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.

Does anyone here work in gamedev with Rust as their primary language?
I work at Embark Studios on our creative platform. Our team is building everything in rust.

Rust tops StackOverflow Survey 2022 as the most loved language for the 7th year.
Tons of big companies are using it: Amazon, Discord, Cloudflare, etc. You can read about their success stories. As for game development, Veloren is a pretty complex game, and it's written entirely in Rust. Embark is betting on Rust for their game dev projects. ECS makes the dream work here, but an Actor framework would work too. You don't need DI. For example, in the web services I write using Actix, application state (stuff like clients for redis or http, db connection pool, etc.) is stored globally, and shared through the application state extractor. No dependency injection, but accessing that global state is just as convenient as if it was DI. If it's shared across workers, you put it behind a mutex/rwlock or use a concurrent data structure.

which concerns of the game dev industry does the committee NOT address ?
https://embark.dev/ is a major player in the rust ecosystem right now. They look like they are aiming for more of a startup feel rather than an indie one.
-
What are some Rust-using companies in Sweden?
We are at Embark! https://embark.dev/, https://embark.rs, https://embark.games.
-
Are there any remote non-crypto Rust jobs?
Is a remote-first culture, Rust-only team building our game platform from scratch on all levels and all types of code (gameplay, engine, generalists, backend, research/ml), and with a strong focus on open source.

What are the most important programs to learn/know to become a 3D environment artist for game development?
Tons of game studios are using Blender in production. And for environment creation 3dsMax is much more popular in games. 2 Blender examples: - Embark: https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/blender-tools - Ubisoft: https://github.com/ubisoft/mixer

Voronoi, Manhattan, random
As an alternative, you can code in C++ or C#. If desired, Godot has bindings for other languages, such as Rust. Going ahead—in the end, C++ came in handy and useful for the project.

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
socketio: https://github.com/1c3t3a/rust-socketio/blob/main/socketio/C...

Godot 4.1 Is Released
Starting with Godot 4.0, they now support GDExtension which allows you to basically write your own game code in C++ (and other languages), then have the engine import your code: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/scripting/g.... There is also a set of Rust bindings that utilize GDExtension too: https://github.com/godot-rust/gdext.
They might be worth looking into.

Bevy, Fyrox or Godot, which has better 3D graphics performance and Wayland support?
Godot currently has 2 versions, the 3.X LTS version has a different api for which rust support ist fully there, that version is I think like 6months old and quite mature. The timeline for GDExtention Rust is difficult to predict but this is the status: https://github.com/godot-rust/gdext/issues/24
-
What is Rust's potential in game development?
Adding onto this, I successfully written a game in Godot using gdnative / gdext. I started with a split approach using gdscript and rust for CPU intensive but found that the API layer was slow at transferring large amounts of data (serialization?). I ended up rewriting it in all rust and it worked like a charm. I was able to target native and web assembly, the web assembly was much slower but worked on the browser.

Thinking of migrating from Roblox, have some questions
You can always port performance-sensitive parts of your code later to C#, or even Rust using GDExtension modules: https://github.com/godot-rust/gdext

Adding scripts written in Rust to nodes with GDExtension
I’ve recently switched from my own custom game engine written in Rust to Godot and want to use my knowledge in Rust to create game logic. I’ve looked at the book for godot-rust and can’t figure out how to use it properly. My goal is to write Rust code and implement it as a script in Godot 4.

Really frustrated. [Warning: Bit of a negative rant]
To add to your point, here’s also godot-rust if you want something semi-native in godot
