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.

Why the Windows Registry sucks technically (2010)
There are several libraries that handle directory for you in the appropriate OS-specific manner.
One Rust example being https://github.com/dirs-dev/dirs-rs
> The library provides the location of these directories by leveraging the mechanisms defined by
> the XDG base directory and the XDG user directory specifications on Linux and Redox
> the Known Folder API on Windows
> the Standard Directories guidelines on macOS

Rust 1.62.0 pre-release testing
Yes. We have dirs for that, folks!

Hey Rustaceans! Got an easy question? Ask here (5/2021)!
I'm using dirs to get the home directory. However, dirs::home_dir() returns an Option, which I can't quite grasp how to extract the string from, and the repo doesn't have examples for it either.

A configuration management system for pets, not cattle
This seems more approachable than NixOS/Guix, which I see as state or the art for declarative hosts.
https://discourse.nixos.org/t/documentation-team-flattening-... aims to flatten the learning curve for NixOS.

Our Roadmap for Nix
We're onto the pedagogy thing. Check out the Nix book efforts: https://discourse.nixos.org/t/documentation-team-flattening-....
Regarding the language and "configurations" specifically, you might like what we do with Nickel: https://github.com/tweag/nickel. Research project showing a potential future for Nix.

Why the Windows Registry sucks technically (2010)
Wouldn't say there's a steep learning curve for the language itself, it's pretty easy to get a grasp around it imo. Here's a helpful page I used to quickly get familiar with the language: https://github.com/tazjin/nix-1p
What's rather messy about Nix is nixpkgs with its helper functions all over the place alongside pretty shallow / non-existent documentation (which is unrelated to the language). Thankfully they've started to work on that recently: https://discourse.nixos.org/t/documentation-team-flattening-...

How should nix be used?!
there are efforts to better document the whole ecosystem (https://github.com/NixOS/nix-book)
What are some alternatives?
libsqlfs - a library that implements a POSIX style filesystem on top of an SQLite database
nickel-nix - An experimental Nix toolkit to use nickel as a language for writing nix packages, shells and more. [Moved to: https://github.com/nickel-lang/organist]
tail - My implementation of the tail tool to (continuously) read the tail end of a file. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tail_(Unix)
sqlfs - Sqlite FUSE filesystem with sqlcipher support
nix-1p - A (more or less) one page introduction to Nix, the language.
nix-doc - An interactive Nix documentation tool providing a CLI for function search, a Nix plugin for docs in the REPL, and a ctags implementation for Nix script
