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.

- Improving build times for derive macros by 3x or more

Need a new args parser
That's because the maintainer does not consider it an issue but an implementation detail: https://github.com/RazrFalcon/pico-args/issues/15
-
An alternative to clap but with a stable API?
Maybe pico-args then?
-
Immediately off the top of your head what is the best Rust CLI library.
If I forget to get around to it, would you mind poking RazrFalcon/pico-args about adding it to the comparison chart? I really like using that thing as something I can link people to with just a quick explanation of that particular trade-off.

Best CLI arg parser for use in Rust to port from Perl with Getopt::Long?
If fewer dependencies is better, you can't get much fewer than pico-args, which has zero dependencies.
- What is the current proper way to get command line args ?
-
Creating an Argparse library [feedback would be appreciated]
You might also want to check out pico-args, Gumdrop, and lexopt to see if any of them meet your needs.
-
Can we please stop downvoting people who dislike Rust?
For example, The Rust compiler isn't slow; we are. and pico-args: Alternatives.

New:`cargo-fuzzcheck` 0.5.0 and a series of decent, fast-to-compile crates to replace `syn`, `quote`, `serde-json`, and `toml-rs`
For example, I'd love to go from StructOpt to Gumdrop for parsing command-line arguments and cut my compile times and output size by an order of magnitude, but Gumdrop uses String internally, which means it'll panic if it encounters a Windows path with un-paired surrogates or a mojibake'd posix path... some of which I actually have.

Yet another command line argument parser: bpaf 0.5.2
You can check out the argparse-benchmarks-rs though that only gives a high level summary.

Gex: Git CLI inspired by Emac's Magit built in Rust
So besides the git2 conversation, I'd recommend using an argument parser even if its for something basic like lexopt just for help/version, at least you'd error for unrecognized arguments and can more easily expand it in the future.
-
New alternative for clap (declarative, basic and simple)
Unclear whether it has a solid advantage over other things listed at rust-cli/argparse-benchmarks-rs or whether it's just an "I didn't research what already existed" project.
-
GitHub - epage/parse-benchmarks-rs
I'm tempted to collect all of these benchmark repos into a github org to make them easier to find. So far I know of parser, md, argparse, and template languages.

How do i learn about new crates?
Not strictly an answer to your question, but https://github.com/rust-cli/argparse-benchmarks-rs provides a good survey of option parsing crates in Rust.

Best cobra alternative for rust.
As others have mentioned clap is one of the more popular, featureful CLI parsers though it does come at a compile time and binary size cost. We are working on improving that. See argparse-benchmarks for by-the-numbers comparison for the different parsers (ie only stats and no full feature lists). Clap is used by ripgrep, cargo, and many other tools
-
Announcing clap_lex 0.1!
Compared to lexopt, which inspired this effort, clap_lex makes some different trade offs for flexibility and ergonomics which allows it to handle every case clap needs. There is room for more ergonomic improvements as the MVP was written for clap's needs. argparse-benchmarks-rs has been updated and clap_lex is roughly in line with lexopt for build-times and binary size.

Yet another command line argument parser: bpaf 0.4.0
See https://github.com/rust-cli/argparse-benchmarks-rs/blob/main/examples/bpaf-app/app.rs

Yet another command line argument parser: bpaf
btw there are the argparse benchmarks which can be interesting points of comparison (though I haven't decided what is the criteria for being added to it yet).
What are some alternatives?
