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.

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?

What would you change about bitflags?
One thing I'd like to see is a MSRV policy, as its causing problems for downstreams (https://github.com/nix-rust/nix/issues/1555)

MRSK: Deploy Web Apps Anywhere
A terminal had to change the name from Terminix to Tilix due to trademark issues, even though one is a terminal and the other is a pest killer.

- My custom LMDE6
- How to get Bash to stop opening in the wrong directory?
-
Which terminal do you usually use?
I use GNOME and Tilix because the only windows I really want to tile are my terminal windows which Tilix does well.
- Produtividade no Linux.

Plugin for splitting window in zsh ?
Is it possible / is there any plugin to split a window in zsh ? Something like tmux or tilix ? Or is there any other way to achieve this ? Below is an example from tmux and tilix, respectively.
- Tilix is looking for more maintainers
- What's a good Linux terminal emulator that doesn't try to reinvent TMUX?
-
what terminal emulator u guys use? and what so good about it?
Tilix. Supports tiling and multiplexing, blends in perfectly in a gnome environment.
- Looking to replace the Terminal.
What are some alternatives?
rust-fuse - Rust library for filesystems in userspace (FUSE)
terminator - multiple GNOME terminals in one window
rust - Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.
tmux - tmux source code
rust-bindgen - Automatically generates Rust FFI bindings to C (and some C++) libraries.
alacritty - A cross-platform, OpenGL terminal emulator. [Moved to: https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty]
cxx - Safe interop between Rust and C++
Tabby - A terminal for a more modern age
Etherpad - Etherpad: A modern really-real-time collaborative document editor.
kitty - Cross-platform, fast, feature-rich, GPU based terminal
dysk - A linux utility to get information on filesystems, like df but better
