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.

Transitioning to Rust as a company
CI time. Do you want to micromanage your own docker images for all your CI? Great! If not, yes you do. In fact, you want to manage a docker image to build a docker image to use for CI. Use cargo-chef to prepare a build image with your dependencies pre-built if you want to do fine-grained build/test pipelines. Oh also, there's no jUnit test report generation, that was killed off today. (YES, SORRY, I'm still salty.)

Rust and Next.js everywhere?
Have you looked at cargo-chef? It supposedly speeds up compilation times if you're using Docker.

Exploring the problem of faster Cargo Docker builds
A tool already exists for this called Cargo-chef, and it works extremely well.

Deploying Rust APIs | What Is Your Favorite Method?
At work I've use Dockerfile and cargo-chef to improve build times. You can also look into buildkit cache mounts, but this approach is rarely super effective on hosted CI because they start from scratch on most runs. In the context of Rust specifically you may also see the target directory reflect unbounded data growth if it's reused over and over across revisions. because cargo by default won't expire older intermediate artifacts. Cargo-sweep can help with that but I wouldn't pursue this in a CI effort. This will affect both "native" builds and buildkit cache mounts if you're persisting the target directory.

How to write a GitHub Action in Rust
We create an empty Rust binary with cargo new, this is a simple way to get Docker layer caching to work. For a more robust solution, you may want to check out cargo-chef.

Crafting container images without Dockerfiles
If this ends up being a cleaner/easier way to having to workaround super expensive rebuilds for Rust given cache + deps compared to this https://github.com/LukeMathWalker/cargo-chef , reading this thread will have been a huge win for me (and hopefully others).
Whether introducing Bazel is easier/worth it, subjective I guess.
-
Is it possible to get fast Rust compiles in a Docker container?
I did a talk (slides here) about this a few years ago, it took a bit of work to get the build caching working with cargo. As others have pointed out, there is now cargo chef to solve this problem so you probably don't have to deal with the issues I saw, but I thought it still might be helpful context.

Faster CI builds for Rust with pre-baked builder images and sccache
I'm curious if you've tried out cargo-chef, I've had some decent improvements with it but I wonder how it stacks up to the sccache approach (don't have the time to try it out myself right now).

2 years of fiddling with Rust – critical thoughts
for CI have you tried to use buildkit persistent runners with caching + https://github.com/LukeMathWalker/cargo-chef ?

How to speed up the Rust compiler in July 2022
If you're deploying Rust with Docker I can tell you that cargo-chef is invaluable. With zero work it caches the dependency fetch and compilation steps. Most of the time the ens Docker deploy is closer to an incremental compile than full.

Help with building a 32bit library with cargo
i would also recommend using crane or naersk since iirc rustPlaform.buildRustPackage can mangle some of these options (or maybe i just did something wrong lol)

Better support of Docker layer caching in Cargo
Notably crane is doing what cargo-chef is doing for Nix.

20 Years of Nix
I don't think it's very valid to compare the two. It is a little bit just to compare the experiences using them bit they aren't meant to solve the same set of issues. In fact, they are better together in my experience. I use nix to manage my terraform configurations with a lot of success. It reduces my boilerplate and helps me build abstractions on top of HCL.
If you ever decide to take a stab at nix again, consider looking at https://github.com/ipetkov/crane and using flakes. I've got it down to the point that I can get a new rust project set up with nix in about 30 seconds with linting, package building, and test running all in the checks

Has anyone packaged Rust programs as nix packages?
Take a look at Crane, though it is squarely aimed at non-beginners. If you want to submit whatever you're packaging to nixpkgs and not just for personal use, you can't use crane, though.
-
Crafting container images without Dockerfiles
To get Rust incremental builds, did you consider using something such as crane https://github.com/ipetkov/crane ?
And regarding OCI images, i built nix2container (https://github.com/nlewo/nix2container) to speed up image build and push times.

yarnpnp2nix: More efficient way of packaging NodeJS applications
I imagine/hope you've seen this, but over in Rust-land I do something similar using https://github.com/ipetkov/crane. I've been on the lookout for something precisely like this for a while. I don't know much about the newer versions of yarn but imagined such a thing was possible. I am looking forward to trying this out, especially if the above is eventually addressed.

Perfect Docker Images for Rust with Nix
If you haven't already, I recommend checking out crane for building extensible workflows using cargo and Nix (e.g. running clippy, cargo-audit, cargo-nextest, cargo-tarpaulin, etc.)
What are some alternatives?
sccache - Sccache is a ccache-like tool. It is used as a compiler wrapper and avoids compilation when possible. Sccache has the capability to utilize caching in remote storage environments, including various cloud storage options, or alternatively, in local storage.
naersk - Build Rust projects in Nix - no configuration, no code generation, no IFD, sandbox friendly.
