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.

Rust – Are We Game Yet?
> Same for Godot.
While likely true that it's "Unlikely to ever be as supported" as the 4 officially supported languages[0] ("GDScript, C#, and, via its GDExtension technology, C and C++."), Godot's GDExtension technology is specifically intended for use in adding support for other languages.
The most relevant tracking issue for Rust is presumably:
* <https://github.com/godot-rust/gdnative/issues/824>
Which links to:

what's the state of using rust in Godot 4?
The Rust binding for GDExtension is still at an early stage as advertised by the ReadMe, but we're making steady progress. Thanks to active contributors, the last month has been very productive, with support for arrays, dictionaries, vectors, transforms, single/double precision, as well as several bugfixes and higher test coverage.

Godot 4.0 is out
Worth noting that with Godot being 'built in' matters less - C# is a first class language in Godot 4 but it also isn't built in, because the engine can be extended with fully integrated language plugins. This is a new thing in Godot 4, Rust is being added in the same way but isn't ready yet.

Raku + Godot? GDExtension, could this be possible?
An example would be Lua and Rust bindings.

Rust – Are We Game Yet?
These are issues that I'm aware of that are "tracking" the status of Rust on console:
* <https://github.com/rust-gamedev/wg/issues/90>
* <https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-ecosystem/issues/18>
I say scare quote tracking because due to the nature of console NDAs it's unlikely you'll see much if any useful details in an open public forum.
The issues aren't dissimilar to those facing Godot (although it has the benefit it's able to use existing C++ compilers) and the project has previously outlined some of the issues involved:
* <https://docs.godotengine.org/en/4.0/tutorials/platform/conso...>
* <https://godotengine.org/article/godot-consoles-all-you-need-...>
The current "solution" seems to be console-related development activity occurring via the recently established W4 Games (https://w4games.com/2023/02/28/godot-support-for-consoles-is...) but that's obviously never going to be openly developed without console platform approval (same as any other game engine).
- Useful Clippy lint rules outside of defaults?
- More use of Rust is inevitable in open source software

What's the advantages of Rust over C/C++ today ? Is it possible to create the best 3d engine in Rust or a AAA game like Elden Ring, FF7 remake, GTA etc with it ? If it's possible why it asn't been done yet ?
Some companies are betting on Rust, like Embark Studio (though I'm not sure their next big game, ARC Raiders, is actually fully based on Rust... but it will come !)

Why haven't the community created an open-source version of this game?
