The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
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.

Any Ideas for strategies to find jobs with lisp?
ClojureScript? Urlang ?

Whalesong: A Racket to JavaScript Compiler
If you're interested in JavaScript on Racket, also please check out Urlang: https://github.com/soegaard/urlang/tree/master
It's not a Racket to JavaScript compiler, but rather let's you write JavaScript using Lisp syntax... and macros!
Very pleasant to work with. For a "real world" worked example, I used it to write a small game: https://oofoe.itch.io/qube-cat
- So you want to design a programming language?

Why does Racket have Type-Maps instead of Just a Single Map?
See related post. The dot operator in Rhombus will allow a function call like expr.map(…) to be statically specialized to Some.map(expr, …) provided that expr carries sufficient static information. This isn’t possible in Racket given the lack of static information in general.

Multiple namespaces?
Racket has the concept of binding space built on top of the scope-set model. The experiment language Rhombus makes heavy use of this for contextual bindings. Note that bindings are used for language extensions among other purposes in Racket.

Generalized and first-class macros: what is this called?
The notion of “tail sequence” in general doesn’t exist in Lisp’s macro-expansion model, since Lisp macros are strictly local transformations. A “tail sequence” allows a macro to control the expansion of the whole context, which requires wrapping the whole context in another macro in Lisp’s model. This is what leads to proposals like #%local-definition in Racket. However, this notion does exist in the enforestation model, which is what the experiment language Rhombus is based on, although it’s probably not quite a Lisp ;)

Anyone else concerned that Rhombus/Racket2 is not a lisp based language?
Rhombus is: - just another #lang. It is built on top of the existing Racket VM and written in Racket. It interoperates with existing Racket code and uses the Racket expander. - macro extendable. Hygiene and all of the good stuff work. - being developed in the open. We meet biweekly over Zoom, and discussions also occur in GitHub Discussions.
- Anyone aware of Racket projects that are in need of contributors? I am experienced in PL design and have two months worth of spare time. I have never contributed to an opensource project before besides taureg.

Racket->Rhombus: To Sexp or not to Sexp?
Querying Git references for rhombus-prototype at https://github.com/racket/rhombus-prototype.git Using cached16617263581661726358301 for https://github.com/racket/rhombus-prototype.git DrRacket install: version mismatch for dependency for package: https://github.com/racket/rhombus-prototype.git mismatch packages: base (have 8.6, need 8.6.0.9)
Instead of hoping, you might consider reading the discussions to see what the developers are actually saying. Just a thought.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing urlang and rhombus-prototype you can also consider the following projects:
SinScheme - Sinister's Scheme Compiler!
swi-mqtt-pack - MQTT pack for SWI-Prolog
rackt - An ultrasmall (~70 loc) React wrapper written in RacketScript
SmalltalkVimMode - Vim Mode for Playground, System Browser, Debugger in Pharo.
racket-llvm - racket llvm C-API bindings
gerbil - Gerbil Scheme
sham - A DSL for runtime code generation in racket
racketscript - Racket to JavaScript Compiler
racket-mode - Emacs major and minor modes for Racket: edit, REPL, check-syntax, debug, profile, and more.
conjure - Interactive evaluation for Neovim (Clojure, Fennel, Janet, Racket, Hy, MIT Scheme, Guile, Python and more!)
inspector - Turn Clojure specs into clj-kondo type annotations
