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.

why GNU grep is fast
For things that are commonly and almost-ideally represented as text files, there’s a lot of Rust based alternatives are faster and have more features than the old unix/GNU tools: ripgrep, fd, cw, and you can find more in this list.

A wc clone, written in Go
Nice, beats my old Rust wc through sheer brute force on my old 12c/24t server:

How to learn Rust by own tiny applications?
A lot of unix-y tools have been rewritten in rust, where the usefulness comes from it being faster or having more features. Examples: bat, cw, lsd, ripgrep, diskonaut, gping. Maybe you could find an interesting program to rewrite?

Debian Running on Rust Coreutils
Having written a Rust wc implementation a few years ago (https://github.com/Freaky/cw), I had a look at theirs.
It's pretty naive - a simple linewise read_until loop, a conditional to avoid word splitting and such if it's not needed, and for some reason it collects results into an array and prints when it's done rather than printing as it goes.
It doesn't support --files0-from like GNU wc, so isn't a drop-in replacement from that perspective. It also has the sadly common Rust trope of only supporting filenames that are valid UTF-8.
It doesn't seem overly slow considering its simplicity - usually trading blows with GNU and BSD wc. Perhaps the most glaring omission is the lack of a fast path for -c, which should reduce to a stat() call. Also unfortunate not to use the excellent bytecount crate to provide a very fast -l/m path.
The read_until loop also makes its memory use unpredictable compared with other wc's. If you run it on /dev/zero it will try to eat your computer.

Curl is now a CVE Numbering Authority
No need to use curl, make HTTP requests great again with https://github.com/ducaale/xh

Why people in Google hate Go?
Except when you actually enjoy things being fast. For example, HTTPie easily adds 0.5-1s delay to every request because it's written in Python, especially on the first invocation. xh (https://github.com/ducaale/xh), on the other hand, starts immediately because it's written in Rust. I very much like this trend.

HTTPie Desktop: cross-platform API testing client for humans
HTTPie is great and was a big improvement for me over cURL.
However, I ended up switching to xh[1] as it's significantly faster and I prefer its output.

Tell HN: Postman just wiped all my stuff
No, but unless portability is a concern or you're massively familiar with curl, you might want to consider xh. It's much more intuitive.

The curl-wget Venn diagram
wget on the other hand, automatically converts the ñ to UTF-8 hex and resolves the link perfectly.
I've searched the curl manpage and couldn't find a way to solve this. Please help.
I'm having to use `xh --curl` [1] to "fix" the links before I pass them to curl.

Very nice, you should add xh to the User-Agents though.

I Could Rewrite Curl
While not a rewrite - one recent tool for making http requests which i quite enjoy is:
https://github.com/ducaale/xh
It's basically python httpie rewritten in rust. my only gripe is that i keep forgetting that it exists - and that "xh" is for http and "xhs" is for https.
So i frequently end up with curl anyway:)
