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.

Feedback needed from first low-level language learners of Rust
I wrote a fairly long post on how it happened for me. Starts out with how Logo turned me off programming as a child and a bunch of other stuff, and the part that relates to learning Rust as a first language starts at the "That was when I gave Rust a try for the first time" part.

Should I learn another language?
I have a blog post on that given how rare it is, but the tl;dr of it is that Rust completely cured my wanderlust for other languages and the more I saw if it the more I wanted to see. With other languages I just found myself wondering if it was really the best use of my time and whether I should be learning another one instead.
-
As my first programming language, should I learn Rust? I have zero programming or computer science experience.
Too late! I already did it as my first language.
-
Is this a good resource to learn Rust?
Indeed I can - I wrote a whole post about it. The key takeway is that it was the perfect first language for me because it was the first language where I never felt wanderlust for others while learning.
-
People who learned rust as their first language, what made you choose it?
It's my first language (unless you include Basic in the 80s) because it's the only one where I didn't feel wanderlust for any other languages after I discovered it. I had tried like 10 others and kept switching, only learning the basics. I wrote a long post on the experience here.

In Rust for Python: A Match from Heaven
This story unfolds as a captivating journey where the agile Flounder, representing the Python programming language, navigates the vast seas of coding under the wise guidance of Sebastian, symbolizing Rust. Central to their adventure are three powerful tridents: cargo, PyO3, and maturin.

Calling Rust from Python
I would not recommend FFI + ctypes. Maintaining the bindings is tedious and error-prone. Also, Rust FFI/unsafe can be tricky even for experienced Rust devs.
Instead PyO3 [1] lets you "write a native Python module in Rust", and it works great. A much better choice IMO.

Python 3.12
Same w/ Rust and Python, this is really neat because now each thread could have a GIL without doing exactly what you said. The pyO3 commit to allow subinterpreters was merged 21 days ago, so this might "just work" today: https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/3446

Removing Garbage Collection from the Rust Language (2013)
I expected someone to write a rust-based scripting language which tightly integrated with rust itself.
In reality, it seems like the python developers and toolchain are embracing rust enough to reduce the benefits to a new alternative.

Bytewax: Stream processing library built using Python and Rust
Hey HN! I am one of the people working on Bytewax. Bytewax came out of our experience working with ML infrastructure at GitHub. We wanted to use Python because we could move fast, the team was very fluent in it, and the rest of our tooling was Python-native already. We didn't want to introduce JVM-based solutions into our stack because of the lack of experience and the friction we had trying to get Python-centric tooling working with existing solutions like Flink.
In our research, we found Timely Dataflow (https://timelydataflow.github.io/timely-dataflow/, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24837031) and the Naiad project (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/project/naiad/) as well as PyO3 (https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3) and we thought we found a match made in heaven :). Bytewax leverages both of these projects and builds on them to provide a clean API (at least we think so) and table stakes features like connectors, state recovery, and cloud-native scaling. It has been really cool to learn about the dataflow computation model, Rust, and how to wrangle the GIL with Rust and Python :P.
Would love to get your feedback :).
`pip install bytewax` to get started. We have a page of guides (https://www.bytewax.io/guides) with ready-to-run examples.

Tell HN: Rust Is the Superglue
You can practice your Rust skills by writing performant and/or gluey extensions for higher-level language such as NodeJS (checkout napi-rs) and Python or complementing JS in the browser if you target Webassembly.
For instance, checkout Llama-node https://github.com/Atome-FE/llama-node for an involved Rust-based NodeJS extension. Python has PyO3, a Rust-Python extension toolset: https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3.
They can help you leverage your Rust for writing cool new stuff.
