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.

Using other languages
There's many different languages that can compile to Lua: - TypeScript is probably the most well-known and most compatible language for Lua. The TypeScriptToLua compiler lets you compile TypeScript code into Lua with a mostly 1:1 conversion. You can use the @jackmacwindows/craftos-types and @jackmacwindows/cc-types NPM packages to add typing declarations for CraftOS APIs and modules. Alternatively, use my template repo for a more ready-to-go setup. - Haxe was built with compilation to Lua in mind, and so you can write code for it and have it run just fine in CC. There's some declarations for it available online, and I also have my own typing set for it (which I should really upload somewhere - DM me if you want it for now). - C# can also compile to Lua, but it's a bit tough to get working right in CC, as it has a huge default library and abuses the global table in a way that CC has trouble with. However, it's possible to use, and I've gotten it working in the past (unfortunately, I don't know how anymore). - Urn is a Lisp dialect that was built by two CC devs and was designed to run in CC. However, I wouldn't recommend it unless you're good with functional programming.

C-Lisp Implementations for microcontrollers?
Also, if the microcontroller you're working with is an ESP32 chip, you may be able to use use one of the lisp-to-Lua transpiled languages (urn or fennel) with something like Lua RTOS or NodeMCU. Not entirely sure how well this works in practice, but in theory it should be possible. Of the two, Fennel's probably more likely to behave well when used like this because it's more like a thin translation layer on top of Lua, but Urn's probably going to feel more comfortable to use because it feels like this weird mix of CL and Racket design.

Trying Fennel for GTK apps and it's surprisingly good
I don't know how much of reloading you need. I did something like that many moons ago. See here: https://github.com/SquidDev/urn/issues/12

Is there a free course on YouTube that could help a beginner make GUIs?
If you want to use GTK (works on Linux/Window/Mac, default for Gnome desktop), you will need to use LGI-module (https://github.com/lgi-devs/lgi).

Trying Fennel for GTK apps and it's surprisingly good
I'm using LGI, they're Gtk bindings based on GObject Introspection (A middleware to communicate with GLib-based libraries dynamically) meaning that they can access without hand-writed code to all the GLib-based libraries even if they were written in other languages like Vala, C, C++ or Rust.

How to send an external signal to Widget
Alternatively, awesome is build on top of lgi which exposes GLib objects introspection. It means you can reach in your lua code some objects/services exposed through GLib. https://github.com/pavouk/lgi

Can't build Awesome from source
This is because many people who tried to build from source had problems. LGI, one of awesome's dependencies, currently hardcodes the package search path used by Lua 5.1. Part of the reason for this is that Lua upstream intends Lua to be embedded, which means that detecting an installed Lua version properly is not easy.
