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.

RunWithScissors() (2009)
The documentation is itself fairly funny, for those who don’t care to click ahead:
> This "function" has a superficial similarity to ‘unsafePerformIO’ but it is in fact a malevolent agent of chaos. It unpicks the seams of reality (and the IO monad) so that the normal rules no longer apply. It lulls you into thinking it is reasonable, but when you are not looking it stabs you in the back and aliases all of your mutable buffers. The carcass of many a seasoned Haskell programmer lie strewn at its feet.

Monthly Hask Anything (July 2022)
If you bring in efficient strings from bytestring, densely packed arrays from vector, and an in-place sort from vector-algorithms, you can bring it down to 275ms (uses 19MB of mem).

Beginner level tutorial - bytestring
I've opened https://github.com/haskell/bytestring/issues/455 so the situation can be improved. You're very welcome to chime in on the discussion or to contribute some of the missing documentation yourself! :)

Dragging Haskell Kicking and Screaming into the Century of the Fruitbat :: Reasonably Polymorphic
Well, ByteString in particular should not have an IsString instance in a new report. That's pretty clear by https://github.com/haskell/bytestring/issues/140 : the concensus is that there is no good solution right now, but it should not have gotten an IsString instance in the first place. If a theoretical new Haskell Report 202x includes OverloadedStrings (as it should) to handle string literals analogously to numeric literals, I'd expect it to not give ByteString (which is really just a collection of octets) an IsString instance, with all it's issues and rattail due to the encoding question being implicitized.

How can Haskell programmers tolerate Space Leaks?
Standard streaming libraries. They are being written by people that make the effort to understand performance and I have a hope that they make sure their streams run in linear space under any optimizations. It is curious and unsettling that we have standard lazy text and byte streams at the same time — and the default lazy lists, of course. I have been doing some work on byte streams and what I found out is that there is no way to check that your folds are actually space constant even if the value in question is a primitive, like say a byte — thunks may explode and then collapse over the run time of a single computation, defying any effort at inspection.

ffizz: Build a Beautiful C API in Rust
Rust supports two kinds of FFI: calling into Rust from another language; and calling into another language from Rust. Most of the thought and tooling that exists right now is organized around the second kind. For example, bindgen is a popular tool that generates useful Rust wrappers from a C or C++ header file.

Best practices in creating a Rust API for a C++ library? Seeking advice from those who've done it before.
I have looked into bindgen, but found that it would not be feasible due to OMPL not having a C API, just C++.
-
the graphics driver doesn't work on gentoo.
Yes! Are you running LLVM version 16.0.0 or newer, by any chance? I believe this is an issue with some builds of bindgen with newer versions of LLVM. See https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-bindgen/issues/2488
-
Any sort of plugin engine with dynamic load ability and any limitations?
On native, you have to define a C API, probably using a header file. Even if both sides are implemented in Rust, they have to speak that C API (documentation).

How can I use rust libraries in C++

Issue resolving dependencies when linking C libraries
I am trying to use rust-bindgen (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-bindgen) to link a static C library (say `libexample.a`) which is compiled in a separate project with CMake. The `libexample.a` depends on other libraries (for example `libcurl.a`) installed on the system.

I implemented a NASA image compression algorithm
It looks like the guy you're replying too was kind of an ass, but I do want to point out for anyone else reading that that's not actually that much of a technical limitation: rust code can natively call C code. The main thing you need is a translation of the C library's header file so rustc knows what C functions and structs exist, and that can be automatically generated with bindgen.

Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here (5/2023)!
It's quite the different approach, but you could consider using bindgen instead.

Control hardware using c# or c++ API (dll)
Use bindgen or CXX to create Rust bindings for the C or C++ libraries.
