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.

Not allowed to use 3rd party code
Oh, certainly. One of the projects I really need to get back to has a hand-rolled argument parser because it's security critical and its needs are so simple and specialized.

Compiling in chroot? (for security)
(The repo is here if you want to subscribe for notification of updates when I get back to it.)

NPM malware and what it could imply for Cargo
It's using the placeholder name nodo (like "superuser do", but "you no do") and it's currently at https://github.com/ssokolow/nodo

Backdooring Rust crates for fun and profit
OK. It's at https://github.com/ssokolow/nodo/issues/1 until I come up with a non-placeholder name.

Rust devs push back as Serde project ships precompiled binaries
The precompiled binary is not a sandboxed WASM binary. Despite the name "watt" it has nothing to do with https://github.com/dtolnay/watt . You can look at the actual code to see for yourself.

syn v2.0.0 released
* Related: watt is one approach to pre-compile proc-macro crates using WASM.

My first year with Rust: The good, the bad, the ugly
In addition to thiserror and anyhow, our resident superhuman Rust-improving Robot, dtolnay, also developed an experiment in distributing precompiled proc macros as WebAssembly named Watt and, though I never bothered to create a Zulip account so I don't know what was said, I'm told there has been discussion around the idea of implementing something in that vein.

Rust is coming to the Linux kernel
I think when we have Cranelift, Mold, and maybe Watt all working together then compile times will basically be a non-issue. It'll be a few years though.

Security advisory: malicious crate rustdecimal | Rust Blog
Check out https://github.com/dtolnay/watt - it's a really interesting solution to the problem!

Backdooring Rust crates for fun and profit
I really like the idea of Watt: https://github.com/dtolnay/watt Run macros in a wasm sandbox so they can't touch anything you don't explicitly allow.

NPM malware and what it could imply for Cargo
I really wish there was more interest in getting something like Watt upstreamed.
