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.

bitter v0.6 - the performant bit reading library with a new faster API
There's quite a bit of unsafe (ick) and there's even an unsafe API that allow one to shoot themselves in the foot (more ick). I'm cautiously optimistic that the performance demonstrated by miniz_oxide (a project with lots of bit reading and zero unsafe) could mean a reduction of unsafe in bitter without sacrificing performance.

Good example of high performance Rust project without unsafe code?
miniz_oxide is slightly faster than zlib
ttf-parser
-
Good example of high performance Rust project without unsafe code?
Or even ttf-parser, which is usually even faster than C alternatives, no unsafe, no explicit SIMD.

cv - Rust CV mono-repo. Contains pure-Rust dependencies which attempt to encapsulate the capability of OpenCV, OpenMVG, and vSLAM frameworks in a cohesive set of APIs.
fontdue - The fastest font renderer in the world, written in pure rust.
yaep - Yet Another Earley Parser
birdfont - A font editor for creating fonts in TTF, EOT, SVG and BIRDFONT format.
bitter - Extract bits from a byte slice
fast-float-rust - Super-fast float parser in Rust (now part of Rust core)
image-png - PNG decoding and encoding library in pure Rust
