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.

Is there any reason to use Ruby 2.7 over Ruby 3.x?
For production environments, I rely on Fullstaq Ruby. It's still an MRI-based Ruby, but it has optimizations from the folks that built Phusion Passenger, a rock-solid reliable Ruby app server. Repository options are available for RHEL and Ubuntu Linux.
- Fullstaq Ruby: Ruby 3.2 & YJIT DEBs/RPMs for all
- Fullstaq Ruby now provides DEBs/RPMs for Ruby 3.1.0

Fullstaq Ruby now packages Ruby 3.0.2, 2.7.4 and 2.6.8
Sorry for this late release. We normally release new Ruby versions in one day, but this time we got delayed by the fact that Bintray — on which we hosted our DEB/RPM packages — sunsetted. So we had to [develop a new APT and YUM repository and publishing system](https://github.com/fullstaq-labs/fullstaq-ruby-server-edition/discussions/78) from scratch.

Meta Used Monolithic Architecture to Ship Threads in Only Five Months
Meta is actually contributing directly to upstream cpython. If you really wanted to, the internal fork is also open source: https://github.com/facebookincubator/cinder
- Meta pledges Three-Year sponsorship for Python if GIL removal is accepted
- Back end of Meta Threads is built with Python 3.10 with some interesting tweaks

Lessons from Mojo for PHP 10+ ?
Just one example: last year Meta open-sourced Cinder, which powers Instagram and provides sizeable speedups compared to CPython.
- Python true static typing

Best book on writing an optimizing compiler (inlining, types, abstract interpretation)?
I used to work on the Cinder JIT and can help document any passes you find interesting or confusing.

Python-based compiler achieves orders-of-magnitude speedups
You might enjoy Cinder then. It's based on CPython so it is nearly 100% compatible.

Disclaimer: I used to work on it.

beartype: It has documentation now. It only took two years, my last hair follicle, precious sanity points (SPs), and working with Sphinx. Don't be like @leycec. Go hard on documentation early.
I think Cinder's Static Python, which also performs runtime type checking, is more ambitious. Though it's not production ready yet.

If there’s gonna be a Python 4.0 one day, what’s a breaking change you’d like to see? Let’s explore the ideas you have that can make Python even better!
Here's a fork that implements that https://github.com/facebookincubator/cinder - it might be nice to one day get that up streamed but obviously it'll be controversial and it certainly needs more time to bake. Hopefully at some point we can make it a pip installable extension though.

Is it time for Python to have a statically-typed, compiled, fast superset?
The other thing that was interesting to me, was the potential of type annotations to help make for a faster, safer experience on the compiler end of things. One example is seen in Meta’s Cinder project, on the docs it explains how typing can be used to reduce the number of steps for the compiler ([cinder/static_python.rst at cinder/3.8 · facebookincubator/cinder · GitHub](https://github.com/facebookincubator/cinder/blob/cinder/3.8/CinderDoc/static_python.rst)), making it more effective.
