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.

ChipWits (1984) was programmed in MacFORTH because...
I recently found a little C-like scripting language, S-Lang (aka slang) that is a stack machine that allows some explicit stack manipulation. This almost feels like programming directly in Java VM byte codes or FORTH. Not for the faint of heart.
- Microfeatures I'd like to see in more languages

Smalltalk – Slang (direct mapping to C or JavaScript)

The S-Lang programming library is a software library for Unix, Windows, VMS, OS/2, and Mac OS X. It provides routines for embedding an interpreter for the S-Lang scripting language, and components to facilitate the creation of text-based applications.[3] The latter class of functions include routines for constructing and manipulating keymaps, an interactive line-editing facility, and both low- and high-level screen/terminal management functions. It is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License.

- Typer: Python library for building CLI applications
- Copilot for your GitHub stars

Things I've learned about building CLI tools in Python
I have been using Typer on every one of my CLI projects which uses Click under the hood. The documentation is fantastic, the CLI app it produces looks great and lets you create things quickly. I high recommend it.

Things to do with standalone script
Adding CLI capabilities. My preferred library here is typer.

Where to start for managing a Python code base for public distribution
I just heard about this but it seems to be pretty much the type of thing you want and want fast.

Help on Docstrings
Docstrings are for documenting how a function/ class/ method/ module works. Often you don't need to add a docstring to your main function because no one will be importing it to use elsewhere. And if you want it to run as a CLI, then there are better ways to document the available options. For example, typer does most of it for you, or in click you add the help text to the decorator.

Which best practices do you follow to build robust & extensible ETL jobs?
Most computing tasks in airflow DAGs are KubernetesPodOperator containing a CLI (Python Typer). It allows us to pass arguments easily to run DAG manually if needed (the new UI to pass arguments to DAG in airflow 2.6 is really nice). Arguments allow us to replay DAG easily (change start / end dates for instance).

Devs on teams that deploy anytime you want, what does your SDLC workflow look like?
So it's basically the main .gitlab-ci.yml file plus a separate Python CI app using Typer for the AWS instrumentation.
-
The different uses of Python type hints
Similarly for Typer, which is literally "the FastAPI of CLIs"[1]. Handy to type your `main` parameters and have CLI argument parsing. For more complicated cases, it's a wrapper around Click.

Command line parser library, which one do you like the most, regardless of language?
interesting that you hate python, but love Click. Did you try Typer which uses Click underneath?
