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 fact vs. fiction: 5 Insights from Google's Rust journey in 2022
Probably one of the biggest speed ups to your inner loop writing / running code is to use something like https://github.com/Canop/bacon/. I used a combination of the docs and GPT chats to increase my learning speed a lot.

Report on platform-compliance for cargo directories
As a macOS user, it boils my brain whenever I've to type in something like ~/Library/Application Support/org.rust-lang.Cargo/config.toml. macOS users have been begging CLI tools to support XDG variables on macOS too. Setting defaults is a strong indication to the community what should be the "preferred" locations. The defaults defined in your article will invariably lead to some authors saying that if that path is good enough for cargo, then it is good enough for their tool. Even the latest draft RFC acknowledges that macOS should use XDG variables too. I've written more about this here.

Are there any continuous testing tools with real-time line-by-line IDE feedback for Rust?
I love cargo-watch and still it use it situationally, but as a companion to my editor workflow I mostly switched to bacon. Being able to switch with one keystroke to another cargo subcommand is delightful.

What are some less popular but well-made crates you'd like others to know about?
You might find bacon interesting: that's one of its features.

Why are all the guides on using LSP functionality full of bloat?
I don't know if there's any way to do that inside Neovim, but you could check out bacon.

Helix editor 22.08 released!
Inlay hints, as some others have pointed out, was the first thing I really missed. That said, I've started using bacon, which will re-run `cargo check` (among other commands) whenever a file is changed. Most of the time, it's faster than waiting for the LSP to catch up, and I just have it open in another window. Using this method to iterate and get immediate feedback from the actual compiler, I haven't needed to rely on in-lay hints to help me suss out which types are which.

helix - A post-modern modal text editor
There is not currently built-in support for "inlay hints". This actually was my main hang-up for a while, but I've been using Helix daily for Rust development for about 3 months, and I've found bacon to be an extremely helpful tool to augment my development. Initially I didn't see the value (doesn't Rust Analyzer do the same thing?), but more often than not bacon will come back with a compiler error before RA has time to think, and it has the benefit of catching all the errors that RA might miss since it is literally running `cargo check`. Helix has LSP support for RA, so while there aren't inlay hints, you can still perform code actions, and get all the non-inlay-related features that RA offers. It's quite a ways away from having feature parity with editors like Vim/Nvim/Kakoune, but even with the features it has today I'm able to efficiently do about 95% of my coding in it. I think if they're able to implement a plugin system and support virtual text (not just for inlays), it will could be a serious alternative for a large number of developers, especially those who use terminal-based editors.
