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.

regex 1.8.0 released (no-op escapes allowed, (?<name>re) syntax added)
I believe you're the second person to tell me they were confused by this, so there are probably several others confused but didn't say anything. I've added a warning to the top of regex-automata's README.

After years of work and discussion, `once_cell` has been merged into `std` and stabilized
For anyone following along at home, we're having a very helpful discussion about the implementation I posted in my sibling comment here: https://github.com/BurntSushi/regex-automata/issues/30

Pomsky 0.8 released: A powerful and modern regular expression language
My current technique only gets applied to alternations of simple literals. But the idea is generalizeable and I speculate that it is actually impactful to generalize it.

Rust: A Critical Retrospective
(I could use '_ => {}' instead of 'None' to save a few more.)
I do find the 'if let' variant to be a bit easier to read. It's optimizing for a particular and somewhat common case, so it does of course overlap with 'match'. But I don't find this particular overlap to be too bad. It's usually pretty clear when to use one vs the other.
But like I said, I could live without 'if let'. It is not a major quality of life enhancement to me. Neither will its impending extensions. i.e., 'if let pattern = foo && some_booolean_condition {'.

Memchr 2.4 now has an implementation of substring search on arbitrary bytes
(The work on regex-automata 0.2 has been underway for over a year now.](https://github.com/BurntSushi/regex-automata/tree/ag/work) There's a lot done, but still a lot more to go. Once that's done, regex proper should be pretty close to a thin layer that glues regex-syntax, regex-automata, memchr and aho-corasick together. I don't currently expect regex to grow any more dependencies than that. And as it is, aho-corasick and memchr are both optional dependencies. Right now, regex-syntax is the only required dependency, but regex-automata will be added to that list.

FreeBSD evaluating Rust's adoption into base system
There is a Rust front-end for GCC that is under active development [1]. If the chip vendors are not willing to develop and upstream a LLVM back-end then they can feel free to start contributing to it.

Why do lifetimes need to be leaky?
That's why gccrs doesn't even consider lifetime checking a part of the language (they plan to use Polonius, too).

How hard would it be to port the Rust toolchain to a new non-POSIX OS written in Rust and get it to host its own development? What would that process entail?
There's ongoing work on a Rust front-end for GCC (https://github.com/Rust-GCC/gccrs). Bit barebones right now -- ie, even core doesn't compile -- but there's funding, demand, and regular progress, so it'll only get better from there. Once gccrs can compile core, it should be ready to compile most of Rust, and thus if you've taught the calling conventions for C to GCC, you're golden.
-
How hard is it to write a front end for a more complex language like Rust or Kotlin?
I recommend checking out the GCC Rust frontend project.

Rust contributions for Linux 6.4 are finally merged upstream!
That is what theyre refering to, yes. The GitHub is named https://github.com/Rust-GCC/gccrs

GCC 13 and the State of Gccrs
- But this misses so much extra context information
3. Macro invocations there are really subtle rules on how you treat macro invocations such as this which is not documented at all https://github.com/Rust-GCC/gccrs/blob/master/gcc/rust/expan...
Some day I personally want to write a blog post about how complicated and under spec'd Rust is, then write one about the stuff i do like it such as iterators being part of libcore so i don't need reactive extensions.

Any alternate Rust compilers?
(Speaking of which, Rust-GCC (or gcc-rs or gccrs or whichever other of their names they decide is the primary one) isn't even going to be a complete C++ implementation. Their plan is to implement enough to compile Polonius (the NLL 2.0 borrow checker being developed in Rust for rustc) and then share that since borrow-checking isn't necessary for codegen... only to identify and reject invalid programs... making the C++ portion of it not that different in scope from mrustc.)

Which programming languages, if all legacy code written in them was ported to a more modern language, would become extinct?
That bridge will be crossed with gccrs (compiling Rust with gcc directly, coming next month with GCC 13) and rust_codegen_gcc (rustc frontend, GCC backend, works now but just doesn’t yet have an “easy” setup)
What are some alternatives?
pomsky - A new, portable, regular expression language
gcc-rust - a (WIP) Rust frontend for gcc / a gcc backend for rustc
regex - An implementation of regular expressions for Rust. This implementation uses finite automata and guarantees linear time matching on all inputs.
rustc_codegen_gcc - libgccjit AOT codegen for rustc
grex - A command-line tool and Rust library with Python bindings for generating regular expressions from user-provided test cases
rustc_codegen_gcc - libgccjit AOT codegen for rustc
rust-memchr - Optimized string search routines for Rust.
