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.

This is just a teaser of the capabilities that Lunatic will provide. There are many more features coming. Once you have this foundation, a new world of possibilities opens up. Some of the features I'm excited about:
