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.

JSON in data science projects: tips & tricks
Data science projects often use numpy. However, numpy objects are not JSON-serializable and therefore require conversion to standard python objects in order to be saved:

A Comprehensive Guide to NumPy Arrays
Python has become a preferred language for data analysis due to its simplicity and robust library ecosystem. Among these, NumPy stands out with its efficient handling of numerical data. Let’s say you’re working with numbers for large data sets—something Python’s native data structures may find challenging. That’s where NumPy arrays come into play, making numerical computations seamless and speedy.

Why do all the popular projects use relative imports in __init__ files if PEP 8 recommends absolute?
I was looking at all the big projects like numpy, pytorch, flask, etc.

NumPy 2.0 development status & announcements: major C-API and Python API cleanup
I wish the NumPy devs would more thoroughly consider adding full fluent API support, e.g. x.sqrt().ceil(). [Issue #24081]

Mojo🔥: Head -to-Head with Python and Numba
Around the same time, I discovered Numba and was fascinated by how easily it could bring huge performance improvements to Python code.

Is anyone using PyPy for real work?
Simulations are, at least in my experience, numba’s [0] wheelhouse.

Any data folks coding C++ and Java? If so, why did you leave Python?
That's very cool. Numba introduces just-in-time compilation to Python via decorators and its sole reason for being is to turn everything it can into abstract syntax trees.

PYTHON vs OCTAVE for Matlab alternative
Regarding speed, I don't agree this is a good argument against Python. For example, it seems no one here has yet mentioned numba, a Python JIT compiler. With a simple decorator you can compile a function to machine code with speeds on par with C. Numba also allows you to easily write cuda kernels for GPU computation. I've never had to drop down to writing C or C++ to write fast and performant Python code that does computationally demanding tasks thanks to numba.

Codon: Python Compiler
Just for reference,
* Nuitka[0] "is a Python compiler written in Python. It's fully compatible with Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, and 3.11."
* Pypy[1] "is a replacement for CPython" with builtin optimizations such as on the fly JIT compiles.
* Cython[2] "is an optimising static compiler for both the Python programming language and the extended Cython programming language... makes writing C extensions for Python as easy as Python itself."
* Numba[3] "is an open source JIT compiler that translates a subset of Python and NumPy code into fast machine code."
* Pyston[4] "is a performance-optimizing JIT for Python, and is drop-in compatible with ... CPython 3.8.12"

Two-tier programming language
Taichi (similar to numba) is a python library that allows you to write high speed code within python. So your program consists of slow python that gets interpreted regularly, and fast python (fully type annotated and restricted to a subset of the language) that gets parallellized and jitted for CPU or GPU. And you can mix the two within the same source file.
