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.

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.

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.

Rust Learning Note: Exception Handling
We can utilize third-party libraries to simplify the code above. For example thiserror (https://github.com/dtolnay/thiserror) provides convenien derive macro for Error trait:
- I can't get my mind around Result, Option, or basically how control flow works in most Rust programs

Ideas for crafting CLI in Rust
thiserror crate makes it easy to do so using macros on CliError enum.

I love building a startup in Rust. I wouldn't pick it again.
Depending on your use case, thiserror and/or anyhow.

Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here (52/2022)!
What is the benefit of splitting a proc-macro crate into (usually) two crates, proc_macro_crate and proc_macro_crate_impl? Why not just have one crate? Does it offer any benefits to to overall compilation times? An example of this can be seen in the thiserror crate where there's a thiserror and thiserror_impl crate.

Parsing of DeviceId
You might want to use thiserror to generate implementation for Error and Display.

Generics can make your Go code slower
I dont think you realize how ridiculous this comment is. Youre comparing 10 lines of Go, with 200 of Rust:

Is this a good way of handling errors in Rust?
There are crates out there that help you reduce this boiler plate. thiserror is good for creating custom errors and color-eyre or anyhow are good for dynamic errors.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing pico-args and thiserror you can also consider the following projects:
lexopt - Minimalist pedantic command line parser
anyhow - Flexible concrete Error type built on std::error::Error
xflags
color-eyre - Custom hooks for colorful human oriented error reports via panics and the eyre crate
