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.

Does Julia Have a Chance to Overthrown Python in the Machine Learning Industry?
For frontends Python has quite some head-start. In principle it would be possible to write Julia frond-ends to existing ML libraries (written e.g. in C), for example https://github.com/FluxML/Torch.jl , but the advantages over Python frontends would be very limited. Only a front-to-back Julia implementation leverages most of the language advantages like composibility and flexibility.

Julia: faster than Fortran, cleaner than Numpy
PyTorch for example is a C++ library with a Python user interface, see e.g. the language shares in GitHub (https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch ). There is also a Julia binding for Torch (https://github.com/FluxML/Torch.jl), but I do not know how up-to-date it is.

Julia 1.10 Released
btw, there has been a pretty nice effort of reimplementing the tidyverse in julia with https://github.com/TidierOrg/Tidier.jl and it seems to be quite nice to work with, if you were missing that from R at least

Pandas vs. Julia – cheat sheet and comparison
Indeed DataFrames.jl isn't and won't be the fastest way to do many things. It makes a lot of trade offs in performance for flexibility. The columns of the dataframe can be any indexable array, so while most examples use 64-bit floating point numbers, strings, and categorical arrays, the nice thing about DataFrames.jl is that using arbitrary precision floats, pointers to binaries, etc. are all fine inside of a DataFrame without any modification. This is compared to things like the Pandas allowed datatypes (https://pbpython.com/pandas_dtypes.html). I'm quite impressed by the DataFrames.jl developers given how they've kept it dynamic yet seem to have achieved pretty good performance. Most of it is smart use of function barriers to avoid the dynamism in the core algorithms. But from that knowledge it's very clear that systems should be able to exist that outperform it even with the same algorithms, in some cases just by tens of nanoseconds but in theory that bump is always there.
In the Julia world the one which optimizes to be fully non-dynamic is TypedTables (https://github.com/JuliaData/TypedTables.jl) where all column types are known at compile time, removing the dynamic dispatch overhead. But in Julia the minor performance gain of using TypedTables vs the major flexibility loss is the reason why you pretty much never hear about it. Probably not even worth mentioning but it's a fun tidbit.
> For what it's worth, data.table is my favourite to use and I believe it has the nicest ergonomics of the three I spoke about.
I would be interested to hear what about the ergonomics of data.table you find useful. if there are some ideas that would be helpful for DataFrames.jl to learn from data.table directly I'd be happy to share it with the devs. Generally when I hear about R people talk about tidyverse. Tidier (https://github.com/TidierOrg/Tidier.jl) is making some big strides in bringing a tidy syntax to Julia and I hear that it has had some rapid adoption and happy users, so there are some ongoing efforts to use the learnings of R API's but I'm not sure if someone is looking directly at the data.table parts.
