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.

Tilck – A Tiny Linux-Compatible Kernel
> [..] in kernel mode while retaining the ability to compare how the very same usermode bits run on the Linux kernel as well. That's a unique feature in the realm of educational kernels.

Rustaceans at the Border [Linux Kernel]
> How would that work in reality? Re-use the existing tests to build a new kernel from scratch? Sounds like a very far-out idea that wouldn't help with any of the current problems, but I'm happy to entertain the idea and hear your reasoning here.
While I would tend to agree that a full production replacement would be such a massive undertaking as to be impractical, https://github.com/nuta/kerla does something very like that - Linux userspace ABI on an all-new Rust kernel. (And even at this small scale, I find it mind-blowing that this worked)

An OS made from Rust other than Redox
https://github.com/nuta/kerla was mentioned not too long ago - a hobby kernel that aims to reimplement the Linux syscall ABI

FreeBSD evaluating Rust's adoption into base system
There is a Rust front-end for GCC that is under active development [1]. If the chip vendors are not willing to develop and upstream a LLVM back-end then they can feel free to start contributing to it.

Why do lifetimes need to be leaky?
That's why gccrs doesn't even consider lifetime checking a part of the language (they plan to use Polonius, too).

How hard would it be to port the Rust toolchain to a new non-POSIX OS written in Rust and get it to host its own development? What would that process entail?
There's ongoing work on a Rust front-end for GCC (https://github.com/Rust-GCC/gccrs). Bit barebones right now -- ie, even core doesn't compile -- but there's funding, demand, and regular progress, so it'll only get better from there. Once gccrs can compile core, it should be ready to compile most of Rust, and thus if you've taught the calling conventions for C to GCC, you're golden.
-
How hard is it to write a front end for a more complex language like Rust or Kotlin?
I recommend checking out the GCC Rust frontend project.

Rust contributions for Linux 6.4 are finally merged upstream!
That is what theyre refering to, yes. The GitHub is named https://github.com/Rust-GCC/gccrs

GCC 13 and the State of Gccrs
- But this misses so much extra context information
3. Macro invocations there are really subtle rules on how you treat macro invocations such as this which is not documented at all https://github.com/Rust-GCC/gccrs/blob/master/gcc/rust/expan...
Some day I personally want to write a blog post about how complicated and under spec'd Rust is, then write one about the stuff i do like it such as iterators being part of libcore so i don't need reactive extensions.

Any alternate Rust compilers?
(Speaking of which, Rust-GCC (or gcc-rs or gccrs or whichever other of their names they decide is the primary one) isn't even going to be a complete C++ implementation. Their plan is to implement enough to compile Polonius (the NLL 2.0 borrow checker being developed in Rust for rustc) and then share that since borrow-checking isn't necessary for codegen... only to identify and reject invalid programs... making the C++ portion of it not that different in scope from mrustc.)

Which programming languages, if all legacy code written in them was ported to a more modern language, would become extinct?
That bridge will be crossed with gccrs (compiling Rust with gcc directly, coming next month with GCC 13) and rust_codegen_gcc (rustc frontend, GCC backend, works now but just doesn’t yet have an “easy” setup)
What are some alternatives?
