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.

AWS Libcrypto for Rust
Again, this is just a temporary situation, and a matter of burning down a list of small tasks. Not that the OpenSSL license issue is a big deal for most anyway. Feel free to help; see this issue filed by Josh Triplett: https://github.com/briansmith/ring/issues/1318#issuecomment-...

A brief guide to choosing TLS crates
Note also that rustls depends on ring, which has architecture-dependent code in it that is not as widely compatible as eg. OpenSSL/GnuTLS/Mbed-TLS. For example, MIPS is not supported by ring.

Releasing Rust Binaries with GitHub Actions - Part 2
The AWS Rust library we were using as a dependency depended on a cryptography library called ring. This library leverages C and assembly code to implement its cryptographic primitives. Unfortunately, cross compiling when C is involved can add complexity to the build process. While it might've been possible to overcome these issues I decided that it wasn't worth digging into more.

Urgent Upcoming OpenSSL release patches critical vulnerability
That'd be great. Thanks Brian. Re: making ring portable to all platforms: IBM have been graciously maintaining a up to date patchset for Ring for years now and there's an outstanding PR here you may not have seen since they filed it in 2020... https://github.com/briansmith/ring/pull/1057

OpenSSL Security Advisory [5 July 2022]
Beyond the simple matter of Rust being much newer than OpenSSL, one concern for some cryptographic primitives is the timing side-channel.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timing_attack
In high level languages like Rust, the compiler does not prioritise trying to emit machine code which executes in constant time for all inputs. OpenSSL has implementations for some primitives which are known to be constant time, which can be important.
One option if you're working with Rust anyway would be use something like Ring:
https://github.com/briansmith/ring
Ring's primitives are just taken from BoringSSL which is Google's fork of OpenSSL, they're a mix of C and assembly language, it's possible (though fraught) to write some constant time algorithms in C if you know which compiler will be used, and of course it's possible (if you read the performance manuals carefully) to write constant time assembly in many cases.
In the C / assembly language code of course you do not have any safety benefits.
It can certainly make sense to do this very tricky primitive stuff in dangerous C or assembly, but then write all the higher level stuff in Rust, and that's the sort of thing Ring is intended for. BoringSSL for example includes code to do X.509 parsing and signature validation in C, but those things aren't sensitive, a timing attack on my X.509 parsing tells you nothing of value, and it's complicated to do correctly so Rust could make sense.

Which application/problem would you choose for presenting Rust to newcomers in 1h30min?
Do some operations with .iter() then later use rayon to parallelize. So you can show how easy is to add a dependency and how easy is to parallelize.

Moving from Typescript and Langchain to Rust and Loops
In the quest for more efficient solutions, the ONNX runtime emerged as a beacon of performance. The decision to transition from Typescript to Rust was an unconventional yet pivotal one. Driven by Rust's robust parallel processing capabilities using Rayon and seamless integration with ONNX through the ort crate, Repo-Query unlocked a realm of unparalleled efficiency. The result? A transformation from sluggish processing to, I have to say it, blazing-fast performance.

General Recommendations: Should I Use Tree-sitter as the AST for the LSP I am developing?
Sequentially, generating tree-sitter AST for each file and querying for the links of each file takes around 2.3 seconds. However, I randomly remembered this crate rayon, and I decided to test it. It ended up improving the performance (just by changing 2 lines of code) to 200-300ms by parallelizing the iterators and tree-sitter queries. MAJOR.

python to rust migration
Now if you really want to use Rust, you can rewrite only the part that are slowing down your consumer. It's easy by using Py03 and maturin. Maybe also rayon to parallelize.
