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.

Making a Wayland Compositor and WM using Rust
Maybe take a look at cosmic-comp it is currently in development by System76 for their own Cosmic DE. Smithay also has Anvil and Smallvil contained in it's repository, both are example implementations of a compositor using Smithay.

Is the new Cosmic DE going to improve stability, performance and especially BATTERY on pop OS?
COSMIC DE isn't a singular thing, it's a project of several smaller projects being built on top of each other, like the cosmic-text project that'll be used for font rendering and this new cosmic-comp UI compositor project.

Rust in industry
we have a lot of Rust projects of different scopes, but I am mostly working on cosmic-comp, a wayland compositor for our new upcoming Linux Desktop Environment. All Open-Source: https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-comp

Will the Pop_OS Cosmic Desktop environment support Wayland?
Thanks for the reply /u/mmstick. Also, would you know what causes this issue: https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-comp/issues/28 I keep running into it when trying to compile cosmic-epoch

COSMIC Panel First Look
We hired the talent behind smithay, and cosmic-comp is based on it, which has been developed to the point where we have an early prototype with some functioning wayland-shell applets.

OpenBSD 7.5 Released
It would be great for Rust to have a Linux target that doesn't use libc, but from what I've read, not many people are interested in this.
Found this as well: https://github.com/sunfishcode/mustang

Rust criticism from a Rustacean
On Linux there has been some attempts to get exactly this solutions, most notibly https://github.com/sunfishcode/mustang but the topic did not seem to fetch a prominent position on the supported feature list.

Microsoft rewriting core Windows libraries in Rust
For Linux, Mustang already exists because Linux has a stable syscall API

The Rust Implementation Of GNU Coreutils Is Becoming Remarkably Robust
Why bother with a libc at all, when you can skip it entirely on Linux!
-
Why so few, if any, pure Rust apps?
Mustang is a project which is able to run some non-trivial programs written in Rust, such as ripgrep, without using any libc, on Linux.
-
Can rust be entirely written in rust and drop C usage in its code base ?
Mustang is one way to take care of the tiny amount of "C" that runs before main().
-
How do I use Zig as Rust's Standard C Library?
This is more a Rust question than a Zig question. In Rust, the choice of a specific libc (or to not use a libc) is part of the "target", for example many hardware platforms have gnu/musl/none targets. See also relibc or mustang for pure-rust alternatives. Each libc alternative require some work to integrate into Rust.

memmapix: A pure Rust library for cross-platform memory mapped IO, which replace libc with rustix.
There's a separate project for that, called Mustang. It's built on top of rustix and provides all those things. It's not super mature yet, but it is able to run ripgrep by itself: https://github.com/sunfishcode/mustang
