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.

Tauri 2.0 tries to make mobile apps crossplatform
Another (also Rust-based) cross-platform mobile app dev kit is crux [1]. I've never used it, but the core idea of "true native UIs with a shared business logic core via IPC" seems like the sweet spot to my mostly untrained sensibilities.

Jason - great work here. Your Swift code looks like mine :) on this, some folks in the UK have created Crux - an interesting abstraction layer for mobile apps using Rust. Might provide some ideas for optimisation/ipc. https://github.com/redbadger/crux

Rustling Up Cross-Platform Development
Recently, I stumbled upon a project at the Rust London conference that caught my eye. It's called Crux, and it's a library that helps you implement a functional core and imperative shell paradigm. In other words, it allows you to separate your app logic from your UI code, and share it between platforms.

Bun, JavaScript, and TCO
To use this in Bun, you’d have to start Bun with the environment variable “BUN_JSC_useDollarVM=1” and then $vm.createBuiltin(mySourceCodeString)
When using this intrinsic, if any of the arguments are incorrect or it cannot otherwise enable it, the entire process will probably crash. In debug builds of JSC it will have a nicer assertion failure but that is not enabled in release builds
Example code: https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/blob/17351231b4dedb62d81721...
also happy to answer any questions about Bun

Ah, good, let me introduce you to the wonderful world of the Chrome Devtools Protocol! (fka Chrome Remote Debugging Protocol)
I love this API for almost everything browser related. I built my RBI product atop this (BrowserBox: https://dosyago.com), and I think it's a drastically underrated API.
Also, it works out of the box in Edge, Brave, Chromium, and many parts of CRDP are supported by Firefox and Safari^1
