Our great sponsors
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.

Altenative to midir?
midir seems to have a bug that sends the wrong messages when i rapidly press and release keys on a piano keyboard. i created an issue to the github page but nothing yet.
- Library for MIDI input and output processing?

I was wrong about rust
If we drop std Rust ceases to be economical due to the time it would take to reimplement the data structures and IO interfaces it provides, not to mention the event loop crate we use (calloop). At that point we'd be relying on so much FFI via eg. nix that the relative safety would be diminished too. After reimplementing all that it's not clear to me that we'd even save that much size, but I suppose it's possible.

The guide to signal handling in Rust
Now that we have covered the fundamentals of signals, let's delve into the world of handling signals in Rust! Unlike C, where signal handling is built into the language modules, Rust provides several libraries that enable developers to handle signals with ease. Libraries such as signal_hook, nix, libc, and tokio handle signals that primarily use C bindings to make it possible to work with signals.

[Quick Poll] Are You Using Nix for Your Rust Open-Source Projects?
Obviously you meant the nix crate

Is there something like unistd.h on Rust?
Finally, there's the nix crate, which provides a safe Rust API over the libc functions.

An update on Rust coreutils
Unsafe code can in principle speed up I/O by calling libc for special syscalls, but uutils typically uses safe wrappers from nix instead. Very rarely there's a line of unsafe code needed to sand off the edges.

Rust maintainer perfectionism, or, the tragedy of Alacritty
This post fails to speak to me on two fronts:
* The `nix` crate is a cornerstone of the Rust development ecosystem: if you do anything that requires POSIX or various nix-specific APIs beyond those wrapped by the standard library, then `nix` most likely provides a high-level and safe* wrapper for them. Perfectionism is a virtue in this context, one that keeps large parts of the Rust ecosystem from accidentally consuming buggy code. The author unfortunately chose a particularly messy and bug-prone corner of the POSIX APIs to wrap, and ran into a correspondingly intensive review process. I've merged simpler wrappers[1][2] with no fuss.
* Alacritty seems to work just fine. I switched to it about two months ago, after using nothing but (heavily customized) rxvt-unicode for a decade. Maybe it's because I don't use ligatures or images in my terminals (I thought we were talking about non-"toy" functionality!), but I haven't found myself wanting for anything beyond what Alacritty already does. And the scrollback seems to work nicely. To summarize: where's the tragedy?
