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.

Virtual Threads in Rust?
There’s a bunch of library-based implementations of coroutines for rust. I recall https://github.com/edef1c/libfringe being the most interesting one, but it is quite dated. I don’t think there’s a lot of community interest in stackfull coroutines at this point.

Writing Rust the Elixir way
As we saw earlier, scheduling threads is a hard task for the operating system. To replace one thread that's being executed with another one, a lot of work needs to be done (including saving all the registers and some thread state). However, switching between Lunatic Processes does only the minimal amount of work possible. With an idea pioneered by the libfringe library and using some asm! macro magic, Lunatic lets the Rust compiler figure out the minimal number of registers to be preserved during context switches. This makes scheduling Lunatic processes zero-cost. On my machine usually 1ns, equivalent to a function call.

Hyperbridge: Fast multi-producer, multi-consumer unbounded channel in Rust
Crossbeam isn't async[0]. It can multiplex with itself (via the `select!` macro), but not with anything else.

Where can I read about how to write a safe API for unsafe code?
Shooting from the hip, crossbeam might be a good candidate for understanding the thread safety aspects of Rust. I kind of feel like this is probably "too big" of a project if you're just learning, but I can't think of something smaller off the top of my head that would be suitable.

multi-producer multi-consumer channels for message passing python library
I am familiar with crossbeam channels, but now I need to work with python, and I was looking for a similar library.

I needed to write a simple multi-threaded message processing queue in C++ today. Makes me really appreciate how easy this is to do in Rust.
In the C++ example you create a naive mpsc queue using a std queue and a mutex, while in the rust example you use `std::sync::mpsc` which is now implemented internally using https://github.com/crossbeam-rs/crossbeam .

How would one go about updating in-memory storage lock free, while other threads read?
From this project: https://github.com/crossbeam-rs/crossbeam
- This implementation is actually unsafe since we don't check if the index is in-bounds. But this is fine since this is only used internally.
What are some alternatives?
