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.

The Unicode Consortium announces ICU4X 1.0, its new high-performance internationalization library. It's written in Rust, with official C++ and JavaScript wrappers available.
Oh, and the "fix" was to replace crate with pub(crate) all over the code: https://github.com/rust-lang/packed_simd/pull/344

OctaSine, a FM-based VST2 synthesizer written in Rust
At some point, I decided that I wanted to accelerate the synthesis with SIMD. I started out with using packed_simd, but switched to simdeez to abstract over vector widths and enable runtime detection. However, I wanted more flexibility and the option of splitting SIMD code into multiple functions. My solution was to skip frameworks and instead use custom traits and the duplicate crate to abstract over Rust simd instrinsics for different instruction sets. I use sleef for fast sines.

OctaSine v0.7.0 released (free and open source FM synth VST plugin for macOS/Windows/Linux) with major improvements
For instance, I ended up contributing a large part of the macOS implementation of https://github.com/RustAudio/baseview for plugin window handling, since nothing filling the need existed (baseview works pretty well now, though.)

Official /r/rust "Who's Hiring" thread for job-seekers and job-offerers [Rust 1.55]
I have been working in Rust for about 4 years, mainly as the developer of aquatic and OctaSine and as a contributor to baseview. I have prior experience in web development using technologies such as actix-web, TypeScript, React, Django and PostgreSQL.

OctaSine, a FM-based VST2 synthesizer written in Rust
I eventually decided that I wanted a GUI. The Rust GUI situation is not very mature and special considerations required for vst plugin windows complicate the situation further. I discovered baseview at some point. With the mentoring of wrl and others, I was able to contribute code to get it working on macOS.

xcb-sys: raw bindings to XCB, generated with rust-bindgen
For context, I am working on/contributing to a cross-platform windowing library, and the situation is the same with the Windows and macOS platform APIs. I don't really need or want a safe abstraction over any of these, because what I am working on is the safe abstraction.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing packed_simd and baseview you can also consider the following projects:
OctaSine - Frequency modulation synthesizer plugin (VST2, CLAP). Runs on macOS, Windows and Linux.
lazy-regex - lazy static regular expressions checked at compile time
duplicate - Easy code duplicate with substitution for Rust
vst-rs - VST 2.4 API implementation in rust. Create plugins or hosts. Previously rust-vst on the RustDSP group.
simdeez - easy simd
bacon - background rust code check
iced_baseview - A baseview backend for the Iced GUI library
aho-corasick - A fast implementation of Aho-Corasick in Rust.
