The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
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.

Bit-vector manipulations in standard C++
No benchmarks though. I saw itsy_bitsy, but other than find and sorting (neither of which I've ever needed), it's not really that much faster than std::bitset.

An optimized replacement of the infamous std::vector<🅱️ool>
Another library, to possibly compare against, is: itsy.bitsy.

What std::bitset could have been
Are patches you mentioned related to this library https://github.com/ThePhD/itsy_bitsy ?
-
[Suggestion] How to manage a (moderately) large number of bitvectors?
This might do what you need https://github.com/ThePhD/itsy_bitsy . I think it has bitwise ops like bitset but is a dynamic bit vector with decent perf.

bitcode 0.4 release - binary serialization format
I was also under the false impression that bitwise encoding was slow. When I first implemented bitcode with bitvec I got performance 20x worse than bincode. After writing my own implementation I was able to get much better performance.

interesting; i'll have to compare this to my rust counterpart. your numbers indicate some clever implementations i'd love to read

You need to stop idolizing programming languages.
Not to mention having a lackluster std which causes you to use nonstardard not so well documented crates and a 40K LoC library to do "bit-twiddling" (the lib, https://github.com/bitvecto-rs/bitvec the blog that says "twiddle bits" https://blog.adamchalmers.com/making-a-dns-client/ and for crying out loud the blogger also used the language the author mentioned and I quote "ergonomics AND speed AND correctness")
- bit-twiddling tricks. It's the perfect example of Rust's no-compromises "ergonomics AND speed AND correctness" ideals

An Armful of CHERIs: Memory Safety in the processor. Do we still need safe languages with CHERI?
https://github.com/bitvecto-rs/bitvec/issues/135 is a very funny read about how to perform inttoptr with provenance retention
-
bitvec 1.0.0 Released
Technically #135 gives me license to yank affected crates, but since the only exploit is "Miri crashes exactly one test out of the suite" it's not really worth it to be a stickler. Call it a truce
-
What are some creative/advanced uses of macro_rules?
My friend Nika wrote a macro that packs a sequence of 1, 0, … tokens into a correctly structured bit-buffer, adaptable over any register type or bit-ordering, at compile time. It's now basically this whole file
-
Where do I document a published crate?
if you are interested in a user manual, you can use mdbook as well. for an example, my bitvec project uses mdbook (book.toml) and a github action (.github/workflows/gh-pages.yml) to compile the guide and host it as a github pages website. it's slightly more complicated, and i'd like docs.rs to follow hexdoc.pm's example of hosting both api docs and prose, but until then this is a pretty reasonable solution.

When and how to use traits?
i would browse the standard library, tower, nom, or my own bitvec to see layout and trait/record separation. in particular, std::io and std::net may be of use: io::Read and io::Write are pervasive examples of implementing unixy file-descriptor-like behavior in the type system
What are some alternatives?
When comparing itsy_bitsy and bitvec you can also consider the following projects:
better_bitset - A better `std::bitset` that supports scanning for bits optimally
nom - Rust parser combinator framework
