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.

Hoogle for Rust?
Instead of searching functions based on their type structure (like Hoogle), you could search for functions that "consume"/"produce" values of given types (like OCaml's Merlin). I think Rust already computes variance of type constructors, so such a tool just would have to obtain this information.

Dot completion
However, after posting this question I stumbled upon this Github issue where they say it isn't supposed to work out of the box and you're supposed to bind a key to it by editing your .emacs file. Turns out the default .emacs file binds auto-complete to "backtab" which means Shift+Tab but that didn't work. I did eventually discover that I can get some kind of completion by binding backtab to completion-at-point like this:

Advice/best practice/arhitecture pattern for building language with LSP in mind?
Self-advertising: I partcipated to the writing of Merlin: A Language Server for OCaml (Experience Report), which explains the overall design of Merlin, a language server for OCaml. A key idea of Merlin are that classic lexing-parsing-typing pipelines can easily be adapted to be incremental for a Language Server, especially when they are using immutable data structures.

Introducing: Depends
There are some excellent crates already in the Rust ecosystem (notably Salsa) for performing incremental computation, although they generally have different goals to Depends.

Is there anything like funflow for rust?
I know of salsa, but I don't know if it can persist changes to disk (and my guess from looking at this issue is that it can't).

The biggest new idea in computing for half a century was just scrapped
- the practical approach to this is to split workload into work units (aka tasks/queries/etc.) and then force information flow through centralized "request"/"query" APIs that automatically track dependencies - see https://github.com/salsa-rs/salsa for more information

Is there any research or articles on different, more efficient compiler designs?
This, and as pointed Salsa.

Will rust ever have a futures executor in std?
How would this differ from salsa (https://github.com/salsa-rs/salsa) and the query-driven approach used by rustc?
What are some alternatives?
