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.

Six years of professional Clojure development
I actually did build something basic following the book Web Development With Clojure (https://github.com/jumarko/web-development-with-clojure), but honestly the way the code snippets were presented in the book were sometimes difficult to use if trying to follow along and build it yourself.
I think you could probably get code from different chapters from their git repo, but then you're not doing it yourself - you are instead trying to read diffs to understand what's new and figure out why it has been changed.
My experience has been that there is no complete guide, tutorial, or example that is kept current and provides every detail such that you can follow it and learn. I'm sure with enough concerted effort, one obviously can learn it... but there will be some trial and error and some guesswork. Normally that's fine, but it slows the process compared to other tech stacks and their guides.
The Clojure community is nice and helpful, but they're all busy doing real work (rather than teaching). Even the book I mentioned is not yet complete and has been in progress for over two years I think.

Advent of Code Day 4
My best suggestion here would be clj-kondo with flycheck-clj-kondo in Emacs. I really can't recommend it enough and would have killed to have it when I was learning Clojure. Not only will it underline all of those references to (now) undefined vars, but it can tell you about numerous little mistakes like mixing up arguments orders in (say) sequence functions, misplaced docstrings that get discarded, style conventions, etc. It's staggering how good it is even for a language as dynamic as Clojure.

The Joy of Static Analysis: automated Clojure code refactoring
Clj-kondo doesn't produce an AST but you could easily combine the analysis output with the AST produced by rewrite-clj by matching on location.

Can you use Clojure for mobile, backend, frontend, scripts, desktop, and embedded development?
But if you want full support, you can implement a hook: https://github.com/clj-kondo/clj-kondo/blob/master/doc/hooks.md

Wrote one of my first clojure programs (tic-tac-toe). Any constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated.
Please configure and use tools like clj-kondo and kibit. Kibit will report areas where you could write idiomatic clojure instead. Eg, it should catch all those (if (condition) true false) and ask you to replace it with (condition). Or if you really need a boolean value, use boolean to coerce it.

Are these problems something that Just Make Sense once I learn more, or what?
Try clj-kondo, a Clojure linter which will tell you about arity errors and more, before you even evaluate your code.
