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.

What Vale Taught Me About Linear Types, Borrowing, and Memory Safety
How do you represent this?
However, this insight holds for relatively common forms of ownership, and you can see this exploited in electrolysis: https://github.com/Kha/electrolysis

Magma, a project I hope will make provably correct software possible for everyone
In my opinion the best way of going about it is translating the Rust to Coq that has the same semantics (but different performance) as pioneered in https://github.com/Kha/electrolysis. Unfortunately that project isn't usable today as it requires an ancient version of Rust and Lean.

I rewrote my CV in Typst and I'll never look back
You may want to try https://github.com/tectonic-typesetting/tectonic, which downloads files from TeXLive on-demand.

bard 2.0
v2 has improved TeX engine lookup, improved PDF template look&feel, proper support for MS Windows (where it comes integrated with the Tectonic engine) and a few more new features.

[Media] Version 0.3 of Inlyne - An interactive markdown renderer written entirely in Rust
There's https://github.com/tectonic-typesetting/tectonic but I think the issue with that idea is that sure, you can re-implement TeX (it's sufficiently simple) in Rust and then run LaTeX packages on top of it, but then you're back to LaTeX and all its weirdness so you haven't really gained anything compared to LaTeX itself.

Arch for science
In terms of TeX, I would recommend taking a look at tectonic, a self-contained TeX distribution that auto-installs packages you need when you need them, and “just works” when you call the binary to compile… Because screw messing around with package managers, CTAN and XeTeX. I’ve been using it for around a year and it’s so much easier than any other TeX distribution.

Porting Python reportlab code to Rust
For example, you can have your main application in something like Deno/Node/python that acts as a server, and then delegate the actual pdf generation to tectonic (https://github.com/tectonic-typesetting/tectonic) or Typst https://typst.app/blog/2023/beta-oss-launch/

How does it compare with Tectonic?

Brian Kernighan adds Unicode support to Awk (May, 2022)
It's sad that Tectonic conversion to Rust[1] was never finished. For now it's just a wrapper around C and C++ code. By far, it was the most promising thing in this distribution.

LaTex alternative/replacement written in Rust?
The only thing I've seen is https://github.com/tectonic-typesetting/tectonic but that's an actual re-implementation of TeX Rust.
What are some alternatives?
Rudra - Rust Memory Safety & Undefined Behavior Detection
miktex - the MiKTeX source code
line-combination-proofs
texlab - An implementation of the Language Server Protocol for LaTeX
fiat - Mostly Automated Synthesis of Correct-by-Construction Programs
tex-rs - A port of TeX82 to Rust. (WIP)
magmide - A dependently-typed proof language intended to make provably correct bare metal code possible for working software engineers.
Oberon - Oberon parser, code model & browser, compiler and IDE with debugger
prusti-dev - A static verifier for Rust, based on the Viper verification infrastructure.
arara
rust-verification-tools - RVT is a collection of tools/libraries to support both static and dynamic verification of Rust programs.
