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
- chrono 0.4.20 has been released, fixing the RUSTSEC-2020-0159 issue

chrono 0.4.20-rc.1 has just been released!!
Would love to have people test this, you can leave feedback here: https://github.com/chronotope/chrono/issues/674.

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?

Rusty way to store state for CLIs
If you're less concerned about the "structure" of your data (e.g., serializing into rust types) and just need tabular data that can be queried (e.g., how much did we bet on X date, who placed a bet on Y team, etc.) I would definitely lean more towards a SQLite database for that kind of work. rusqlite can get you a functional database fairly quickly with a little reading of the documentation (be sure to use the "bundled" feature).

SQLite Release 3.42.0
Create a connection per task. WAL is probably a good idea.
Even using SERIALIZED mode, sqlite has multiple APIs which are completely broken if two clients touch the same connection (https://github.com/rusqlite/rusqlite/issues/342#issuecomment...).
Don't bother, just don't share connections between threads and use the regular multi-thread mode (do use that though).

Best way to ship non-code files in a rust crate?
It fails your "ship with a crate" requirement, but when it comes to "csv but too small for a database" it's always worth having a think about SQLite. Of note, the rusqlite crate with the bundled feature will download, compile, and link against sqlite.

What does crate rusqlite add over crate sqlite?
You may want to read the Readme of Rusqlite, especially the Optional Features.

Embedded SQL database
As far as I know, the only option for an embedded SQL database is SQLite. The most actively maintained one, for rust, seems to be rusqlite (https://github.com/rusqlite/rusqlite).

SQLite extension to query Excel (.xlsx, .xls, .ods) files as virtual tables
Yes, but it's readonly. Also they did not merge loadable extensions support, which I need - https://github.com/rusqlite/rusqlite/pull/910

Rust for competitive programming

Store SQLite in Cloudflare Durable Objects
SQLite is written in C, while workers is based on V8 isolates, so it mainly runs JavaScript. Fortunately, it also supports running WASM through initialising and calling WASM modules via JavaScript. Emscripten can be used to build WASM from C, but I'd rather use it through Rust (using rusqlite), so this is what I focus on right away. Workers can also be written entirely in Rust using worker-rs.
