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.

Getaddrinfo() on glibc calls getenv(), oh boy
The problem is that this effects higher languages too, because they often build on libc. And on some OSes, they don't have a choice, because the system call interface is unstable and/or undocumented).
For example in rust, multiple time libraries were found to be unsound if `std::env::set_env` was ever called from a multi-threaded program. See:
https://github.com/time-rs/time/issues/293 and https://github.com/chronotope/chrono/issues/499

ZeroVer: 0-Based Versioning
> I think library authors should be more relentless and break compatibility every few years. We just need some conventions to not do so very often.
I indeed did this years ago---I'm the original author of Chrono [1]---and it wasn't well received [2] [3] [4]. To be fair, I knew it was a clear violation of semantic versioning but I didn't see any point of obeying that until we've reached 1.0 so I went ahead. People complained a lot and I had to yank the problematic release. By then I realized many enough people religiously expect semantic versioning (for good reasons though) and it's wiser to avoid useless conflict.

Simple, fast and safety alternative for unzip
On that note, it would also be good to configure cargo-deny so that a CI pipeline and any maintainer can easily audit the current dependency versions. Sometimes CVEs require a new major semver (looking at you, time 0.1.x and thus chrono 0.4.x), so it's not enough to rely on people installing the tool with semver-compatible updates. Automatically auditing dependencies is really important, and given how easy cargo-deny makes it, I don't think many projects have any excuse not to configure it.

Is it unidiomatic/anti-pattern to use the return keyword ?
The example has been randomly taken from the [Chrono][https://github.com/chronotope/chrono/blob/main/src/offset/utc.rs] crate.

Will Rust drop dependency on libc and make direct system calls? when ? (Please don't mention no_std case)
libc isn't "just a wrapper". Is a massive legacy codebase filled with hacks, UBs and bugs: https://github.com/chronotope/chrono/issues/499

Trying to learn about chrono, Duration, etc...
Security issues? I'm looking at the open issues, but haven't noticed any that seem to be security related (no security related labels either). What am I missing here?

1Password for SSH changed the way I work
I’m really excited for Git’s recent addition of commit signing with SSH keys. It already works with 1Password SSH and I can’t wait for GitHub and Gitlab to support verification!
