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.

My Rust program (Well, game) is leaking memory, 4MB/s.
I've found bytehound helpful for tracking memory leaks: https://github.com/koute/bytehound
-
Show HN: I wrote a tool in Rust for tracking all allocations in a Linux process
Interesting approach. How is performance compared to something like https://github.com/koute/bytehound
-
Introducing alloc-track: Precise memory profiling by stack trace and thread.
https://github.com/koute/bytehound is another tool in this space to be aware of
- Out of the loop: WASM for non-web projects
- Which gui crate would you suggest for a simple program?
-
Implementing a C++ memory allocator to track our framework memory usage
Ot sure if it will fit your needs but maybe bytehound is worth looking into.

Memory leak in a long running process.
I had a great success recently with https://github.com/koute/bytehound/issues/86
- Hi, I’m new in rust, I have some expirience with c# and its classes ans structs. I can’t find information about that is happend with struct in rust when I pass it to function argument. Are there some copy effect ?
- Does rust have a visual analysis tool for memory and performance like pprof of golang?
-
Memory freed but not immediately
Try using this: https://github.com/koute/bytehound

Bring garbage collected programming languages efficiently to WebAssembly
It may take some time for WasmGC to be usable by .NET. Based on the discussions the first version of WasmGC does not have a good way to handle a few .NET specific scenarios, and said scenarios are "post-post-mvp". [0]
My concern, of course, is that there is not much incentive for those features to be added if .NET is the only platform that needs them... at that point having a form of 'include' (to where a specific GC version can just be cached and loaded by another WASM assembly) would be more useful, despite the pain it would create.

WasmGC – Compile and run GC languages such as Kotlin, Java in Chrome browser
Yes, that's definitely true: a single GC will not be optimal for everything, or even possible. Atm interior pointers are not supported at all, for example, but they are on the roadmap for later:
https://github.com/WebAssembly/gc/blob/main/proposals/gc/Pos...
What launched now is enough WasmGC to support a big and useful set of languages (Java, Kotlin, Dart, OCaml, Scheme), but a lot more work will be required here!

Learn WebAssembly by writing small programs
GC proposal is from 2018: https://github.com/WebAssembly/proposals/issues/16 and there’s code: https://github.com/WebAssembly/gc/blob/master/proposals/gc/O...
Seems like an awefully long time for progress to be made, given all the possibilities it would unlock.

The state of modern Web development and perspectives on improvements
First is the size. Writing a server-side and client-side program is possible with Rust, and the resulting WASM package will be small enough. At the same time, Microsoft Blazor converts C# code to WASM, but the client delivery has to include the reduced .NET runtime, taking several megabytes for a script. The same is true for GoLang, even with an attempt to reduce the runtime delivery in TinyGo WASM. Developers want to work with their favorite languages, whether it is Java, Kotlin, Dart, C#, F#, Swift, Ruby, Python, C, C++, GoLang, or Rust. These languages produce groups of runtimes. For example, JVM and .NET have many common parts, Ruby and Python are dynamically interpreted at runtime, and all mentioned depend on automatic garbage collection. For smaller WASM packages, browser vendors can include extended runtime implementations, for example, by delivering a general garbage collector as part of WASM. Garbage collection support by WASM is currently in progress: WASM GC, .NET WASM Notes.

Douglas Crockford: “We should stop using JavaScript”
My understanding is that the main limitation is technical. WASM doens't do GC or the host system calling conventions and cannot interact directly with object from Javascript because of this. However, this is being worked[0] on and will be solved eventually. Even without this the performance overhead of bridging to JS is low enough that WASM frameworks can beat out React.

Question: WasmGC and state shared with JS with Kotlin/wasm or Multiplatform?
I’ve just watched a video on YouTube from Google I/O 2023 on Flutter for the web. Kevin Moore explains that Flutter can compile to Wasm, but now that GC support has been added to the standard and WasmGC is supported in Chromium and Firefox, I’m quite intrigued.

Will implementing garbage collection in WebAssembly speed up Blazor?
I have found the main thread about using WebAssembly GC in C#: https://github.com/WebAssembly/gc/issues/77. If I understand it correctly, it is not possible to use the current prototype version of GC in C#.

Blazor United - When it ships it would be the most glorious way to do web with .NET
The .net team has given their notes on it, the concern is more on the memory layout from what I remember. Though it may be possible still. The runtime would likely still ship some gc code, but only a subset for cases not supported by the wasm gc itself and a few more for interfacing with the gc service, which overall should still result on smaller payloads compared to current sizes.
