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.

Type information for faster Python C extensions
Lower latency native calls in Python would be extremely useful, thank you for your work! Is the following GitHub issue the right place to monitor progress? https://github.com/faster-cpython/ideas/issues/546
I'm open to doing some benchmarking. Several of my libraries have pure CPython bindings (StringZilla, UCall, SimSIMD), and all perform low-latency SIMD-accelerated ops, so might be a good testing ground :)

How Many Lines of C It Takes to Execute a and B in Python?
Recent CPython development has been towards optimizations and addressing use cases that benefit from optimizations, some coming from the faster CPython initiative. You might just get your JIT[1].

GIL removal and the Faster CPython project
The faster-cpython folks seem to be working towards a JIT (https://github.com/faster-cpython/ideas/tree/main/3.13) and both pyston and cinder have JITs. So I don't think anyone has ruled one out.

Our Plan for Python 3.13
faster-cpython team has done a lot of work to experiment on it: https://github.com/faster-cpython/ideas/issues/485#issuecomm...
It kind of sounds like migration to register based is a foregone conclusion, but it's not very clear to me.

Faster CPython at PyCon, part two
lots of big ideas are still remaining to be done. One example is the register based interpreter, see https://github.com/faster-cpython/ideas/issues/485
A previous plan called for the beginning of a JIT in 3.12, seen as "Trace optimized interpreter" here: https://github.com/faster-cpython/ideas/wiki/Workflow-for-3....

Python Is Portable
The reality is a bit different, the work on Python 3.6 was checked into the Cosmopolitan repo and I have been able to use it for production workloads that are in pure python. [0]
As Cosmopolitan Libc has evolved, it has been possible to compile more software without modifications, and that includes latest Python through a project called superconfigure[1].
Last person who tried to reproduce it from scratch did it last week (granted it too them a few days of solid work) but in the end they ended with a portable binary with Python 3.11.9, brotli, ssl and asyncio for their work related project.[2]

Ask HN: What Underrated Open Source Project Deserves More Recognition?
Cosmopolitan https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan and https://justine.lol/cosmopolitan/index.html
Some genius realized that you can actually embed valid win32 programs inside valid posix shell scripts, and found a way to make a C cross-platform solution out of it, meaning that you can write C programs that compile to a single executable that will run on (quoting the site) Linux + Mac + Windows + FreeBSD + OpenBSD + NetBSD + BIOS
It all started from this post.
- Cosmopolitan – build-once run-anywhere C library
-
Show HN: Usr/bin/env Docker run
For this .args file, put one argument per line. This will run on start. You can use `/zip/mydepencency.anything` to read from files, but if you have an executable dependency you'll need to extract it first.
You can do this with any software you can compile with comsocc, by adding a call to LoadZipArgs[1] in the main function.
It'seasy to get started, your ideas will branch out as soon as you start playing with it.

Libwebsockets
FWIW there is ongoing work with good progress to add websocket support to redbean (https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan/pull/967)

Ask HN: ANSI escape sequences reference docs?
Check out this comment by jart (cosmpolitan author) here: https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan/issues/766#issuecomment...
it might help but not sure how comprehensive it is! would it be a bad idea for you to check out the source code of other popular emulators (maybe iTerm 2^0) ?

Actually Portable Vim (With a Cute Vimrc)
The binary was compiled with Cosmopolitan Libc [0], and therefore the binary will execute natively on Linux, Mac, Windows, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, and bare metal (BIOS boot).
I would call that portable.

Show HN: PyApp – runtime installer for Python applications
will go on my "to try" list where i already have cosmopolitan [2]. my last setup (windows) was shiv + wine + nsis (used that as pyinstaller had some issues)[2]

What are some alternatives?
Nuitka - Nuitka 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. You feed it your Python app, it does a lot of clever things, and spits out an executable or extension module.
libc - libc targeted for embedded systems usage. Reduced set of functionality (due to embedded nature). Chosen for portability and quick bringup.
faster-cpython - How to make CPython faster.
src - Read-only git conversion of OpenBSD's official CVS src repository. Pull requests not accepted - send diffs to the tech@ mailing list.
