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.

APIs in Go with Huma 2.0
I wound up on a different team with pre-existing Python code so temporarily shelved my use of Go for a bit, and we used Sanic (an async Python framework built on top of the excellent uvloop & libuv that also powers Node.js) to build some APIs for live channel management & operations. We hand-wrote our OpenAPI and used it to generate documentation and a CLI, which was an improvement over what was there (or not) before. Other teams used the OpenAPI document to generate SDKs to interact with our service.

Notes: Advanced Node.js Concepts by Stephen Grider
In the source code of the Node.js opensource project, lib folder contains JavaScript code, mostly wrappers over C++ and function definitions. On the contrary, src folder contains C++ implementations of the functions, which pulls dependencies from the V8 project, the libuv project, the zlib project, the llhttp project, and many more - which are all placed at the deps folder.

A complete guide to the Node.js event loop
Libuv, the C library that gives Node.js its asynchronous, non-blocking I/O capability is responsible for managing the thread pool. Node.js gives you the capability of using additional threads for computationally expensive and long-lasting operations to avoid blocking the event loop.

What is Node.js?: A Complete Guide
Node.js is written in C, C++, and JavaScript. The core components of Node.js - the V8 engine and the libuv library - are written in C++ and C, respectively, since these languages provide low-level access to system resources, making them well-suited for building high-performance and efficient applications. JavaScript is mainly used to write the application logic.

Node v20.3.0 (Current) upgrade to libuv 1.45.0, including SIGNIFICANT performance improvements to file system operations on Linux

Node.js – v20.3.0
Notably upgrades to libuv 1.45 which has io_uring support. Faster file system access! Awhh yeah, it's on.
Remarkable what a mild & unintrusive PR adding io_uring was. https://github.com/libuv/libuv/pull/3952

Using Parallel Processing in Node.js and its Limitations
Well, the single-threaded nature ultimately leads to its biggest downfall. Node.js utilizes a synchronous event loop engineered using Libuv that takes in code from the call stack and executes it.

Use io_uring for network I/O
While Mio will probably not implement uring in its current design, there's https://github.com/tokio-rs/tokio-uring if you want to use io_uring in Rust.
It's still in development, but the Tokio team seems intent on getting good io_uring support at least!
As the README states, the Rust implementation requires a kernel newer than the one that shipped with Ubuntu 20.04 so I think it'll be a while before we'll see significant development among major libraries.

Create a data structure for low latency memory management

Cloudflare Ditches Nginx for In-House, Rust-Written Pingora
Tokio supports io_uring (https://github.com/tokio-rs/tokio-uring), so perhaps when it's mature and battle-tested, it'd be easier to transition to it if Cloudflare aren't using it already.

Efficient way to read multiple files in parallel
I strongly recommend you to look into io-uring and use async executors that take advantages of it: - tokio-uring (not recommended as it is still undergoing development) - monoio - glommio
-
Stacked Futures and why they are impossible
This is my thinking as well. Specifically, I realized that if you don’t use tasks, but rather futures and join, than structured concurrency just works out (at the cost of less efficient poll). In a single-threaded/thread-per-core runtime, tasks could have the same semantics as futures. Somewhat elaborated here: https://github.com/tokio-rs/tokio-uring/issues/81
-
How to use async Rust for non-IO tasks?
There's a new API on Linux called io_uring that has performance benefits, but most executors don't use it yet, except executors meant specifically to harness the power of io_uring like tokio-uring and Glommio
-
Side effects of Tokio
Breaking it down a bit further- Rust's async is zero-cost, and there's no way to write faster equivalent code to the language construct in Rust (and presumably other LLVM languages). Tokio introduces abstractions over OS APIs (indirectly) and provides a runtime. The runtime isn't zero cost, but it is likely to be better optimized for "standard" situations than a homebrewed solution, and its primary competition is in the form of other large async runtimes. On the other hand, Tokio's IO routines are (AFAIK) about as well written as one can get with blocking OS APIs, and the only competitors in that space are projects like tokio-uring that use APIs more well suited for asynchronous usage.
