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.

What libraries do you miss from other languages?
It really depends on what part of Numpy you're using. You can easily leave Numpy's text parsing in the dust. And if you're doing element-wise operations on arrays, you can easily see 2-3x improvement with just numba.

Experience with heap bloat
Amdahl's Law will catch up with you really fast as you add threads with this strategy, but it's simple and is amenable to formats where you may have a delimiter in the middle of a record. For situations where you need maximum scaling and don't have the possibility of delimiters scattered into records, you can use the strategy I used to implement a faster numpy.loadtxt: https://github.com/saethlin/loadtxt/blob/master/src/inner.rs#L84 The general idea is that you divide the file among thread boundaries by splitting it on byte boundaries, then seeking from that byte offset to the end of the next record. This gets you non-interleaved sections so there's no duplicate parsing.

Velox: Meta's Unified Execution Engine [pdf]
Python's Substrait seems like the biggest/most-used competitor-ish out there. I'd love some compare & contrast; my sense is that Substrait has a smaller ambition, and more wants to be a language for talking about execution rather than a full on execution engine. https://github.com/substrait-io/substrait
We can also see from the DataFusion discussion that they too see themselves as a bit of a Velox competitor. https://github.com/apache/arrow-datafusion/discussions/6441

What I Talk About When I Talk About Query Optimizer (Part 1): IR Design
Agree, substrait is a really cool project! Related: if you like substrait you might want to check out datafusion too. The project is a query execution engine built on top of Apache Arrow (with SQL parser, query planner & optimizer, execution engine, extensible user defined functions, among others) and it implements a substrait provider and consumer: https://github.com/apache/arrow-datafusion/tree/main/datafus...

GlareDB: An open source SQL database to query and analyze distributed data
Apache Arrow is a pretty common memory structure these days. Datafusion is an open query engine built in Rust started by Andy Grove.

DuckDB 0.8.0
DuckDB is a great piece of software if you are
If you are looking for a query engine implemented in a safe language (Rust) I definitely suggest checking out DataFusion. It is comparable to DuckDB in performance, has all the standard built in SQL functionality, and is extensible in pretty much all areas (query language, data formats, catalogs, user defined functions, etc)

Bridging Async and Sync Rust Code - A lesson learned while working with Tokio
Problem comes when you want to do this inside an async context since we couldn't block an async task. https://users.rust-lang.org/t/sync-function-invoking-async/43364/6 You might need to do it in another runtime/thread. It is not recommended to do this, but sometimes it is unavoidable while implementing a third-party trait. https://github.com/apache/arrow-datafusion/issues/3777 However, I believe this isn't a problem particular to tokio, or any specific runtime.
