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.

The Elements of Differentiable Programming
I can't reply to the guy saying julia is the only one. But there are others.
Ceres uses dual numbers
https://github.com/ceres-solver/ceres-solver/blob/master/inc...
This library from google is used everywhere in robotics, so it's hardly some backwater little side project.
So does c++ autodiff
- A large scale non-linear optimization library
-
Photometric Bundle Adjustment library?
http://ceres-solver.org (if you want to implement it manually, see tutorials & openCV sfm module)
-
Gradients Without Backpropagation
http://ceres-solver.org/ works well, in my experience.
-
Is there a library for non-linear optimization in Rust?
Hey, people! I was wondering if there is a library for non-linear optimization, equivalent to that for Ceres Solver that you have in C++?
-
What libraries do you miss from other languages?
I've not yet seen anything comparable to http://ceres-solver.org/

Non-linear equation solver for microcontrollers
Disclaimer: I'm one of the authors of Ceres Solver which is widely used for solving computational geometry problems in computer vision. I also wrote TinySolver. And nowadays, I focus on Pigweed; a collection of embedded libraries targeting high-volume consumer electronics products. It's fun to see an overlap of these two areas expertise!

(Direct) Collocation in (Time) Optimal Control
Howdy! Collocation methods can be... tricky. For NMPC control of vehicles, success has been had using direct multiple shooting. Also easier to implement and more intuitive. In fact, this example from the GH is pretty instructive: https://github.com/casadi/casadi/blob/master/docs/examples/python/race_car.py

Are there any optimization libraries/packages that use automatic differentiation?
JuMP.jl (Julia) or casADi (Python) are good choices.
-
Should I switch over completely to Julia from Python for numerical analysis/computing?
Python is not mature in this area. If you ask Google what Simulink for Python is, you get responses that point to dead libraries that were never feature complete and slow. The absolute closest is CASADI which is nice for some things but doesn't even have a true causal modeling interface and is mostly abandoned by the developers (they put a patch in every now and then, but just look at the commit graph), and it's slow compared to the Julia tools, so much so that PyBAMM is interfacing with ModelingToolkit.jl in Julia for a performance boost. Python is not the place to be for causal/acausal modeling or controls. Anyone who is saying "Python is mature" here is saying it in the abstract and not in the context of your actual question. Yes, Python has web development frameworks. No it does not have good libraries for tons of areas (control, acausal modeling, pharmacometrics, etc.).
What are some alternatives?
