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.

Is there something like "super-safe" rust?
findpanics is also unmaintained, but a couple of years younger.

Is Rust really safe? How to identify functions that can potentially cause panic
Try findpanics (https://github.com/philipc/findpanics) instead. It's also unmaintained, but several years more recent.

My thoughts on Rust and C++
That's fair. I think I may just be a bit sore that Rustig was allowed to bit-rot and findpanics hasn't seen a commit since 2020.
- What improvements would you like to see in Rust or what design choices do you wish were reconsidered?
-
What's your strategy for checking that your code is panic free?
The approaches I've seen (Rustig, findpanics, no-panic, dont_panic) tend to be based around using whole-program analysis on the generated output binary to determine what's calling the panic machinery once the optimizers have had their way with it.

Sustainability with Rust
It's a shame that Rustig is unmaintained. I haven't had a chance to try findpanics yet, but it may be a good runner-up.

The Wizardry Frontier
Nice read! Rust has pushed, and will continue to push, the limits of practical, bare metal, memory safe languages. And it's interesting to think about what's next, maybe eventually there will be some form of practical theorem proving "for the masses". Lean 4 looks great and has potential, but it's still mostly a language for mathematicians. There has been some research on AI constructed proofs, which could be the best of both worlds because then the type checker can verify that the AI generated code/proof is indeed correct. Tools like Kani are also a step forward in program correctness.

Kani 0.38.0 has been released !
Here's a summary of what's new in version 0.38.0:
-
CVE-2023-4863: Heap buffer overflow in WebP (Chrome)
> those applications need the proof for correctness so that more dangerous code---say, what would need `unsafe` in Rust---can be safely added
There are actually already tools built for this very purpose in Rust (see Kani [1] for instance).
Formal verification has a serious scaling problem, so forming programs in such a way that there are a few performance-critical areas that use unsafe routines seems like the best route. I feel like Rust leans into this paradigm with `unsafe` blocks.

Enable concrete playback for failure of UB checks by @zhassan-aws in https://github.com/model-checking/kani/pull/2727

Kani 0.34.0 has been released!
Change default solver to CaDiCaL by @celinval in https://github.com/model-checking/kani/pull/2557 By default, Kani will now run CBMC with CaDiCaL, since this solver has outperformed Minisat in most of our benchmarks. User's should still be able to select Minisat (or a different solver) either by using #[solver] harness attribute, or by passing --solver= command line option.
