The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
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.

cargo-udeps 0.1.33 release
I'm releasing cargo-udeps 0.1.33 today. The release marks a big change in the evolution of cargo-udeps, as the default backend is changed from using save-analysis to depinfo. This change was needed because the compiler is removing support for save-analysis. I will remove support for the save-analysis backend entirely in a couple of weeks, when the 1.64 release is made, and I'll update cargo-udeps to the new cargo release.

Why can rust-analyzer not detect unused dependencies?
rust-analyzer only provides a handful of diagnostics by itself, everything else is forwarded from cargo check (if checkOnSave is enabled). Neither tool currently emits a warning for unused dependencies, since it's pretty hard to do, but cargo-udeps can do it (though I'm not sure how reliable it is).
- Is there a tool to remove unused dependencies from a Cargo file?

Is the crate dependency becoming a problem?
Maybe an extension to cargo-udeps?

Corrode without bloat. Is detecting unnecessary features feasible?
cargo-udeps does a great job at letting us know which dependencies in our `Cargo.toml` are left unused. I am pretty impressed with it.

Reducing Rust Incremental Compilation Times on macOS by 70%
You can also turn off debuginfo completely. Personally, someone who does printf debugging, I mainly need it to debug segfaults, which are really rare in Rust. Sometimes the call stack of a panic is useful as well, but if I need debuginfo I can just re-enable it.

Backdooring Rust crates for fun and profit
That's why I started https://github.com/mimoo/cargo-dephell and https://github.com/diem/whackadep btw, to try to get a sense of the risk in our Rust dependencies. The second one is a web UI that can update periodically and shows you what's up with your dependencies. If there's a new update, it'll tell you if it affected a `build.rs` file (which triggers a warning). I wanted to add more rules, like the ones mentioned in the article, but never had the time to do it.
