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.

Any library you would like to recommend to others as it helps you a lot? For me, mapstruct is one of them. Hopefully I would hear some other nice libraries I never try.
error-prone is good for some extra static analysis.

How to use Java Records
A special kind of validation is enforcing that record fields are not null. (Un)fortunately, records do not have any special behavior regarding nullability. You can use tools like NullAway or Error Prone to prevent null in your code in general, or you can add checks to your records:

Why is `suspend` a language keyword, but @Composable and @Serializable are annotations
I am all in favour to more third side libraries adding functionalities, like Lombok, Manifold and error prone. As well as smaller projects like this shameless plug and what appears in this list

Picnic loves Error Prone: producing high-quality and consistent Java code
If only Google didn't suck when it came to Java9+ support... https://github.com/google/error-prone/issues/2649

What does the future hold for Project Amber?
I haven't used it. I use Google's ErrorProne + Lombok to prevent NPEs in java.

Plans for Compile-time Null Pointer Safety?
Take a look at NullAway, a plugin for Error Prone.

What I miss in Java, the perspective of a Kotlin developer
For some of this stuff, there are compiler extensions that allow extra type checking to be added e.g. Google Error-Prone: https://github.com/google/error-prone with stuff like: https://errorprone.info/bugpattern/ReturnMissingNullable.
Doesn't help you with third party libraries, but across an org applying that rule (and others!) typically ensures some consistency.

Using_Prolog_as_the_AST
> The overall goal would be to figure out classical error conditions like nill pointers deference.
> If I can figure out if a pointer will be nil in some execution branch, there is no reason why a computer cannot do the same.
Note, this is called flow-sensitive typing (also called type narrowing) and I think that typescript does it.

> I personally would see this as an human race level upgrades. Imagine feeding your code to a CI that spit back something like: "you will have a panic at line 156 when your input is > 4"
A model checker can do that!
See this
https://model-checking.github.io/kani/tutorial-kinds-of-fail...
Other techniques are also possible
https://github.com/viperproject/prusti-dev#quick-example
(Here I could link a lot of things, I just selected two Rust projects to illustrate)
This works better if you are able to provide contracts in your API that says which guarantees you provide. Alternatively, asserts are useful too.

Programming Languages Going Above and Beyond
You might be interested in the Prusti project, which statically checks for absence of reachable panics, overflows etc. It also allows user-defined specifications such as pre and post-conditions, loop body invariants, termination checking and so on.

Trying to find a crate that allows you to constrain the value of arguments in various ways via a proc macro
This is called refinement types and prusti might be the project you saw.

But there's also a lot of exciting work around formal verification like Prusti.

Is there something like "super-safe" rust?

Efforts: seL4, Project Everest, the Prossimo project of the ISRG, Let's Encrypt, and Prusti for the Rust language

Prop v0.42 released! Don't panic! The answer is... support for dependent types :)
Wow that sounds really cool! I'm not an expert but does that mean that one day you could implement dependend types or refinement types in Rust as a crate ? I currently only know of tools like: Flux Creusot Kani Prusti
