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.

Useful libraries for data engineering in various programming languages
Python - https://github.com/stitchfix/hamilton (author here). It's great if you want your code to be always unit testable and documentation friendly, and you want to be able to visualize execution. Blog post on using it with Pandas https://link.medium.com/XhyYD9BAntb.

Cognitive Loads in Programming
Yes! As one of the creators of https://github.com/stitchfix/hamilton this was one of the aims. Simplifying the cognitive burden for those developing and managing data transforms over the course of years, and in particular for ones they didn't write!
For example in Hamilton -- we force people to write "declarative functions" which then are stitched together to create a dataflow.
E.g. example function -- my guess is that you can read and understand/guess what it does very easily.

Prefect vs other things question
For (1) there are quite a few options - prefect is one, metaflow is another, airflow, dagster, even https://github.com/stitchfix/hamilton (core contributor here), etc.

Field Lineage
If you're want to do more python https://github.com/stitchfix/hamilton allows you to model dependencies at a columnar (field) level.

[D] Is anyone working on interesting ML libraries and looking for contributors?
Take a look at https://github.com/stitchfix/hamilton - we're after contributors who can help us grow the project, e.g. make documentation great, dog fooding features and suggesting/contributing usability improvements.

Useful Python decorators for Data Scientists
For a real world example of their power, we built an entire framework (https://github.com/stitchfix/hamilton) at Stitch Fix, where a lot of cool magic is provide via decorators - see https://hamilton-docs.gitbook.io/docs/reference/api-reference/available-decorators and these two source files (https://github.com/stitchfix/hamilton/blob/main/hamilton/function_modifiers_base.py, https://github.com/stitchfix/hamilton/blob/main/hamilton/function_modifiers.py ). Note we do some non-trivial stuff via them.

unit tests
For data processing/transform code, I would recommend looking at https://github.com/stitchfix/hamilton, especially if you're trying to test pandas code. Short getting started here - https://towardsdatascience.com/how-to-use-hamilton-with-pandas-in-5-minutes-89f63e5af8f5 (disclaimer: I'm one of the authors).

Dealing with hundreds of customer/computed columns
The python package, hamilton, from Stitch Fix (https://hamilton-docs.gitbook.io/docs/) can help manage transformations on pandas dataframes. This DAG of transformations is managed separately in a file - so it can be versioned, in case the transformations change. The memory required is reduced, because only the API call tables and mapping parameter table have to be in memory. The calculated columns can be produced as needed. Just like dbt, transformations are separate from the source tables - but hamilton can be used on any python object - not just dataframes. dbt is SQL based.

Daft: Distributed DataFrame for Python
There are benchmarks here - https://github.com/Eventual-Inc/Daft?tab=readme-ov-file#benc.... Seems to outperform Dask by a fair bit.

Daft: A High-Performance Distributed Dataframe Library for Multimodal Data
Hi (one of the maintainers here), that is a good suggestion! I wasn't aware of that project. I went ahead and made an issue to add `export DO_NOT_TRACK=1` as one of the variables we track! https://github.com/Eventual-Inc/Daft/issues/1015
-
Daft: The Distributed Python Dataframe
We are looking at supporting other distributed backends as well - please drop by our discussion forums (https://github.com/Eventual-Inc/Daft/discussions) and drop us a message if you have any suggestions! We’d love to hear from you :)
