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.

Proptest strategies the hard way
Proptest is a Rust crate for property-based testing. Recently I wanted/needed to manually implement a proptest strategy for my own type, and I realized that there is not that much material on how to do it. So I wrote a post where I tried to describe what I learned. It's a bit niche, but I hope that someone at some point will find it useful.

Yes exactly, you can also add to this fuzzing and property based testing.

The birth of a package manager [written in Rust :)]
proptest is great! It generates random input data according to some rules, and if the input fails it saves random seed into a file so that failing inputs are guaranteed to be tested on the subsequent runs (as well as new random inputs). It also doesn't immediately stop on fail but tries to find a minimal failing input first.

Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here (11/2023)!
The only other crate I could find is proptest, but it looks a lot more complicated, and I don't know if lets you skip the shrinking step as quickcheck does. I've been reading the book and going through the docs, but a quick answer would be appreciated.

Announcing Proptest 1.1.0
We just released proptest 1.1.0, a property-testing framework for Rust. Proptest has recently found new maintainers, and this marks the first new release of proptest in ~2 years.

Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here! (32/2022)!
Hi, I'm working on a fuzzer, that fuzzes APIs based on OpenAPI specification. I'd like to implement shrinking. It means that when an interesting input (for the API) is found, I'd like to create the smallest possible input that still causes the same behaviour of the API. I'd like to implement a payload generation via proptest, because it already has the shrinking ability. I'm having issues implementing the JSON object as a proptest strategy. Here is what I tried so far. I explained it in a detail in stackoverflow question but it did not reach many people. Thanks for your help!

Which Mutex to use in this case (independent tasks, partially under contention)
Third, if you're opting out of a compile-time safety guarantee in the name of performance, test heavily (high-coverage unit tests, property testing, fuzzing, differential fuzzing, etc.) and make use of tools like Loom and Miri's runtime data race detector for unsafe code, which can catch stuff that is beyond the scope of the compiler's guarantees.

Microsoft Maintains Go Fork for FIPS 140-2 Support

Borgo is a statically typed language that compiles to Go
I'm not sure what exactly you mean by acknowledgement, but here are some counterexamples:
- A proposal for sum types by a Go team member: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/57644
- The community proposal with some comments from the Go team: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/19412
Here are some excerpts from the latest Go survey [1]:
- "The top responses in the closed-form were learning how to write Go effectively (15%) and the verbosity of error handling (13%)."
- "The most common response mentioned Go’s type system, and often asked specifically for enums, option types, or sum types in Go."
I think the problem is not the lack of will on the part of the Go team, but rather that these issues are not easy to fix in a way that fits the language and doesn't cause too many issues with backwards compatibility.

AWS Serverless Diversity: Multi-Language Strategies for Optimal Solutions
Now, I’m not going to use C++ again; I left that chapter years ago, and it’s not going to happen. C++ isn’t memory safe and easy to use and would require extended time for developers to adapt. Rust is the new kid on the block, but I’ve heard mixed opinions about its developer experience, and there aren’t many libraries around it yet. LLRD is too new for my taste, but **Go** caught my attention.

How to use Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) for Go applications
Generative AI development has been democratised, thanks to powerful Machine Learning models (specifically Large Language Models such as Claude, Meta's LLama 2, etc.) being exposed by managed platforms/services as API calls. This frees developers from the infrastructure concerns and lets them focus on the core business problems. This also means that developers are free to use the programming language best suited for their solution. Python has typically been the go-to language when it comes to AI/ML solutions, but there is more flexibility in this area. In this post you will see how to leverage the Go programming language to use Vector Databases and techniques such as Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) with langchaingo. If you are a Go developer who wants to how to build learn generative AI applications, you are in the right place!

OpenBSD 7.5 Released
When Go first shipped, it was already well-documented that the only stable ABI on some platforms was via dynamic libraries (such as libc) provided by said platforms. Go knowingly and deliberately ignored this on the assumption that they can get away with it. And then this happened:
https://github.com/golang/go/issues/16606
If that's not "getting burned", I don't know what is. "Trying to provide a nice feature" is an excuse, and it can be argued that it is a valid one, but nevertheless they knew that they were using an unstable ABI that could be pulled out from under them at any moment, and decided that it's worth the risk. I don't see what that has to do with "not being as broadly compatible as they had hoped", since it was all known well in advance.
