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.

Polars
Real-world performance is complicated since data science covers a lot of use cases.
If you're just reading a small CSV to do analysis on it, then there will be no human-perceptible difference between Polars and Pandas. If you're reading a larger CSV with 100k rows, there still won't be much of a perceptible difference.
Per this (old) benchmark, there are differences once you get into 500MB+ territory: https://h2oai.github.io/db-benchmark/

DuckDB performance improvements with the latest release
I do think it was important for duckdb to put out a new version of the results as the earlier version of that benchmark [1] went dormant with a very old version of duckdb with very bad performance, especially against polars.

Pandas vs. Julia – cheat sheet and comparison
I agree with your conclusion but want to add that switching from Julia may not make sense either.
According to these benchmarks: https://h2oai.github.io/db-benchmark/, DF.jl is the fastest library for some things, data.table for others, polars for others. Which is fastest depends on the query and whether it takes advantage of the features/properties of each.
For what it's worth, data.table is my favourite to use and I believe it has the nicest ergonomics of the three I spoke about.

Any faster Python alternatives?
Same. Numba does wonders for me in most scenarios. Yesterday I've discovered pola-rs and looks like I will add it to the stack. It's API is similar to pandas. Have a look at the benchmarks of cuDF, spark, dask, pandas compared to it: Benchmarks

Pandas 2.0 (with pyarrow) vs Pandas 1.3 - Performance comparison
The syntax has similarities with dplyr in terms of the way you chain operations, and it’s around an order of magnitude faster than pandas and dplyr (there’s a nice benchmark here). It’s also more memory-efficient and can handle larger-than-memory datasets via streaming if needed.

Python "programmers" when I show them how much faster their naive code runs when translated to C++ (this is a joke, I love python)
Bad examples. Both numpy and pandas are notoriously un-optimized packages, losing handily to pretty much all their competitors (R, Julia, kdb+, vaex, polars). See https://h2oai.github.io/db-benchmark/ for a partial comparison.

Tips on adding JSON output to your command line utility. (2021)
It's also supported by simdjson [0] (which has a lot of language bindings [1]):

Use any web browser as GUI, with Zig in the back end and HTML5 in the front end
String parsing is negligible compared to the speed of the DOM which is glacially slow: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38835920
Come on, people, make an effort to learn how insanely fast computers are, and how insanely inefficient our software is.
String parsing can be done at gigabytes per second: https://github.com/simdjson/simdjson If you think that is the slowest operation in the browser, please find some resources that talk about what is actually happening in the browser?

Cray-1 performance vs. modern CPUs
Thanks for all the detailed information! That answers a bunch of my questions and the implementation of strlen is nice.
The instruction I was thinking of is pshufb. An example ‘weird’ use can be found for detecting white space in simdjson: https://github.com/simdjson/simdjson/blob/24b44309fb52c3e2c5...
This works as follows:
1. Observe that each ascii whitespace character ends with a different nibble.
2. Make some vector of 16 bytes which has the white space character whose final nibble is the index of the byte, or some other character with a different final nibble from the byte (eg first element is space =0x20, next could be eg 0xff but not 0xf1 as that ends in the same nibble as index)
3. For each block where you want to find white space, compute pcmpeqb(pshufb(whitespace, input), input). The rules of pshufb mean (a) non-ascii (ie bit 7 set) characters go to 0 so will compare false, (b) other characters are replaced with an element of whitespace according to their last nibble so will compare equal only if they are that whitespace character.
I’m not sure how easy it would be to do such tricks with vgather.vv. In particular, the length of the input doesn’t matter (could be longer) but the length of white space must be 16 bytes. I’m not sure how the whole vlen stuff interacts with tricks like this where you (a) require certain fixed lengths and (b) may have different lengths for tables and input vectors. (and indeed there might just be better ways, eg you could imagine an operation with a 256-bit register where you permute some vector of bytes by sign-extending the nth bit of the 256-bit register into the result where the input byte is n).

Codebases to read
Additionally, if you like low level stuff, check out libfmt (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt) - not a big project, not difficult to understand. Or something like simdjson (https://github.com/simdjson/simdjson).

Building a high performance JSON parser
Everything you said is totally reasonable. I'm a big fan of napkin math and theoretical upper bounds on performance.
simdjson (https://github.com/simdjson/simdjson) claims to fully parse JSON on the order of 3 GB/sec. Which is faster than OP's Go whitespace parsing! These tests are running on different hardware so it's not apples-to-apples.
The phrase "cannot go faster than this" is just begging for a "well ackshully". Which I hate to do. But the fact that there is an existence proof of Problem A running faster in C++ SIMD than OP's Probably B scalar Go is quite interesting and worth calling out imho. But I admit it doesn't change the rest of the post.

New package : lspce - a simple LSP Client for Emacs
I have same question as /u/JDRiverRun : how do you deal with JSON, do you parse json on Rust side or on Emacs side. I see that you are requiring json.el in your lspce.el, but I haven't looked through entire file carefully. If you parse on Rust side, do you use simdjson (there are at least two Rust bindings to it)? If yes, what are your impressions, experiences compared to more "standard" json library?
