stack-graphs VS RustPython

https://github.com/pyjarrett/septum

The hardest part about getting code search right imo is grabbing the right amount of surrounding context, which septum is aimed at solving on a per-file basis.

Another one I'm surprised hasn't been mentioned is stack-graphs (https://github.com/github/stack-graphs), which tries to incrementally resolve symbolic relationships across the whole codebase. It powers github's cross-file precise indexing and conceptually makes a lot of sense, though I've struggled to get the open source version to work

I don't think what you are saying is actually true for stack-graphs[0][1].

I think GitHub still has some use for tree-sitter. In this post it's mentioned that their new code navigation system is based on tree-sitter. In a more recent post they welcome contributers to add special code navigation queries to existing languages. You can find their public repository here if you want to follow along with any developments. Since their code navigation system relies heavily on tree-sitter I don't think it's going anywhere soon (fingers crossed).

Which they implement in Rust. https://github.com/github/stack-graphs

As mentioned elsewhere on this thread, stack graphs and Semantic were built by the same team (which I manage). Semantic is not abandoned, we've just been focusing on a different layer of our tech stack for the past year or so. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29501389

That PR on the Semantic repo was our first attempt at implementing these ideas. We decided to reimplement it in a separate library (also open source, https://github.com/github/stack-graphs), which only builds on tree-sitter directly so that there's an easier story for us and language communities to add support for new languages. It's a fair point that we could have closed the Semantic PR to indicate that more clearly.

No.

…and this one is no exception -> https://github.com/RustPython/RustPython/issues/1940

Packages that rely on c dependencies like numpy, etc. only work if you write a custom implementation by hand; the “normal” package flat out doesn’t (and cannot) work.

The title would be accurate if this project (https://rustpython.github.io/) was becoming the official version of Python.

If you absolutely need something comparable to Sympy, then one option might be to figure out how to best call Sympy from Rust. e.g. - RustPython, although it seems like Sympy isn't supported yet - Pyodide, and figuring out how to run it outside of a web browser. Probably also not very easy. - PyPy, and having a pretty simple Python binary for every platform - ...

I'm actually rooting for RustPython to reach a level of maturity that we'd just be able to ship apis and stuff with it.... https://github.com/RustPython/RustPython

Good question and it also actual for: python 3.12, RustPython and xonsh binary.
