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 – Faster compilation with the parallel front-end in nightly
https://github.com/grapl-security/grapl/
I just did a clean build `cargo build`, 19 minutes 44 seconds.
I added 1 line (`dbg!("foo")`) and it took 14.76s

Introduction to Curp Protocol
Awesome. So, CURP was pretty inspiring for the work I did on Grapl. Grapl Schemas had to define conflict resolution algorithms.
https://github.com/grapl-security/grapl/blob/main/etc/exampl...
As you can see here, there are some special built-ins that aren't important (keys, timestamps) but you can see there's @immutable (FWW) and @increment_only.
This meant that our graphs formed a big CRDT, which meant that every operation commuted, which meant that we could do weird things with our consensus. Reads could happen on stale data, writes could be dropped, we could read from two inconsistent databases and resolve the inconsistency in memory, etc. I even hacked this into ScyllaDB by encoding each merge function into an integer, and setting that as the TIMESTAMP, for when replication merging happened to the values - this meant we could perform writes (repeatedly) without reading a value first, and with no coordination between nodes. What I didn't have was a native solution that could take advantage of these constraints.
As you can tell, this project is obviously very interesting to me. I ran through this pretty quickly but I'll dig in more soon. I'm just excited to see this.

Why Rust is a great choice for startups
Rust, Python and Go. Props to you for being sensible with technology choice.

Is Rust Web Yet?
That's great for you and your team, but looking at https://github.com/grapl-security/grapl it seems like your needs are pretty different from most web developers.

Silverblue container users: what does your environment look like?
Oh you'd still use a Git repository (e.g. like I do here), stow just takes care of creating the necessary symbolic links (and skipping those that already exist).

NPM malware and what it could imply for Cargo
I experimented a bit with running rust-analyzer under Bubblewrap when using it through NeoVim's LSP integration (see here). Overall it's doable, but it's a tedious process of finding out what needs to write and where, what capabilities you need, etc. I don't see this seeing adoption unless it becomes a first-class feature of the tool in question.

Systemd service sandboxing and security hardening 101
You can also use Bubblewrap, but getting it up and running requires a lot more fiddling around. For example, this is what I use to isolate Zoom from the rest of my system: https://gitlab.com/yorickpeterse/dotfiles/-/blob/0a0492c78b6...
In my case I'm using Bubblewrap because Firejail was only used for Zoom, and this felt a bit of a waste considering Bubblewrap was already installed.

What do you use the tabline for?
This is implemented using some custom Lua code.
- Lists of lua-based nvim config files?
-
Is there a way to set abbreviations through lua?
There's no first-class API for this. I use this setup. This is OK, though I only have two abbreviations, and it does feel a bit overkill for just that.
-
When using the terminal emulator and opening a file within a terminal emulator, open it instead in a new buffer.
I've been using neovim-remote for quite some time, and it works perfectly fine. Here is what I use to open NeoVim as usual outside of an existing NeoVim session, and inside the existing session whenever I run nvim from NeoVim's terminal emulator.

neovim lsp - how do you get diagnostic mesages to show at the bottom instead of in-line?
You can use this code I wrote for that. You then hook it up like this.
-
Which one would you rather use for completion?
Adjust the icons LSP uses for various symbol types like this. If you leave this out, you need to adjust these lines to use the correct text/icons instead.

Neovim 0.5 Is Overpowering
The documentation is there, but it's a bit lacking/confusing here and there. It's also mostly foundational work, and you still need to cobble things together (either manually or using a plugin).
With that said, you can build things quite nicely with it. For example, I have a custom linter setup, custom loclist/quickfix list formatting and populating from LSP data, and a bunch of other things; all using the foundational work coming in NeoVim 0.5.
If anybody is curious, you can find my NeoVim configuration here: https://gitlab.com/yorickpeterse/dotfiles/-/tree/master/dotf...
p.s. In case anybody wonders "why Lua?", for me this mostly comes down to this: I hate Lua, but I hate Vimscript even more.
