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.

Rust newcomers are 70x less likely to create vulnerabilities than C++ newcomers [pdf]
You should try again. I think that code is verbose because of the borrowing and because you're trying to do a one-liner. I use the nrf-hal library with the nrf52840, and the code reads pretty nicely. Here's an example:

Any good examples of using embedded Rust with an existing embedded C codebase?
Reading nrf-hal source, unfortunately new does re-configure the UARTE, and there is not a new_unchecked. The solution I can think of is to duplicate the write code with nrf52833_hal::pac::UARTE0. The Uarte type does not contain any metadata, it exists purely to guard the init of UARTE.

Really good. Check out the examples in the nrf-hal repo. Also, if you don't mind forking out for some extra components the Knurling sessions by Ferrous Systems are ace.

I rewrote my Rust keyboard firmware in Zig: consistency, mastery, and fun
The embedded HAL crates do this with extensive use of macros, for example: https://github.com/nrf-rs/nrf-hal/blob/aae17943efc24baffe30b...
This solution makes sense given the constraints of Rust, but there's quite a cost in terms of compiler time and cognitive overhead to understand what is going on.
(Aside: I didn't use the HAL in my Rust firmware, that's a higher layer of abstraction; I only used the PAC crates.)

Problems flashing custom firmware to the nice!nano
I'm compiling a very stripped down example from https://github.com/embassy-rs/nrf-softdevice that should just loop forever and turn an LED on and off. I convert from a binary to the uf2 using this script linked in the adafruit bootloader repository. The command I run is uf2conv.py -c -b 0x26000 -f 0xADA52840. When running file on my binary the output is UF2 firmware image, family Nordic NRF52840, address 0x026000, 42 total blocks, exactly the same as on the ZMK image that works without a problem.
