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.

Hello World in Go From Rust
Golang uses cgo to communicate with external C libraries and Rust uses FFI (Foreign function interfaces) to export C functions. Additionally, a library for automatically generating bindings can be used to generate the header files (.h). In our case, we'll only be exporting two C functions, so using cbindgen is overkill but we'll use it regardless because why not? Firstly, we'll write the rust functions we want to export. We'll start by creating a new rust library:

Nim v2.0 Released
As a 2-step approach, you could also probably use https://github.com/mozilla/cbindgen and then Nim's native C FFI.

ffizz: Build a Beautiful C API in Rust
The tooling for the first kind -- calling Rust from another language -- is a bit less developed, and tends to rely on code generation that doesn't necessarily produce a natural C API. cbindgen, uniffi, cxx, and Diplomat all take this course.

How can I use rust libraries in zig/C
There's also cbindgen for automating the generation of C headers once you've got your code in the right shape and you'll also want to read the Rustonomicon.

You can backport Rust standard library to C using https://github.com/eqrion/cbindgen .

Rust FFI and cbindgen: Integrating Embedded Rust Code in C
Later we'll see what cbindgen essentially does is receive a configuration and a Rust library and then spit out a C header (.h) file. One might think that what cbindgen is doing might not be that special and can be done by hand. In which some cases that might be true if the project is simple enough. Though additionally as the cbindgen documentation states:
-
Nautilus just fucked me. (Gnome paper cuts)
Fuck it, I'll take the bait. Rust allows for amazing C interop by allowing for exporting of C types as a dynamic library, like C. Unlike C, this still allows for Rust's advanced checking at compile time. librsvg is one such library that is being used in the GTK ecosystem that is also almost completely Rust. You can use tools like cbindgen to generate C bindings.

Or alternatively cbindgen to create the header file from the Rust source.

Ask HN: What CLI Apps?
[Windows only]
I recently discovered Cmder:
https://cmder.app/
It's a portable console emulator and gives you the ability to "place your own executable files into the bin folder to be injected into your PATH" when it's run.
So far I've added:

Tabby is an infinitely customizable cross-platform terminal app
The multiple supported shells remind me a little bit of the Windows cmder app, which I recall being pretty decent: https://cmder.app/
But the cross platform aspect is really nice, even if in my experience using different terminal apps per platform hasn't been too big of an issue.
Maybe except for MobaXTerm feeling better than most Linux tabbed/split terminal offerings due to its usability and support for sending input to multiple remote sessions at the same time, SSH integration etc.: https://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/ (something like Remmina is on par with mRemoteNG, so nice but not quite there)

need LSP in WSL to use python env from Windows
I've since found that dev workflows in Windows work pretty damn good now, actually. I hate PowerShell so I still don't use it, but I now use Nushell, Cmder, and Git-Bash as my shells within the native Windows terminal emulator and it's actually pretty damn good and very close to the Unix experience. I actually like the native Windows terminal more than Kitty and would switch to it on my Ubuntu machine and my work MacBook if it were available on these systems.

The amount of times I have accidentally done this...
If you haven't tried Cmder yet you definitely should.

NodeJS server sometimes doesn't respond until I press Enter in console.
The Second was to directly avoid powershell & cmd altogether .. i also used cmder which gave me a feeling of Linux on windows
