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.

Feedback needed from first low-level language learners of Rust
I wrote a fairly long post on how it happened for me. Starts out with how Logo turned me off programming as a child and a bunch of other stuff, and the part that relates to learning Rust as a first language starts at the "That was when I gave Rust a try for the first time" part.

Should I learn another language?
I have a blog post on that given how rare it is, but the tl;dr of it is that Rust completely cured my wanderlust for other languages and the more I saw if it the more I wanted to see. With other languages I just found myself wondering if it was really the best use of my time and whether I should be learning another one instead.
-
As my first programming language, should I learn Rust? I have zero programming or computer science experience.
Too late! I already did it as my first language.
-
Is this a good resource to learn Rust?
Indeed I can - I wrote a whole post about it. The key takeway is that it was the perfect first language for me because it was the first language where I never felt wanderlust for others while learning.
-
People who learned rust as their first language, what made you choose it?
It's my first language (unless you include Basic in the 80s) because it's the only one where I didn't feel wanderlust for any other languages after I discovered it. I had tried like 10 others and kept switching, only learning the basics. I wrote a long post on the experience here.

In Rust for Python: A Match from Heaven
This story unfolds as a captivating journey where the agile Flounder, representing the Python programming language, navigates the vast seas of coding under the wise guidance of Sebastian, symbolizing Rust. Central to their adventure are three powerful tridents: cargo, PyO3, and maturin.

Some Reasons to Avoid Cython
My new favorite way to write very fast libraries for Python is to just use Rust and Maturin:
https://github.com/PyO3/maturin
It basically automates everything for you. If you use it with Github actions, it will compile wheels for you on each release for every platform and python version you want, and even upload them to PyPi (pip) for you. Everything feels very modern and well thought out. People really care about good tooling in the Rust world.

Which programming language to focus on for my PhD journey in bioinformatics?
Python first, you will be able to experiment quickly with the notebooks. Then maybe write (or rewrite) some modules in Rust that you can expose as python modules, with py03 and maturin. Feel free to publish useful packages on both crates.io and pypi.org, so you can contribute to Python and Rust ecosystems.

python to rust migration
Now if you really want to use Rust, you can rewrite only the part that are slowing down your consumer. It's easy by using Py03 and maturin. Maybe also rayon to parallelize.

Ask HN: Is it worth it for me to learn Go or Rust as a Data Engineer?
It's relatively easy to extend Python with project like Py03[0] and Maturin[1]. Polars[2] is the perfect example of that.
It's not easy to push coworkers/companies to use an unfamiliar language. Rust isn't fast to learn. You need very good arguments and a good usecase to make it works.
I doubt that learning Rust will help you more that learning more about the data engineers tools, so this isn't really "worth" your time.

Blog Post: Making Python 100x faster with less than 100 lines of Rust
In this case, PyO3/maturin does all the setup and getting the module into Python. They also have docs going into a lot more depth on this.

Is Rust faster than Python out of the box
Lastly if you're willing to introduce Rust, I'd consider a gradual approach using native libraries built in rust with PYO3. Check the maturin guide that helps you to streamline the build process of native libraries : https://github.com/PyO3/maturin . From there you could try to find hotspots in your python app and replace those with a native implementation.
