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.

- Show HN: Modshim – a new alternative to monkey-patching in Python

I still Lisp (and you should too)
One great upside of s-expressions for me is that you can do some cool things like 'find and replace' for whole subexpressions (for monkey patching third party code, for example). I use `el-patch` [0] in my emacs config and `advice-patch` for surgically changing the default behaviors of some org-mode functions to compile my blog [1].
That said a similar sort of thing is possible, for example, in python with `patchy` [2], and perhaps many other languages? But I guess it's not as organic as in lisps, e.g. `advice-patch` implementation is less than 100 LOC, whereas in case of python you have to rely on existing heavy lifting done by `ast` module.
As of simple syntax, it really gets in the way sometimes, e.g. I'm always annoyed by constant quoting in Elisp because the same type of brackets (only `()`) is used. In comparison, in Clojure it's much more readable with (), [], {} (and more).

A bit of nitpicking, but... which Lisp? :) For example,

Well, this is true of most languages.
