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.

Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here (5/2023)!
The code I wrote works correctly https://gitlab.com/Boiethios/moonlander-firmware/-/blob/dev/src/bootload.rs but I wondered how bad it is, that is, how it violates the Rust memory model. You've already answered that part, though, thanks for the answer :)

create a &Struct for a &Value
Yes, that's possible if you use repr(transparent). And as always David Tolnay has a crate for that: https://github.com/dtolnay/ref-cast

When Rust hurts
Actually you can, as long as the newtype struct has #[repr(transparent)]. The ref-cast crate makes it easy to do this without having to (directly) use unsafe code!

Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here (5/2023)!
You can add #[repr(transparent)] and then call transmute(), or use https://github.com/dtolnay/ref-cast (which is exactly what it does anyway, providing a safe interface).
What are some alternatives?
When comparing moonlander-firmware and ref-cast you can also consider the following projects:
auto-future - A way to easily build structs that can be turned into futures
rust-bindgen - Automatically generates Rust FFI bindings to C (and some C++) libraries.
serde-aux - An auxiliary serde library providing helpful functions for serialisation and deserialisation for containers, struct fields and others.
kanin - A microservice framework for AMQP, protobuf and Rust.
jlox-rs - Following along the first (Java) part of https://craftinginterpreters.com/, but with Rust, because reasons.
