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.

Mise is a polyglot tool version manager
Where are you getting "mise uses asdf" from? mise is simply compatible with all asdf plugins. Not the same thing.
It's even said almost at the top of the README.md in the "30 seconds demo" section:
"The following shows using mise to install different versions of node. Note that calling which node gives us a real path to node, not a shim."
https://github.com/jdx/mise?tab=readme-ov-file#30-second-dem...
So yes, mise does not use shims. It only manipulates $PATH. I did benchmarks a while ago and that definitely and consistently has shaved some milliseconds off of the startup times of my tools.

Install Asdf: One Runtime Manager to Rule All Dev Environments
mise borrows the plugins from asdf, which also makes it non-cross platform. Interesting discussion on this topic on their GitHub: https://github.com/jdx/mise/discussions/66
Solutions considered include adopting the vfox plugin system or transpiling all asdf plugins to ShellJs.
Now I know that vfox exists.

Pyenv – lets you easily switch between multiple versions of Python
Why not just use a tool like asdf (https://asdf-vm.com/) or mise (https://mise.jdx.dev/)?
These tools have the advantage of not being multi-taskers and can manage version for all your tools. You wouldn’t need pyenv and npm and rvm and…
We’ve even started committing the .mise.toml files for projects to our repos. That way, since we work on multiple projects that may need multiple versions of the same tool, it’s handled and documented.

Difftastic, a structural diff tool that understands syntax
direnv + mise does exactly that. When I cd to various directories I get different env vars, it's pretty neat. Setting aliases would just be a case of adding them.
https://github.com/jdx/mise/discussions/1525 for an example of how I use direnv with mise.

Show HN: Flox 1.0 – Open-source dev env as code with Nix
Not nix based, but I really like https://github.com/jdx/mise too to manage dev tools.
It’s a modern version of https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf written in Rust.

A Journey to Find an Ultimate Development Environment
The purpose of a version manager is to help you navigate or install any tools for development easily. Version Manager can be one tool for each dependency (e.g. NVM, g) or One tool for all dependencies (e.g. asdf, mise).

Mise is a polyglot tool version manager
It also replaces "just" as a task manager for me which is very pleasant.
The fact that the python plugin uses precompiled Python binaries by default instead of building them from source remove common issues I had with the asdf's python plugin at work with missing dependencies.
Just so you know, I encountered two little quirks that needed a fix:
- [Backspace Key Doesn't work in Python REPL](https://github.com/indygreg/python-build-standalone/blob/mai...)

Pyenv – lets you easily switch between multiple versions of Python
These builds are an alternative: https://github.com/indygreg/python-build-standalone
Those are what Rye and hatch use.
Drawbacks: late availability of patch versions, various quirks from how they are built (missing readline, missing some build info that self-compiled C python modules might need.)

Bundling Python isn't too bad if you find the right tools for it.
I really like https://github.com/indygreg/python-build-standalone and https://github.com/indygreg/PyOxidizer
A bundled, built standalone Python can be 16 to 32MB (including the full standard library, which you can strip down to just the bits you use to save size). Not tiny, but probably not worth switching programming languages over.

ModuleNotFoundError, but it's there
I'm trying to build a "portable" Python package based on those available from https://github.com/indygreg/python-build-standalone/releases.

Briefcase: Convert a Python project into a standalone native application
I'm a huge fan of https://github.com/indygreg/python-build-standalone which provides Python builds that CAN be moved around and work independently of any other Python installation.
I used that for my own Python+Electron app, which I wrote about here: https://til.simonwillison.net/electron/python-inside-electro...

alternative to poetry/pip/pipenv/pyenv/venv/virtualenv/pdm/hatch/…
I used to build my own Pythons that are the same everywhere, now I use indygreg's Python builds. Rye will automatically download and manage Python builds from there. No compiling, no divergence.

As if there weren't enough packaging tools already: mitsuhiko/rye: an experimental alternative to poetry/pip/pipenv/venv/virtualenv/pdm/hatch/…
One interesting tidbit is that it completely ignores your system Python installations, and instead uses precompiled installations of Python by indygreg from PyOxidizer. This means you don't have to deal with installing Python. It just auto downloads the right builds.

How to install any version of Python on Northeastern's Linux server

Switching from pyenv, rbenv, goenv and nvm to asdf – yujinyuz
The lack of Ruby support instantly rings an alarm for me because CPython (on POSIX) also is not relocatable, but is listed as support. Turns pit Hermit is actually using a third-party build script[1] instead of the official one. While the python-build-standalone project is quite awesome and indeed is useful for a lot of things, it has enough quirks I would recommend against any generic package distributor to advertise as Python for general use. This in turn makes me lose most confidence on Hermit, unfortunately.
Be careful if you’re also interested in Hermit. These kinds of things bit you up way down the road when you least expect them to.

How to make sure a python program runs on a computer that might not have internet connection to download the external libraries used?
If you really want to be sure, you can download an install_only standalone Python build from https://github.com/indygreg/python-build-standalone/releases and install the libraries with the included pip. Then just tar it again to archive it, and use the included python to run your project. The downloaded wheel you get with pip wheel may depend on the Python version so you just save the wheels you must make sure the Python point version is exactly the same.
