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.

Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here! (31/2022)!
Take a look into math libraries, like glam, nalgebra, and cgmath. I've only used these through game engines, though, so I can't offer per-basis reviews/advice.

Any plans for built-in support of Vec2/Vec3/Vec4 in Rust?
But I am writing a Vulkan-based game engine and I use https://crates.io/crates/cgmath extensively. It has vector classes, all the math functions I need, and it even supports a version of swizzling if you activate the feature. Maybe this crate can do what you need?

I want to change my point of view by key input in glium.
There's also a good crate which you can use to quickly create the required matrices called cgmath: https://crates.io/crates/cgmath

Rendering large 3D tilemaps with a single draw call at 3000 FPS
One great thing about Rust is that the library ecosystem is surprisingly mature, especially considering how young the language is (1.0 was released in 2015). C# also has good libraries, but from my experience it's kinda fiddly to use most open source libraries with Unity, at least without modifications. Rust's ecosystem has some excellent libraries that help with game development, such as noise for procedural generation and cgmath for linear algebra.

Xkcd 2916: Machine
Ok, so this uses https://rapier.rs/ which is very cool
Rapier, alongside https://nalgebra.org/ (which it uses underneath) has seriously good documentation and some advanced features like cross-platform determinism (something made hard by the way floating point differs between platforms)

Geometric Algebra to Geometric Computing Software Developers
> Some GA libraries[1][2] define types for the different kind of objects (grades)
That's nice!
This reminds of me things like, linear algebra libraries that will type-check matrices so that a 2x2 matrix can't be added to a 2x3 matrix (but then you can have a dynamic matrix that will error only in runtime), like https://nalgebra.org/ and others.

Has anyone worked on a math library before?
Maybe start by looking at https://nalgebra.org/ to see what rust math libraries might look like

faer 0.8.0 release
And Nalgebra, while better, also seems to have slowed down on commits and responses to issues and PRs. I have a PR there for a relatively simple wrapper type for row vectors which was explicitly requested by a maintainer, which hasn't even gotten a comment since for two weeks.

Science-related crates that I should have a look at?
nalgebra is for linear algebra.

C++ is making me depressed / CUDA question
If you do not need GPU then I would recommend looking into Eigen in C++, nalgebra in Rust (with a BLAS in both cases for improved performance) or one of the above options (Julia / Python+JAX).
