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.

Lisp Badge LE
I love his projects too. He's also the creator of uLisp.

Lisp in Space
Not CL, but there is ulisp (http://www.ulisp.com/) for microcontrollers, supposed to be really tiny, and there is Carp (https://github.com/carp-lang/Carp) which is without a GC so seems suitable for real-time stuff.

fe: A tiny, embeddable language implemented in ANSI C
There's also ulisp (for Arduino projects etc.): http://www.ulisp.com/
This is larger, because there are functions for accessing peripherals, and the core is more standard lispy with 'caadr' et.al., and it has a compacting GC, so images can be saved as a compact blob.
- ¿Any interpreted lenguage working in low memory microcontrollers?

Anyone tried to run ECL on a Pi Pico?
You might consider uLisp, it's very Common Lispy for the memory constraints given (sans macros and splicing quote). And you can still connect to it and save an image. I've tried it and it works well enough. Here is the homepage.

What do you think of Forth?
Agreed - the interactivity is good. Lisp is close (have you seen http://www.ulisp.com/ - I can't believe they got into into that small a target!). Python is ok, but for some reason I don't use the REPL in the same way I do in Forth - I think calling functions is just harder somehow. Mostly is exploring valves from the Python REPL.

Ferret: A functional, lazy language for realtime embedded control systems
Seems like there has been no development since 2020 - https://github.com/nakkaya/ferret

Literate programming: Knuth is doing it wrong
The whole of ferret's source code is in a single org-mode file, following the literate programming style: https://github.com/nakkaya/ferret/blob/master/ferret.org

Learning Clojure made me return back to C/C++
fyi there's some middle ground via ferret if you want to mix the two in the future. I think janet lang is more full featured, borrowing ideas from clojure while targeting simple embedding alongside c.

uLisp
Another commenter already mentioned Gambit Scheme. That provides for inline C and therefore very easy interop with external libraries. It still has a runtime and GC though - those might pose a problem depending on your platform and task.
Ferret (https://github.com/nakkaya/ferret) and Carp (https://github.com/carp-lang/Carp) are both Lisp-like low level languages. Both seem to be fairly experimental in nature though.
> anything but C
Taking you literally, Rust and D can both compile for bare metal. D in particular has a "Better C" subset. (https://dlang.org/spec/betterc.html)
In the same vein, Terra is a C like language (manual memory management) that you metaprogram with Lua. (https://github.com/terralang/terra)
Taking you very literally, Forth is also an option.

Writing a whole program in Org Mode
Impressive. Wonder how the performance in Emacs will be with a file this big... org source file
What are some alternatives?
