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.

What features would you consider missing/nice to haves for backend web development in Rust?
Take a look at this https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-rust

Should we switch to Rust?
Source: I'm an active contributor to the Azure SDK for Rust
- Mark Russinovich (Azure CTO): "it's time to halt starting any new projects in C/C++ and use Rust"
- `into_future` has been stabilized!

Experience 6 Months of Go
FWIW, AWS now have an official SDK for Rust in beta:
https://aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-rust/
There are people at Microsoft working on a Rust SDK for Azure, but it's explicitly a volunteer effort at the moment:
https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-rust
These days I probably would not look at any language that did not have SDKs for AWS and Azure, for similar reasons.

Help Microsoft shape the Azure SDK for Rust
Incidentally I have posted this today so if you believe in that feel free to put a thumb up there to voice support. I would be more than happy to extract the relevant parts of my code and contribute it there. https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-rust/issues/731
- Feedback on the unofficial rust SDK
- Has anyone built azure functions with Rust ? Functions with which you can say upload to a blob storage in azure ? Any GitHub repos / articles are appreciated!

What's everyone working on this week (9/2021)?
As for this week specifically, I'm trying to figure out the first bits of building a web service... aka authentication. Toying with Azure Active Directory right now, using the still-unofficial and incomplete Azure SDK for Rust. We'll see how that goes...

How do you feel about comments made by Tim Sweeney?
Meanwhile, one of the best C++ sources which community mostly think of - Chromium - starting to experience with Rust. If i'm not mistaken using https://github.com/google/autocxx

The Val Object Model : Dave Abrahams, Sean Parent, Dimitri Racordon, David Sankel
There's bindgen, cxx and autocxx. Obviously not as convenient as C++ calling C++; the more you need to interoperate with C++ code the more it makes sense to just stay with C++.

Are we reference yet? C++ references in Rust
If you want to reach the author for a correction, perhaps leave a comment on the Medium post or perhaps mention it on the autocxx PR I found this article from.

The Unicode Consortium announces ICU4X 1.0, its new high-performance internationalization library. It's written in Rust, with official C++ and JavaScript wrappers available.
Rust and C++ are not directly interoperable, but you can try to use some fancy libraries if your C++ codebase is simple. Google is taking on this gargantuan task with autocxx. I believe it is related to their exploration efforts to bring Rust to Chrome.

Mark Russinovich (Azure CTO): "it's time to halt starting any new projects in C/C++ and use Rust"
I used autocxx in a recent project and was amazed at how easy it was to call into C++ -- Rust Analyzer was even able to provide completion hints.

The State Of Rust In 2022 – De Programmatica Ipsum
Sure, they can improve C++ interop - and they have been - but that doesn't help them maintain the dozens of millions of lines of C++ they (Google, and others) currently have. Carbon is a pragmatic solution to the state of affairs in C++ that doesn't require them to rewrite all of their existing code to improve its maintainability.

Programming languages endorsed for server-side use at Meta
The areas you mentioned (CLI, web services, low level systems programming) are not mutually exclusive. Doing a good job on one doesn't mean something else is affected.
The folks who worked on the most popular command line argument parser (https://docs.rs/clap/latest/clap/#example) made a positive contribution that didn't detract from any other use case.
Similarly, the folks working on improving Rust for web services will also make it better for systems programming. In a blog post published today (https://blog.rust-lang.org/inside-rust/2022/07/27/keyword-ge...), they discuss keyword generics, a feature that will be equally helpful for `async` code and `const` functions evaluated at compile time.
There is already some interoperability with C++ (http://cxx.rs) and ongoing research into automating this interoperability (https://github.com/google/autocxx, https://github.com/google/crubit). Feels like there's enough effort

Google brands Carbon language as an 'experimental successor to C++'
That's not at all in Rust's bill, it needs an interaction layer to talk to C++. Efforts like cxx (and google's own autocxx) try to make this layer more automated and less painful, but the layer is still there, it still has a cost, and it doesn't erase the impedance mismatches between the languages.
-
Carbon Language: An experimental successor to C++
Notably Google is also investing in autocxx to make C++/Rust bidirectional interoperation easier
-
Carbon - an experimental C++ successor language
Again, not really...? A lot of the proposed ABI changes (for C++ - I don't know what they're planning for Carbon) are trivial to automatically fix if you have source access. If you don't have source access, you "only" need to maintain the ABI at the boundaries between foreign code and your code, which is quite possible (especially after the success of autocxx and related projects in the Rust <-> C++ world)
What are some alternatives?
mp4 - MP4 library, CLI tool, server
cxx - Safe interop between Rust and C++
field_names - proc-macro for accessing struct field names at runtime
rust-bindgen - Automatically generates Rust FFI bindings to C (and some C++) libraries.
rustfuif - Performance & correctness oriented beursfuif implementation in rust
TIC-80 - TIC-80 is a fantasy computer for making, playing and sharing tiny games.
profligate - Caesar cipher library with automatic letter-frequency decryption.
gdnative - Rust bindings for Godot 3
objstor - object store
carbon-lang - Carbon Language's main repository: documents, design, implementation, and related tools. (NOTE: Carbon Language is experimental; see README)
rust - Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.
jakt - The Jakt Programming Language
