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.

Transpiler, a Meaningless Word
> Another problem is that there are hundreds of built-in library functions that need to be compiled from Python from C
An approach I've advocated as one of the main authors of py2many is that all of the python builtin functions be written in a subset of python[1] and then compiled into native code. This has the benefit of avoiding GIL, problems with C-API among other things.
Do checkout the examples here[2] which work out of the box for many of the 8-9 supported backends.

Why I'm still using Python
https://github.com/py2many/py2many/blob/main/doc/langspec.md
Reimplement a large enough, commonly used subset of python stdlib using this dialect and we may be in the business of writing cross platform apps (perhaps start with android and Ubuntu/Gnome)

Codon: A high-performance Python compiler
For py2many, there is an informal specification here:
https://github.com/py2many/py2many/blob/main/doc/langspec.md
Would be great if all the authors of "python-like" languages get together and come up with a couple of specs.
I say a couple, because there are ones that support the python runtime (such as cython) and the ones which don't (like py2many).

Omyyyy/pycom: A Python compiler, down to native code, using C++
Cython doesn't consume python3 type hints and needs special type hints of its own. But it's certainly more mature than other players in the field.
What we need is a rpython suitable for app programming and a stdlib written in that dialect.
https://github.com/py2many/py2many/blob/main/doc/langspec.md
- I made a Python compiler, that can compile Python source down to fast, standalone executables.

Show HN: prometeo – a Python-to-C transpiler for high-performance computing
No intermediate AST. To understand the various stages of transpilation and separation of language specific and independent rewriters, this file is a good starting point:

Implicit Overflow Considered Harmful (and how to fix it)
Link to the test that's relevant for this discussion:
https://github.com/adsharma/py2many/blob/main/tests/cases/in...
This is an explicit deviation from python's bigint, which doesn't map very well to systemsey languages. The next logical step is to build on this to have dependent and refinement types.

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.
