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.

Keyword Generics Progress Report: February 2023 | Inside Rust Blog
I think it's fairer to say the language got so much more powerful that there wasn't any point making actors a language feature when they can be built from existing orthogonal language features. You're probably looking for actix (not actix-web, just actix). There's also Lunatic built in Rust but supporting any actors compiled to WebAssembly.

An Open Source Rust SNMP Simulator
Actix is an actor framework for developing concurrent applications built on top of the Tokio asynchronous runtime. It allows multiple actors to run on a single thread, but also allows actors to run on multiple threads via Arbiters. Actors can communicate with each other by sequentially exchanging typed messages.

I’ve seen frameworks for c++ (https://seastar.io/) and rust (https://github.com/actix/actix) which support what you’re describing out of the box.

Anyone using Actix?
The actix repository on github doesn't seem to be very active, and everyone seems to be focused on actix-web instead, is anyone out there using plain actix or any other actor-model implementation in Rust?

What programming languages are most used for creating advanced math-related software/simulations?
Rust is also another possibility: it's basically C++ but more modern with added features and safety. It can be tricky to write mathematical stuff in it, because you may not care too much about all the safety concerns Rust forces you to handle, but it can be useful to catch bugs ahead of times. Sadly, Rust seems to have no library for running programs on clusters of PCs, except maybe this one, which takes the Actor model implemented by Actix and runs it on a cluster. I don't know how tricky it is to use the Actor model for a scientific simulation, tho.

How should I structure an async/await/futures program with multiple event sources and mutable state?
I'd just use Actix for that. Make your state an actor and make it a StreamHandler for each of these sources, and that's it - now you just implement the business logic for handling each message in the StreamHandler::handle methods.

18 factors powering the Rust revolution, Part 2 of 3
However, this isn't even 50% of what's out there: Need raw parallel power (and maybe don't need an async runtime)? Checkout Rayon. Need simple Actors for concurrent processing? Checkout Actix. Need a larger Actor system for fault tolerance/CQRS messaging? Checkout Riker. Damn, I sound like a youtube advert 🤦 - For real though, this is the tip of the concurrency iceberg. There is so much more - and it's growing.

CSS for Printing to Paper
> Is there any easy to use/hack HTML layouting engine where I could experiment with custom CSS attributes and bridge that gap? Would anything from Servo be suitable?
Servo could be used for this. You'd want to add support for parsing the CSS properties themselves to the style crate in https://github.com/servo/stylo and then the layout implementation to the layout2020 crate in https://github.com/servo/servo. You do effectively get a whole browser though.
I'm currently working on building a lighter weight / hackable layout engine based on a combination of https://github.com/servo/stylo (for css parsing and selector resolution), https://github.com/DioxusLabs/taffy (for box-level layout) and https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-text (for flow/inline layout). I expect to have something decent in around 6 months
Neither of these setups currently have any support for pagination though.

The Ladybird Browser Project
Great to see some competition still alive in browser engine development. See also Servo (previously part of Mozilla) https://servo.org/ - that and Ladybird are still very underdeveloped compared to every day browsers.
It's a huge shame that there are no nightly builds of ladybird to try out but I assume that's because they just don't want the bug reports (if everything doesn't work it's pointless getting random bugs filed).

Modern Java/JVM Build Practices
The world has moved on though to opinionated tools, and Rust isn't even the furthest in that direction (That would be Go). The equivalent of those two lines in Cargo.toml would be this example of a basic configuration from the jacoco-maven-plugin: https://www.jacoco.org/jacoco/trunk/doc/examples/build/pom.x... - That's 40 lines in the section to do the "defaults".
Yes, you could add a load of config for files to include/exclude from coverage and so on, but the idea that that's a norm is way more common in Java projects than other languages. Like here's some example Cargo.toml files from complicated Rust projects:
Servo: https://github.com/servo/servo/blob/main/Cargo.toml
rust-gdext: https://github.com/godot-rust/gdext/blob/master/godot-core/C...
ripgrep: https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/blob/master/Cargo.toml

❓ Is Google flagging activity from Firefox and targeting uBlock?
It won't don't worry. There already are forks, for the worst case scenario. And Servo is on its way. Not yet ready, but it will be. Originally, from Mozilla kitchen.

Populating the page: how browsers work
To pain broad strokes, the layout phase (~= take the HTML, take the CSS, determine the position and size of boxes) is largely sequential in production browser engine today. Selector matching (~= what CSS applies to what element) is parallel in Firefox today, via the Stylo Rust crate originally developed in the research browser engine Servo. Servo can do parallel layout in some capacity (but doesn't implement everything), https://github.com/servo/servo/wiki/Servo-Layout-Engines-Rep... is an interesting and recent document on the matter.
Parallel layout is generally considered to be a complex engineering problem by domain experts.
https://hacks.mozilla.org/2017/08/inside-a-super-fast-css-en... is a really cool article that is related, that is a few years old but what it says is largely correct today.

Rusty revenant Servo returns to render once more
[Article author/submitter here]
I can only tell you that it is not what this is about, inasmuch as I was at the talk and there was not a single mention of Firefox Reality or Wolvic in the talk.
Wolvic might use Servo – but I think if it did they would mention it, right?
The talk didn't and the word "Wolvic" does not occur anywhere on https://servo.org
So I am guessing not, no.
Igalia has -- or rather is because it's a co-op -- about 100 developers. They are not all working on the same thing.
