The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
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.

- How to Get Started with Scikit-Learn: A Beginner-Friendly Guide to Machine Learning in Python
As is the case with most Python libraries, it is open-source and free-to-use, making it easily accessible by anyone willing to learn machine learning, and it is built upon other open-source libraries within Python, like SciPy for advanced scientific operations, NumPy for efficient numerical computations, Matplotlib for data visualization, and Cython for increased efficiency and speed, similar to that of C/C++.

- Using Rust to corrode insane Python run-times
Difficult to draw conclusions with no code here.
An interesting thing they didn't mention is that Matplotlib's point-in-path code is actually already in C. So this isn't really a case of Rust being X times faster than Python, it's X times faster than some other C algorithm. That's probably why X is only ~4 (they don't actually give a single-thread comparison), instead of ~50.

I expect the Rust code is faster because that code is waaaaay more complicated than what they probably need (https://stackoverflow.com/q/11716268/265521) - e.g. it handles stroke widths.
IMO this result is not very interesting.

Sinatra is fine as long as you have a small number of routes, because its router is O(n): https://github.com/sinatra/sinatra/blob/ac5404dbd897a4b3c5b3921d2f89fecd3b540ed3/lib/sinatra/base.rb#L1008-L1010
