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 are the current hot topics in type theory and static analysis?
I would add that Equality saturation/E-graphs has become quite a hot topic recently, since their POPL21 paper, with workshops dedicated to applications of e-graphs. They have even recently been added to Cranelift as an IR for optimizations.
-
Blog Post: Next Rust Compiler
I think with Cranelift's investment into an e-graph based optimizer (https://github.com/bytecodealliance/rfcs/blob/main/accepted/cranelift-egraph.md) they are well positioned to have quite competitive performance as a backend.

Inko in 2023
They're also actively working in this area, for example the recently added equality saturation framework and the pattern matching DSL it builds on.

Wasmtime Reaches 1.0: Fast, Safe and Production Ready!
There's an RFC here: https://github.com/bytecodealliance/rfcs/pull/28 and Saúl Cabrera, the person who is leading this effort and implementing the compiler tier, has a work-in-progress draft PR here: https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/pull/4907
We discussed that a bunch in the RFC: https://github.com/bytecodealliance/rfcs/pull/14 . The conclusion was, in short, that the current Wasmtime production users didn't yet require an LTS release process, and the maintenance of an LTS is pretty onerous, so we would come up with one in the future as those requirements become more clear: https://github.com/bytecodealliance/rfcs/pull/14#discussion\_r708638804

Scriptisto: "Shebang interpreter" that enables writing scripts in compiled langs
Emacs didn't invent REPL, and it's common everywhere. For Rust: https://github.com/evcxr/evcxr/blob/main/evcxr_repl/README.m.... But heck, the compiler is reasonably fast enough that any IDE can REPL by compiling the code.
The value here is more in being able to read a script before you run it, then have it run fast, maybe tweaking something here and there. And a compiled script will run 10,000 times faster than LISP, which can be important.

Go: What We Got Right, What We Got Wrong
https://github.com/evcxr/evcxr can run Rust in a Jupyter notebook. It's not Golang but close enough.

The Hallucinated Rows Incident
The engine uses rust_decimal::Decimal to represent high precision decimal numbers, like the weight property. Serialization of RocksDB keys is done by the storekey crate. To know how Yumi's machine stores diffs, we can now ask- How does storekey serialize rust_decimal? Well, using evcxr to run Rust in Jupyter, the answer is as a null-terminated string:
- TermiC: Terminal C, Interactive C/C++ REPL shell created with BASH
- Exploring Options for Dynamic Code Changes in Rust without Recompilation (hot reloading)
- Go 1.21 will (likely) have a static toolchain on Linux

What’s an actual use case for Rust
In theory you should be able to create Rust notebooks (Jupyter notebook) using evcxr so maybe some AI, data analysis, prototyping make sense if you aim for good performance in final application (protype in evcxr and use notebook as reference to implement final application in Rust for speed and safety).

would you use rust for scripting?
You should check out evcxr
- Nannou – An open-source creative-coding framework for Rust

A Case for Rust in Deep Learning
I think you might like this project: https://github.com/google/evcxr . It brings the REPL workflow to Rust, so having fast iteration should not be an issue.
