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.

Adafruit Neopixel lib - fading takes a long time
I use WS2812FX library for controlling neopixels, and it performs very fast transitions. I never use the amount of LEDs that you are using, but I would suggest you give it a try. It is easy to customize as well. https://github.com/kitesurfer1404/WS2812FX

is there a ready-made light show firmware for PCB-doodling?
If you use LEDs like the WS2812 (RGB LEDs) you can use the WS2812FX library https://github.com/kitesurfer1404/WS2812FX and an Arduino nano to quickly make something with fancy led patterns. That is what I used to quickly (few minutes) create a prototype with fancy LED patterns. The library comes with many standard patterns and it only takes a few lines of code to get started. No buttons, buzzers or ordinary LEDs though.

Could FastLED do this, and how?
The library ws2812fx has a ton of wonderful effects similar to this.

[OC] My Aang and Zuko Painting on glass. Thinking of putting colored LED lights on the wall behind the frame, do you guys think it would be a good idea?
For libraries, I don't recommend the Adafruit neopixel lib. I think this is better, easier to use, more robust, and faster in ease of use and code execution. https://github.com/kitesurfer1404/WS2812FX

Getting into Robotics as a Software Engineer
No, no - I have a half a dozen RPi's of varying revisions. Since they run Linux and the SDcards are less than robust, anytime you accidentially trip the power (which to me happens several times during hardware debugging sessions) you risk scrambling the rootfs and thus need to reflash a new SDcard. Some SDcards get damaged.
I recommend using Arduino and/or Wokwi (https://wokwi.com/) to get started.

Embedded Rust Education: 2023 Reflections & 2024 Visions
More Wokwi Integration: Wokwi is an amazing embedded simulator and is great for getting started quickly. For a learner, there's no need for toolchain setup or even the purchase of hardware. There are many features as well that make it quite a flexible tool supporting a lot of features right from the browser. Users can also vote for more features. Still maybe at some point, one might want to tinker with physical hardware. However, at that point, they would have gained some confidence first. Currently, only ESP boards are supported with Rust on Wokwi. I hope for the variety to expand soon.

Need advice on Arduino projects and programming
In addition to the other great suggestions here I wanted to point out that you can practice and learn a lot for free using an online simulator such as wokwi.com and tinkercad.com (among others)! And you don't have to buy an Arduino or any parts to get started!

Arduino calender clock project
And you can prototype all of this first to get it working for free using an online simulator at sites like wokwi.com or tinkercad.com!

How do I get better at Low level programming
If you don't have the budget for real hardware consider the simulator at https://wokwi.com/ It works with Rust (at least for ESP32, haven't tried other architectures). Bonus: you can't blow up the electronics by a wiring mistake.

Have many folks played around with Chatgpt and FastLED?
I spent a bit of time today with a few FastLED programs and uploaded them to wokwi.com on a simulated Arduino Nano and a WS2812 strip of 64 LED's (not in a 2D matrix). The chatgpt requests I made were:

Jumperless: Breadboard Without Jumper
https://tinyurl.com/yr34sym6
https://wokwi.com/ is great for simple, digital only stuff.
https://fritzing.org/ will kind of lay out the PCB for you, but it's kind of a pain in the ass.
Wokwi and Fritzing are more "Breadboard Simulators" than real circuit simulators, but they do have their place.
