The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
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.

Meta Used Monolithic Architecture to Ship Threads in Only Five Months
Meta is actually contributing directly to upstream cpython. If you really wanted to, the internal fork is also open source: https://github.com/facebookincubator/cinder
- Meta pledges Three-Year sponsorship for Python if GIL removal is accepted
- Back end of Meta Threads is built with Python 3.10 with some interesting tweaks
-
Lessons from Mojo for PHP 10+ ?
Just one example: last year Meta open-sourced Cinder, which powers Instagram and provides sizeable speedups compared to CPython.
- Python true static typing

Best book on writing an optimizing compiler (inlining, types, abstract interpretation)?
I used to work on the Cinder JIT and can help document any passes you find interesting or confusing.

Python-based compiler achieves orders-of-magnitude speedups
You might enjoy Cinder then. It's based on CPython so it is nearly 100% compatible.

Disclaimer: I used to work on it.

beartype: It has documentation now. It only took two years, my last hair follicle, precious sanity points (SPs), and working with Sphinx. Don't be like @leycec. Go hard on documentation early.
I think Cinder's Static Python, which also performs runtime type checking, is more ambitious. Though it's not production ready yet.

If there’s gonna be a Python 4.0 one day, what’s a breaking change you’d like to see? Let’s explore the ideas you have that can make Python even better!
Here's a fork that implements that https://github.com/facebookincubator/cinder - it might be nice to one day get that up streamed but obviously it'll be controversial and it certainly needs more time to bake. Hopefully at some point we can make it a pip installable extension though.

Is it time for Python to have a statically-typed, compiled, fast superset?
The other thing that was interesting to me, was the potential of type annotations to help make for a faster, safer experience on the compiler end of things. One example is seen in Meta’s Cinder project, on the docs it explains how typing can be used to reduce the number of steps for the compiler ([cinder/static_python.rst at cinder/3.8 · facebookincubator/cinder · GitHub](https://github.com/facebookincubator/cinder/blob/cinder/3.8/CinderDoc/static_python.rst)), making it more effective.

Enhance Your Project Quality with These Top Python Libraries
MonkeyType collects runtime types of function arguments and return values, and can automatically generate stub files or add type annotations directly to your Python code based on the types collected at runtime.

A Tale of Two Kitchens - Hypermodernizing Your Python Code Base
To alleviate the burden of manual annotation, MonkeyType offers a clever solution. It dynamically observes the types entering and leaving functions during code execution. Based on this observation, it generates a preliminary draft of type annotations. This significantly reduces the effort needed to add type hints to legacy code.
- Do you know any library that automatically detects unused files / functions inside a project folder?
-
Programming Breakthroughs We Need
https://github.com/instagram/MonkeyType can perform the call logging, and can export a static typing file which is used by mypy, but also e.g. PyCharm. It doesn't expose such fine grained types, but you could build that based on the logged data.
-
Gradually introduce type checking to an existing typed codebase.
Which introduces MonkeyType, a python library that generatics static type annotations by collecting runtime types.
- Call me naive, but would it not be possible to create a tool for python the auto adds type hints at run time?
- Is there any language that is as similar as possible to Python in syntax, readability, and features, but is statically typed?

Typehole – Create TypeScript interfaces from JS runtime values automatically
Not sure if you're joking but there is something similar for python developed by a rather well known company https://github.com/Instagram/MonkeyType
