.
There is the issue of startup time with the JVM, but you can also do AOT compilation now so that really isn't a problem. Here are some other cool projects to look at if you're interested:

Sharpscript: Lisp for Scripting
Being a Clojure addict, I guess I have to leave the obligatory link to Babashka too then: https://github.com/babashka/babashka (Native, fast starting Clojure interpreter for scripting)

Are there any languages (that are in common use in companies) and higher-level that give you the same feeling of simplicity and standardization as C?
I've enjoyed babashka for scripting; which is close enough to clojure to allow using some/many libraries; but (probably) not for embedding.
What are some alternatives?
LoopVectorization.jl - Macro(s) for vectorizing loops.
janet - A dynamic language and bytecode vm
cl4py - Common Lisp for Python
malli - High-performance data-driven data specification library for Clojure/Script.
lang
joker - Small Clojure interpreter, linter and formatter.
awesome-compilers - :sunglasses: Curated list of awesome resources on Compilers, Interpreters and Runtimes
nbb - Scripting in Clojure on Node.js using SCI
hissp - It's Python with a Lissp.
clojure-lsp - Clojure & ClojureScript Language Server (LSP) implementation
aws-api - AWS, data driven
racket - The Racket repository
