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.

Faster CPython at PyCon, part two
It is unclear to me whether Python 3.12 will receive significant improvements. Based on the information from https://github.com/faster-cpython/benchmarking-public, it appears that there may be a 2% performance enhancement. Is this the anticipated result, or are there additional developments awaiting merger?
Initially, the "Shannon Plan" (https://github.com/markshannon/faster-cpython/blob/master/pl...) aimed for a 50% improvement with each release. Has this goal been deemed unattainable, or are there adjustments being made to the plan?

Python-based compiler achieves orders-of-magnitude speedups
Yes, that's the JIT part of the plan. Sections of code will be compiled, "at runtime". Those sections of compiled code will be tied together with interpreted code. It will be somewhere between rare to impossible to have a fully compiled program, without interpreter glue.

Does Python plan to add JIT or get rid of the GIL?
Yes, the Shannon plan, which is actively being worked on by a team headed by Guido, includes JIT work in stages 3 and 4
-
Python 3.11 is 25% faster than 3.10 on average
The goal with faster cpython is for small compounding improvements with each point release[0]. So in the end it should be much more than a tiny improvement.

The Shannon Plan. Announced by Guido at the 2021 Python Language summit, funded by Microsoft.
Well, good news then, it's in the planning!

funny enough I'm doing the exact same thing in public sector education. I'm always curious where people in our field end-up.
i saw some of your other comments about being at google. did you touch jax-md at all?
