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.

New large-records release: now with 100% fewer quotes
Good question! I checked, and no, they are currently discarded. I think that's fixable. I've opened a ticked at https://github.com/well-typed/large-records/issues/80 .

Haskell ghost knowledge; difficult to access, not written down
Also: maybe you already knew GHC.Generics instances had superlinear compilation time, but betcha you didn't know even normal records themselves had superlinear compilation time. At least I didn't know until Edsko's super-recent investigation (resulting in yet-unreleased https://github.com/well-typed/large-records)

ffizz: Build a Beautiful C API in Rust
Rust supports two kinds of FFI: calling into Rust from another language; and calling into another language from Rust. Most of the thought and tooling that exists right now is organized around the second kind. For example, bindgen is a popular tool that generates useful Rust wrappers from a C or C++ header file.

Best practices in creating a Rust API for a C++ library? Seeking advice from those who've done it before.
I have looked into bindgen, but found that it would not be feasible due to OMPL not having a C API, just C++.
-
the graphics driver doesn't work on gentoo.
Yes! Are you running LLVM version 16.0.0 or newer, by any chance? I believe this is an issue with some builds of bindgen with newer versions of LLVM. See https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-bindgen/issues/2488
-
Any sort of plugin engine with dynamic load ability and any limitations?
On native, you have to define a C API, probably using a header file. Even if both sides are implemented in Rust, they have to speak that C API (documentation).

How can I use rust libraries in C++
Bindgen has some functionality for direct talk to C++ https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-bindgen

Issue resolving dependencies when linking C libraries
I am trying to use rust-bindgen (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-bindgen) to link a static C library (say `libexample.a`) which is compiled in a separate project with CMake. The `libexample.a` depends on other libraries (for example `libcurl.a`) installed on the system.

I implemented a NASA image compression algorithm
It looks like the guy you're replying too was kind of an ass, but I do want to point out for anyone else reading that that's not actually that much of a technical limitation: rust code can natively call C code. The main thing you need is a translation of the C library's header file so rustc knows what C functions and structs exist, and that can be automatically generated with bindgen.

Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here (5/2023)!
It's quite the different approach, but you could consider using bindgen instead.

Control hardware using c# or c++ API (dll)
Use bindgen or CXX to create Rust bindings for the C or C++ libraries.
