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.

What happens in a garbage collection system where only a local variable in the host language has a pointer to an object?
Check out our handle implementation here.

Would it be good to add inconsistency to add a small string variant in the value payload?
This is what we did in Skybison and it worked just fine.

The Toit language is now open source
The codebases have very similar naming patterns and structures that mean that once you've read one, the others are much easier to understand. Check out, for example, Dart's VM. Or https://github.com/facebookexperimental/skybison

Faster Python with Guido van Rossum
Guido appears to have meant to refer to Skybison (https://github.com/facebookexperimental/skybison), which is not 100% compatible.

In particular, what was the performance impact of your moving GC? (The documentation for the GC, https://github.com/facebookexperimental/skybison/blob/trunk/doc/garbage-collection.md, appears to be a dead link, is it present somewhere?)

A Python-compatible statically typed language erg-lang/erg
Erg looks fun for small programs. Though Erg's syntax choices seem less Pythonic than I'd expected. Interesting though, some of the idioms seem handy.
Though Nim definitely can be described as a statically typed Python-compatible language! I haven't used them but https://github.com/Pebaz/nimporter https://github.com/yglukhov/nimpy both seem great. Nimporter in particular looks fantastic for writing fast python libraries.
Actually come to think of it that might be the easiest way to write fast KiCad 6 plugins.. I really want to try making a native KiCad autorouter. But I don't want to figure out the C++ plugin setup and since KiCad 6 the Python APIs seem better documented and supported anyways. Problem is that Python would likely be too slow. Nimporter could be perfect. It looks really simple to setup.

Comparing a Rust extension to other methods of speeding up python
nimpy + nimporter is getting fairly mature. I've had my eye on the libraries for awhile now and I'm starting to seriously consider adding Nim to the build pipeline at werk.

Nim -- a modern "glue" language like Python
c2nim is a tool to translate ANSI C code to Nim. The output is human-readable Nim code that is meant to be tweaked by hand after the translation process. If you are tired of wrapping C library, you can try futhark which supports "simply import C header files directly into Nim". Similar to futhark, cinterop allows one to interop with C/C++ code without having to create wrappers. nimLUA is a glue code generator to bind Nim and Lua together using Nim's powerful macro. nimpy and nimporter is a bridge between Nim and Python. rnim is a bridge between R and Nim. nimjl is a bridge between Nim and Julia! Last but not least, genny generates a shared library and bindings for many languages such as Python, Node.js, C.

Genny – Generate Nim library bindings for many languages
For the specific case of Python executing Nim code you might be interested in [nimporter](https://github.com/Pebaz/nimporter) instead. Genny would definitely work for you as well, but it seems to be more geared towards creating libraries in Nim that can be imported by multiple languages.

nimterop - Nimterop is a Nim package that aims to make C/C++ interop seamless
Nim - Nim is a statically typed compiled systems programming language. It combines successful concepts from mature languages like Python, Ada and Modula. Its design focuses on efficiency, expressiveness, and elegance (in that order of priority).
nimjl - A bridge between Nim-lang and Julia !

c2nim - c2nim is a tool to translate Ansi C code to Nim. The output is human-readable Nim code that is meant to be tweaked by hand before and after the translation process.
