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.

C++ vs. Rust Build Times
> They seem to have chosen to use mold for C++ and not for Rust after seeing that it gave little benefit for small projects, but I would expect that to change as the project scales.
The benchmarks show Mold for both Rust and C++. This wasn't explicitly stated in the article; sorry. https://github.com/quick-lint/cpp-vs-rust/blob/f8d31341f5cac...

Is coding in Rust as bad as in C++? A practical comparison
Very well-researched article (in my uninformed opinion because I've done virtually no benchmarking). I'd summarize it as, Rust doesn't significantly improve build times over C++ for a project where you need to frequently recompile to test the logic of the code. I gather that the Rust code is pretty idiosyncratic (using raw pointers rather than slices and custom owned and borrowed string containers with i32 length and capacity fields), but I don't know why more idiomatic Rust code would be faster to compile, and it could be very different, so a worse comparison. The results aren't relevant for me because I use Rust mainly for the language features and don't have a project with terrible compile times or the need to often rerun tests, but there might be other C++ projects in the same boat as quick-lint-js that would consider moving to Rust if it compiled faster than C++. Hopefully the efforts of people like u/nnethercote will make that happen.

Cosmic: The Road to Alpha
Bit of a side note, but COSMIC depends on the rustybuzz text shaper which is deprecated: https://github.com/RazrFalcon/rustybuzz/issues/74. There was some work underway to bring it up to sync with the latest harfbuzz and then handing over ownership to the harfbuzz team, but this seems to have fizzled out.

Is coding in Rust as bad as in C++? A practical comparison
I understand that this may sound harsh, but I also ported two (far bigger) codebases from C++ to Rust: rustybuzz and tiny-skia. Both of which are production -ready and not just prototypes. And mine not only do not use pointers, but also barely use unsafe in general.

Looking for good sources on incremental rewrites to Rust of portions of a C++ codebase. Is this a feasible approach?

Is There An Algorithm To How Computer Cursors Highlight Text?
harfbuzz is a popular library for text rendering. You may also want to check out rustybuzz, a small subset of harfbuzz ported to Rust with pretty great documentation.

Question: Expected webrender impact, or influence, on emacs redisplay
Use allsorts or rustbuzz for text shaping

Speedy2D: Easy-to-use library for graphics, text, and input events
Yeah Allsorts looks interesting, and rustybuzz is another option. I haven’t tried either yet, though.
What are some alternatives?
rust - Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.
fontdue - The fastest font renderer in the world, written in pure rust.
inox2d - Native Rust reimplementation of Inochi2D
Speedy2D - Rust library for hardware accelerated drawing of 2D shapes, images, and text, with an easy to use API.
sccache - Sccache is a ccache-like tool. It is used as a compiler wrapper and avoids compilation when possible. Sccache has the capability to utilize caching in remote storage environments, including various cloud storage options, or alternatively, in local storage.
swash - Font introspection, complex text shaping and glyph rendering.
tiny-skia - A tiny Skia subset ported to Rust
allsorts - Font parser, shaping engine, and subsetter implemented in Rust
swift-nonempty - 🎁 A compile-time guarantee that a collection contains a value.
ab-glyph - Rust API for loading, scaling, positioning and rasterizing OpenType font glyphs
v-mode - 🌻 An Emacs major mode for the V programming language.
raqote - Rust 2D graphics library
