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.

Open source contributions for a Data Engineer?
His newer project, Ballista, was also donated to Apache Arrow. I hope to get the Rust skills to collaborate with him on open source work someday too. He's also doing really cool work on spark-rapids FYI.

Best format to use for DataFrames in Rust and Python?

I wrote one of the fastest DataFrame libraries
I'm guessing Polars and Ballista (https://github.com/ballista-compute/ballista) have different goals, but I don't know enough about either to say what those might be. Does anyone know enough about either to explain the differences?

Introducing Kamu - World's first global collaborative data pipeline
In your article you mention looking for a faster data engine, have you looked at Ballista https://github.com/ballista-compute/ballista? It’s pretty young but it uses the Apache Arrow memory model and the maintainer did a bunch of work on Apache Spark I believe.

Rust for DE?
https://github.com/ballista-compute/ballista is also a cool project worth checking out.

Julia: A Post-Mortem
It’s mostly a personal favourite, but once Ballista [1] gets a bit more developed, I expect we’ll tear out our Java/Spark pipelines and replace them with that.
The ML ecosystem in Rust is a bit underdeveloped at the moment, but work is ticking along on packages like Linfa and SmartCore, so maybe it’ll get there? In my field I’m mostly about it’s potential for correct, high-performance data pipelines that are straightforward to write in reasonable time, and hopefully a model-serving framework: I hate that so many of the current tools require annotating and shipping Python when really model-serving shouldn’t really need any Python code.

Why isn't differential dataflow more popular?
I've looked at this and thought it looked amazing, but also haven't used it for anything. Some thoughts...
Rust is a blessing and curse. I seems like the obvious choice for data pipelines, but everything big currently exists in Java and the small stuff is in Javascript, Python or R. Maybe this will slowly change, but it's a big ship to turn. I'm hopeful that tools like this and Balista [1] will eventually get things moving.
Since the Rust community is relatively small, language bindings would be very helpful. Being able to configure pipelines from Java or Typescript(!) would be great.
Or maybe it's just that this form of computation is too foreign. By the time you need it, the project is so large that it's too late to redesign it to use it. I'm also unclear on how it would handle changing requirements and recomputing new aggregations over old data. Better docs with more convincing examples would be helpful here. The GitHub page showing counting isn't very compelling.

I just started into Julia for ML
For point 3 you can use https://github.com/cjdoris/PythonCall.jl or https://github.com/JuliaPy/PyCall.jl (and their respective Python sister packages).

Calling Chapel, Carbon, and zig code in Julia
PyCall.jl is really handy. Are there any similar projects for calling Chapel code, or Carbon/zig?

Am I dumb in thinking I can use Rust as a Fast Python and leave it at that?
Julia and Python interop should not be a problem at all. Actually Julia has one of the best interops I’ve ever seen, so much that swift copied it. https://github.com/JuliaPy/PyCall.jl

I don't want to abandon Rust for Julia
One small note, julia also has great python interop via PyCall.jl

Interoperability in Julia
It is possible to call Python from Julia using PyCall. Then to install PyCall, run the command in the Julia REPL.
-
Why is Python so used in the machine learning?
That said, you can run python modules in Julia. So you can just export your code as a module and then use it in Julia via the PyCall package. short description here github here <— you’d just add the pacakge via the really nice package manager built into julia, but for link for more detailed documentation
