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.

One can, of course, go much further than simply distinct number types: https://github.com/ringabout/awesome-nim#science
(Unchained seems maybe the most featureful of those units packages.)

An Intuition for Lisp Syntax
> This is useful for compiler programmers, or maybe also those writing source code analyzers/optimizers, but is that it?
It is also useful for anyone wanting to implement language-level features as simple libraries. Someone else brought up Nim here: it's a great example of what can be done with metaprogramming (and in a non-Lisp language) as it intentionally sticks to a small-but-extendable-core design.
There's macro-based libraries that implement the following, with all the elegance of a compiler feature: traits, interfaces, classes, typeclasses, contracts, Result types, HTML (and other) DSLs, syntax sugar for a variety of things (notably anonymous functions `=>` and Option types `?`), pattern matching (now in the compiler), method cascading, async/await, and more that I'm forgetting.

Nim: Curated Packages
Just under their table of contents, they say that "This list is fairly outdated." and point you to https://github.com/xflywind/awesome-nim - and that repo seems to have recent updates.

Nim Community Survey 2021 Results
Thanks for making these, I actually had no idea these existed! I don't "need" them now but seeing these gives me ideas for projects and makes future things easier.
I wish discovery of community libraries was higher, I'm constantly discovering libraries that do amazing things 'hidden' away. I know there's https://nimble.directory/ and https://github.com/xflywind/awesome-nim but most of the time I end up using a search engine for something specific if I think of it.

Mojo is now available on Mac
I mean honestly, the closest language to Mojo really is Nim. In the latest Lex Fridman interview [0] when he talks about his ideas behind Mojo it pretty much sounds like he's describing Nim. Ok fair, he wants Mojo to be a full superset of Python, but honestly with nimpy [1] our Python interop is about as seamless as it can really be (without being a superset, which Mojo clearly is not yet). Even the syntax of Mojo looks a damn lot like Nim imo. Anyway, I guess he has the ability to raise enough funds to hire enough people to write his own language within ~2 years so as not have to follow random peoples whim about where to take the language. So I guess I can't blame him. But as someone who's pretty invested in the Nim community it's quite a shame to see such a hyped language receive so much attention by people who should really check out Nim. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Show HN: Pip Imports in Deno
You can also do this in Nim, which basically means you can write any program you could in Python with libraries in Nim. https://github.com/yglukhov/nimpy

Prospects of utilising Nim in scientific computation?
I use Python daily for its massive momentum for scientific stuff, but I also use Nim for everything else. Nim compiles to C, and making Python native modules with Nim is easy with Nimpy.

Returning to Nim from Python and Rust
If are a data scientist and come from python take a look at nimpy, a great way to just import python libraries and use them! https://github.com/yglukhov/nimpy Numpy, pandas, pytorch all usable in Nim.
Nim is the ultimate glue language, use libraries from anything: python, c, js, objc.

Python's “Disappointing” Superpowers
I've come to really enjoy programming in Nim. Note that Nim is very different language despite sharing a similar syntax. However, I feel it keeps a lot of the "feel" of Python 2 days of being a fairly simple neat language but that lets you do things at compile time (like compile time duck typing).
There's a good Python -> Nim bridge: https://github.com/yglukhov/nimpy

What language to move to from python to speed up algo?
It has pretty good integration with python, either for having your main code in python and writing small hot functions as nim and importing via nimporter or using python libraries in nim via nimpy.

ABI compatibility in Python: How hard could it be?
Related: Nimpy[0] provides an easy way to write Python extensions in Nim, which manages the ABI side very well.
Python 2 is now gone, but until it was, Nimpy was an easy way to write Python extension modules that only needed to be compiled once, and would work with any of your installed Python 2 and Python 3. Magic.
