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 make a c++ python extension?
The approach that I favour is to use Cython. The nice thing with this approach is that your code is still written as (almost) Python, but so long as you define all required types correctly it will automatically create the C extension for you. Early versions of Cython required using Cython specific typing (Python didn't have type hints when Cython was created), but it can now use Python's type hints.

Codon: Python Compiler
Just for reference,
* Nuitka[0] "is a Python compiler written in Python. It's fully compatible with Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, and 3.11."
* Pypy[1] "is a replacement for CPython" with builtin optimizations such as on the fly JIT compiles.
* Cython[2] "is an optimising static compiler for both the Python programming language and the extended Cython programming language... makes writing C extensions for Python as easy as Python itself."
* Numba[3] "is an open source JIT compiler that translates a subset of Python and NumPy code into fast machine code."
* Pyston[4] "is a performance-optimizing JIT for Python, and is drop-in compatible with ... CPython 3.8.12"

Any faster Python alternatives?
Profile and optimize the hotspots with cython (or whatever the cool kids are using these days... It's been a while.)

What exactly is 'JIT'?
JIT essentially means generating machine code for the language on the fly, either during loading of the interpreter (method JIT), or by profiling and optimizing hotspots (tracing JIT). The language itself can be statically or dynamically typed. You could also compile a dynamic language ahead of time, for example, cython.

Marvin Attack on RSA (Rust): potential key recovery through timing sidechannels
There are a few research languages where handling secrets and constant-time operations correctly is a first-class feature. See for example:

The Year of C++ Successor Languages
I can field questions folks might have on DataDraw. I'm not Bill, but I wrote the docs PR that recently overhauled the Rune README to highlight a lot of this interesting info about its use of the DD tool.
Another neat thing about DD -- the Rune compiler/grammar itself are written as DataDraw types, and one of the builtin things you can do is generate PostScript visualizations of them. Check this out:
