Sources: GitHub REST API, npm registry downloads, PyPI registry metadata, pypistats.org downloads. Most recent observation 3h ago. Where a row is marked, ▲ is the highest of the values shown and ▼ the lowest — arithmetic on the figures above, not a ranking or a recommendation. Rows where neither extreme is meaningful are left unmarked rather than given a direction they do not have.
