Just browsed juliapackages [sorting by github stars](https://juliapackages.com/packages?sort=stars) and found that, while in these years I heard more or less of all the main packages, the one at the very top, with more that double the stars of the second one, I never heard about.

Is it just me ?

That package shows the stars of its parent repository. So it gets unusually many stars for a Julia package.

DuckDB.jl lives inside the main DuckDB repo (see [General/D/DuckDB/Package.toml at master · JuliaRegistries/General · GitHub](https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General/blob/master/D/DuckDB/Package.toml) - it lives [here](https://github.com/duckdb/duckdb/tree/main/tools/juliapkg)), so it has a lot of stars for other reasons.
