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.

How to Create Virtual Environments in Python
Python's venv module is officially recommended for creating virtual environments since Python 3.5 comes packaged with your Python installation. While there still are additional older tools available, such as conda and virtualenv, if you are new to virtual environments, it is best to use venv now.
- Why does creating my conda environment use so much memory?
- Installing Anaconda on ChromeOS using Linux

PSA: conda-libmamba-solver can cut two hours off of your Anaconda install, but has only 47 GitHub stars. It deserves more praise.
conda's dependency solver solves a harder problem than pip's. This quote alludes to it "Conda will never be as fast as pip, so long as we're doing real environment solves and pip satisfies itself only for the current operation." (from https://github.com/conda/conda/issues/7239). Thus mamba was created to improve performance and now conda is bringing in that performance boost.
- Is Anaconda still open source?

How to get the best Conda environment experience in Codespaces
The other challenge I ran into sometimes was that if I was running a lower memory/storage Codespace instance, when I tried to use Conda from the command line to modify environments, the process would be killed after a few seconds. This turns out to be related to some performance issues Conda has that make it consume a lot of memory when trying to work with the conda-forge installation channel. You can always then just increase the size of the Codespace your are working with (just go to your Codespaces list and use the triple dots to change the settings for a Codespace).

What is the status of Python 3.11?
It's worth noting that [ana]conda isn't even fully compatible yet with 3.11 (you can use it to create 3.11 environments--and you really should rather than waiting on relying on the system python--but conda itself can only run on 3.10.

Miniconda finally released for Python 3.10
It took some time but as great Christmas present Miniconda was finally released with Python 3.10!

TW: ZSH (and BASH?) does not show current working dir etc anymore
The September update broke it.
-
Python 3.11.0 is now available
According to this this issue is high on their priority list (whatever that means).

Minimal implementation of Mamba, the new LLM architecture, in 1 file of PyTorch
>"everyone" seems to know Mamba. I never heard of Mamba
Only the "everybody who knows what mamba is" are the ones upvoting and commenting. Think of all the people who ignore it. For me, Mamba is the faster version of Conda [1], and that's why I clicked on the article.

Towards a New SymPy
Yes, this is a big disadvantage. But have you tried Mamba that aims at implementing Anaconda more efficiently? It works really well in most cases.

Why are the bioconda bioconductor packages so slow to update?
Because conda is very slow at resolving dependencies. Mamba (https://github.com/mamba-org/mamba) is faster if that is your goal
-
Is pip gaining on conda for python libs?
use mamba instead
-
Real-world examples of std::expected in codebases?
We started using tl::expected in https://github.com/mamba-org/mamba/ since the beginning of this year and some other related projects like https://github.com/mamba-org/powerloader . I don't know much other big open-source codebases that use that specific lib.

What's Great about Julia?
Great writeup. Minor comment about the portion of the post mentioning Conda being glacially slow: Mamba [1] is a much better drop-in replacement written in C++. Not only is it significantly faster, but error messages are much more sane and helpful.
That being said, I do agree that Pkg.jl is much more sleek and modern than Conda/Mamba.

Given Rust’s rapidly growing popularity and wide range of use cases, it seems almost inevitable that it will overtake Python in the near future.
I thought that python could live a little longer when I learned about mamba. But then I found out it is written in C++? Why write a package manager for a dying language in a language that is almost dead???
-
Does anyone use virtual environments (Conan's virtual env. or Conda's) for C++
Yes, I use Conda enviroments (actually I use Mamba to manage them now).
