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.

Why not tell people to “simply” use pyenv, poetry or anaconda
The short term solution is "relieving the packaging pain" link in the article.
The long term solution is described in the "What a solution could look like?" section of https://www.bitecode.dev/p/why-is-the-python-installation-pr...
The community is buzzing with attempts to fix those issues this year, so I’m hopping those posts will become obsolete one day.
Flask’s author is attempting something interesting with rye: https://github.com/mitsuhiko/rye
Trio’s author is drafting a spec for the equivalent of wheels, but for the whole python interpreter: https://github.com/njsmith/posy/blob/main/pybi/README.md
Not advocating to use them right now, but the fact is bootstrapping Python is finally acknowledged as one major cause of packaging issues and a priority to solve.

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).
What are some alternatives?
rye - a Hassle-Free Python Experience
asdf - Extendable version manager with support for Ruby, Node.js, Elixir, Erlang & more
Nuitka - Nuitka 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. You feed it your Python app, it does a lot of clever things, and spits out an executable or extension module.
pyenv-win - pyenv for Windows. pyenv is a simple python version management tool. It lets you easily switch between multiple versions of Python. It's simple, unobtrusive, and follows the UNIX tradition of single-purpose tools that do one thing well.
