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.

Writing Python like it's Rust
That would be interesting! You might already be aware. But there's mypyc[0], which is an AOT compiler for Python code with type hints (that, IIRC, mypy uses to compile itself into a native extension).
Wanted to give you a head-start on the lit-review for your students I guess :)

The different uses of Python type hints
https://github.com/mypyc/mypyc
> Mypyc compiles Python modules to C extensions. It uses standard Python type hints to generate fast code. Mypyc uses mypy to perform type checking and type inference.
> Mypyc can compile anything from one module to an entire codebase. The mypy project has been using mypyc to compile mypy since 2019, giving it a 4x performance boost over regular Python.
I have not experience a 4x boost, rather between 1.5x and 2x. I guess it depends on the code.

The Python Paradox
Funny how emergence works with tools. Give a language too few tools but viral circumstances - the ecosystem diverges (Lisps, Javascript). Give it too long an iteration time but killer guarantees, you end up with committees. Python not falling into either of these traps should be understood as nothing short of magic in emergence.
I only recently discovered that python's reference typechecker, mypy, has a small side project for typed python to emit C [1], written entirely in python. Nowadays with python's rich specializer ecosystem (LLVM, CUDA, and just generally vectorized math), the value of writing a small program in anything else diminishes quickly.
Imagine reading the C++wg release notes in the same mood that you would the python release notes.

Is it time for Python to have a statically-typed, compiled, fast superset?
More recent approaches include mypyc which is (on the tin) quite close to what you describe, and taichi that lives in between.

Rust 1.66
Speaking of cargo remove, see also cargo-edit [0] from which adding and removing originally came, as well as cargo-binstall [1] which installs binaries rather than compiling from source every time. The binaries are updatable with cargo-update [2].
The latter two can replace a package manager for Rust related utilities, as I often find that those in OS package repositories are often not as up to date as directly from cargo.

`cargo audit` can now scan compiled binaries
Would be nice if this worked with cargo-update somehow.

Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here! (26/2022)!
There is cargo install-update plugin: https://github.com/nabijaczleweli/cargo-update

go-global-update - the missing command for updating globally installed go executables
I didn't find any command or package to update those packages, and given that npm has npm -g update and cargo has cargo install-update, I decided to create go-global-update for go.

I just realised Monday is now my favourite day of the week, because in my timezone it’s the day new rust-analyzer releases come out!
rust-analyzer isn't a rust component (like rust-src, etc. which will update with rustup update), nor a cargo binary (where you could use cargo install-update - https://github.com/nabijaczleweli/cargo-update ).

Git-cliff: generate changelog files from the Git history
I initially was interested in Rust because of performance + speed + safety, but now I have to say that cargo is a big selling point for me.
I always used to be scared of compiling software myself because I never seemed to be able to get it to work without endless headaches. Now, I generally find it easy to compile Rust programs if they aren't in my package manager, and with cargo install-update https://github.com/nabijaczleweli/cargo-update I find it easy to keep the software up to date. I have higher confidence that I can get hobbyist Rust software working, and the more Rust software I use, the more familiar I am with the ecosystem and the more comfortable I am.
If this was written in some obscure language I wasn't familiar with, I'd be less confident I would be able to run it at all, let alone keep it updated, and I may not bother even trying to install it.

DoorDash: Migrating From Python to Kotlin for Our Backend Services
So while it may take a while for some, it's already absolutely fine for me to compile my projects in a few seconds or a minute. I install all my related tooling via cargo install and update it via cargo install-update -a ( https://github.com/nabijaczleweli/cargo-update ) so I frequently/daily build different Rust projects and I'm quite ok with the compilation times.
What are some alternatives?
