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.

Julia 1.10 Released
Are there solid C interfaces that can be used?
A large part of why I started using Julia is because calling into other languages through the C FFI is pretty easy and efficient. Most of the wrappers are a single line. If there is not existing driver support, I would pass the C headers through Clang.jl, which automatically wraps the C API in a C header.

I most recently did this with libtiff. Here is the Clang.jl code to generate the bindings. It's less than 30 lines of sterotypical code.

The generated bindings with a few tweaks is here:

A new C++ <-> Julia Wrapper: jluna
If you are interested in C++ interop you can also have a look at Clang.jl and CxxWrap.jl (the usual Julia package chaos applies, where the package mentioned in old talks and docs that you find on google is superseded by some others...)

Show HN: OpenOrb, a curated search engine for Atom and RSS feeds
Imagine my surprise to see OpenOrb, the standard open source software package for orbit determination and minor planet propagation, on the front page of HackerNews. Its interesting software with a beautiful theoretical basis in Bayesian statistics, and a gnarly Fortran codebase - I can’t wait to see the discussion!
Oh.
It’s one thing to land near a name in use. It is quite another to take it directly!

NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test Is a Smashing Success
Mostly Python and Fortran. See for example https://github.com/oorb/oorb.
The hardest problems are always the social ones. How do you get uptake of a new method, how do you get funding, how do you politely tell a collaboration they are doing the wrong thing, etc.
But if you mean pure technical stuff - the hardest problem I had to solve was rethinking some of the inner loops of the THOR algorithm. The problem was essentially to speed up a Hough transform in 6D space. Lots of time spent profiling CPU cache timings to get that fast.
What are some alternatives?
threads - Threads for Lua and LuaJIT. Transparent exchange of data between threads is allowed thanks to torch serialization.
thor - Tracklet-less Heliocentric Orbit Recovery
jluna - Julia Wrapper for C++ with Focus on Safety, Elegance, and Ease of Use
CxxWrap.jl - Package to make C++ libraries available in Julia
Tidier.jl - Meta-package for data analysis in Julia, modeled after the R tidyverse.
Torch.jl - Sensible extensions for exposing torch in Julia.
LibTIFF.jl - Clang.jl generated wrapper around Libtiff_jll.jl
Lux.jl - Elegant and Performant Scientific Machine Learning in Julia
