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.

SQLx 0.7 released! Offline mode usability improvements, performance fixes and major upgrades across the board!
It's worth keeping an eye on Diesel's metrics suite (https://github.com/diesel-rs/metrics) as well; I found and fixed some suboptimal buffering that was affecting performance.
-
What's everyone working on this week (26/2023)?
See here for some numbers. The relevant code lives inside the diesel github repository. Please also keep in mind that these are just numbers and you should run those these on your own and also run tests with your actual work load.
-
Sqlx, diesel, orm or other sqlx query ?
Performance is worse than in comparable frameworks
-
What ORM do you use?
No it will likely not be less performant. See these numbers for some benchmark results for numbers. (As always with benchmarks: Please don't trust my numbers. To be sure you need to do your own benchmarks with your own use-case)
-
Trying to learn by tutorials, for cannot find a single Actix/Diesel tutorial that actually compiles
See here for some benchmark results. The benchmarks itself are in the diesel repository. Otherwise I believe there are numbers in the techempower benchmarks as well, although that includes other factors .
-
Thoughts about switching from sqlx to tokio_postgres?
I'm developing a Rust web server backend in Axum that uses Postgres and performance will be pretty important since I plan to run it on one server for as long as possible. It seems like the postgres crate is about 2x faster than sqlx, and the postgres repository seems pretty active still.
-
Ormlite: An ORM in Rust for developers that love SQL
Congratulations to the release. I know all of this is hard work. I would like to invite you to submit a ormlite implementation to the diesel benchmark collection. As soon as that's merged you will get regular reports here. The relevant code is here in the diesel repository.
-
Rails developers write some Rust: a review of Axum 0.6
In that case you may be interested in the metrics for different database libraries. diesel is doing rather well at the moment. sqlx is in the middle of a large rewrite that should improve performance, so we'll see how it compares after that
-
Using Rust as my Backend
See here for some benchmark results for the diesel repository. Please keep in mind that as always with benchmarks, these numbers are not necessarily true for your usecase. Be sure to checkout at least the benchmark code and draw your own conclusions from there.
-
SQL and Rust
The cited 7-70x factor is for sqlite, it's not that serve for other backends. I would guess for sqlite the overhead is partially caused by forcing an async interface on top of a internally sync API. See here for some numbers.

Using GenAI to improve developer experience on AWS
Working in combination with CodeWhisperer in your IDE, you can send whole code sections to Amazon Q and ask for an explanation of what the selected code does. To show how this works, we open up the file.rs file cloned from this GitHub repository. This is part of an open source project to host documentation of crates for the Rust Programming Language, which is a language we are not familiar with.

TSDocs.dev: type docs for any JavaScript library
Looks like a great initiative – I wish there was a reliable TS/JS equivalent of https://docs.rs (even considering rustdoc's deficiencies[1]).
I went through this exercise recently and so far my experience with trying to produce documentation from a somewhat convoluted TS codebase[2] has been disappointing. I would claim it's a consequence of the library's public (user-facing) API substantially differing from how the actual implementation is structured.
Typedoc produces bad results for that codebase so sphinx-js, which I wanted to use, doesn't have much to work with. I ultimately documented things by hand, for now, the way the API is meant to be used by the user.
Compare:

How did I need to know about feature rwh_05 for winit?
Rust Search Extension adds a section on docs.rs menubar which lists the features of a crate in a nice and easy to access format.
-
Embassy on ESP: GPIO
📝 Note: At the time of writing this post, I couldn't really locate the init function docs.rs documentation. It didn't seem easily accessible through any of the current HAL implementation documentation. Nevertheless, I reached the signature of the function through the source here.

First Rust Package - Telegram Notification Framework (Feedback Appreciated)
Rust Crates are a Game-Changer 🎮:The ease of releasing a crate with `cargo publish` and the convenience of rolling out new versions amazed me. The auto-generated docs on Docs.rs. is an amazing tool, especially with docstring formatting. Doc tests serve as a two-fold tool for documenting the code and ensuring it's up-to-date.

Grimoire: Open-Source bookmark manager with extra features
I've found I manually type out certain subsets of URLs where possible[0], maybe that's subconsciously associated with my impression that Google Search results have gotten worse and worse over the years.
[0] https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ and https://docs.rs/ come to mind.

Released my first crate ~20 hours ago; already downloaded 12 times. Who would know about it?
docs.rs also downloads you crate automatically to generate docs and I would guess lib.rs does something similar
-
Managed to land a junior role need help!
There are also a few key sites you'll want to keep in your back pocket at all times: - The Standard Library Documentation has complete documentation for every std library function in Rust - crates.io is a repository for all third-party packages, and docs.rs has human-readable documentation for the overwhelming majority of them - The Rust Cookbook has some code examples for common tasks you may need to perform - Make sure you are using clippy, which is available through Rustup and can be run with cargo clippy as a replacement to cargo check, it adds additional lints for your Rust code and is very helpful for teaching many of the best practices
-
How do you like code documentation inline in the source code vs. as separate guides, or how would you do it?
OTOH, source-code-generated-docs normalize how code docs are, like the rust docs.rs paradigm, so it sort of forces or encourages package creators/maintainers to write docs.
-
My first crate, MappedFutures, has been published! You can use it to run futures out of order, and to insert, delete, cancel, or get_mut them by key.
Do you have a repository? It's missing from the Cargo.toml file because crates.io and docs.rs are not pointing to it.
