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.

Just putting my hand up to say that MicroPython is awesome (and runs on the RP2040). https://micropython.org

Lilygo T-Deck: 2.8-inch IPS LCD display, mini keyboard, and ESP32 processor
Gah, I just ordered one on impulse [1]. I've wanted to build out a WiFi PDA for quite some time now and I like this hardware.
I'm quite liking the idea of running tulip MicroPython [2] on it, or going back to pure MicroPython [3] and writing some drivers. Apparently something like ampy can be used to upload/download Python files [4].
Threads could be quite exciting for running multiple programs at once [5], although I have no idea what it means for two programs to fight over GPIO! It does seem as though MicroPython can only utilise a single core [6].

CAN Bus with MicroPython
There is some work to implement a common CAN interface in micropython but it's some way off yet: https://github.com/micropython/micropython/pull/13149

Show HN: MicroLua – Lua for the RP2040 Microcontroller

There's an iperf opkg pkg, or is it just netperf (which works with fluent)?
raspberrypi/pico-examples//pico_w/wifi/iperf/picow_iperf.c:
I favor micropython[0]. Besides being Python, which I prefer, it actually runs on m68k and RISC-V.

New Functionality: Bluetooth for Raspberry Pi Pico W
This is the PR where the work is being merged into ‘upstream’ micropython for those who are interested. I have been following this side February. Very interesting to see https://github.com/micropython/micropython/pull/10739

Makefile vs Cmake - Objective comparison ?
On a larger project like this, it generally feels like new build features that take any of us a couple of hours to get working in make, might take a couple of days to replicate on cmake. One recent example of this is build variants: https://github.com/micropython/micropython/pull/9056

Does Python plan to add JIT or get rid of the GIL?
Sadly, both Jython and IronPython have stalled somewhat. IronPython is slowly working towards Python 3 support. Jython has a roadmap towards Python 3 support, but their version 3 repo is not in active development.

How are Python and C related? I've read that Python is 'made from C'. Does that mean that Python is just an abstraction of lots of large C functions?
The program I linked is the Python interpreter you're probably using, but the abstract set of rules that make up Python are not in any particular way tied to C. You could also use a Java program or a C# program to interpret your Python code. They've even made Python in Python itself, although it uses a more restricted version of Python so it's easier to compile it.
