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.

Why you should use Data Classes in Python
(Note: I wrote a library called spock that was originally based on dataclasses and then shifted to attrs. In the end attrs was just the better and more fully fledged library for what I needed so I’ve always preferred attrs over dataclasses since then)

Is Spock-Config the only tool that integrates object-oriented config files and command-line interfaces?
Spock-Config allows one to create OO configuration files. That's how I roll. I currently use PYdantic settings and it's great. But it does not offer command-line re-configuration of what you have in the OO config file.
- My first Python project: reference finder
- Python 3.11 will now have tomllib - Support for Parsing TOML in the Standard Library

[D] I'm new and scrappy. What tips do you have for better logging and documentation when training or hyperparameter training?
We wrote Spock which actually sits in the middle ground between Hydra and OmegaConf (I’m of the same opinion that Hydra does a little too much feature wise). You can do hierarchical composition within the markdown of any JSON, YAML, or TOML files by simply using the config argument. No code needed to merge. Docs are here if you’re interested.

XML is better than YAML
NestedText already is the way I use YAML; everything is intepreted as a string. I have some trust in my YAML parser to not mangle most strings. I could use NestedText, but users would be unfamiliar with it, and IIRC the only parsers are in Python. But then I could use StrictYaml too https://github.com/crdoconnor/strictyaml

DO YOU YAML?
YAML stands for "YAML Ain’t Markup Language" - this is known as a recursive acronym. YAML is often used for writing configuration files. It’s human readable, easy to understand and can be used with other programming languages. Although YAML is commonly used in many disciplines, it has received criticism on the amoutn of whitespace .yml files have, difficulty in editing, and complexity of the standard. Despite the criticism, properly using YAML ensures that you can reproduce the results of a project and makes sure that the virtual environment packages play nicely with system packages. (If you're looking for another way to share environments there are other alternatives to YAML which include StrictYAML (a type-safe YAML parser) and NestedText)

The yaml document from hell
The example you linked provides this as an example of a YAML document that he wants his format to support.

The YAML Document from Hell
That safe subset exists and is implemented in a number of languages. It is called strict-yaml: https://hitchdev.com/strictyaml/

Why JSON Isn’t a Good Configuration Language (2018)
To me those are in the category of "nice to have", and the problem is that every developer has different preferences for these [1] [2]. But the main features of StrictYaml, like supporting comments and less syntactic noise, I think are pretty uncontroversial, and perhaps it's worth it to get people to switch over for those alone. It doesn't need to be perfect, it just needs to be a significant enough improvement over JSON, and I'd say those two features are more than enough
