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.

Given how powerful Emacs is and how important it has been for my computing over the past four decades, I think it would be more useful to me for people to label all non-emacs articles [Not Emacs]
you might want to check remacs, a rewrite of emacs in Rust.

What would you rewrite in Rust?
Emacs. There's Remacs… well, there was Remacs. It seems the project has fizzled out.

How do the neovim plugins for OrgMode and Magit compare with the real thing?
Yeah most likely they won't mature at all. Many of the emacs-ng folks were doing an incremental Rust rewrite called Remacs before abandoning that. It's great to see these people having fun, but I wouldn't bet on them to be around in the long term.

Emacs as a universal front-end interface
There are alternative Emacs-like editors implemented in better languages like Common Lisp like Climacs which seem to be no longer maintained, there have been attempts at rewriting Emacs in Guile Scheme like Guile Emacs which have fizzled out, there are more recent attempts at implementing Emacs in Rust which isn't even a Lisp. I am really hoping Guile Emacs or Climacs see a resurrection, that or some other Lisp-based Emacs clone comes along that manages to supplant GNU Emacs. If more people would put efforts into projects like these, Emacs as a platform would be so much better than something like Electron.

Zed is now open source
Was confused until I realised I'd confused Zed, with Xi[1] which is also rust based, and which incidentally has a frontend called "Xim"..
Also there's a wiki-editor (like Tomboy[2]) called "Zim"[3].

Text Editor: Data Structures
Project site linked from the GitHub[0] is https://xi-editor.io. Linked doc is a mirror of this[1], which was afaik originally written by Raph Linus.

The Absolute Minimum Every Software Developer Must Know About Unicode in 2023
> thing that gets deleted when you hit backspace
Is there a canonical source for this part, by the way? Xi copied the logic from Android[1] (as per the issue you linked downthread), and I vaguely remember that CLDR had something to say about this too, but I don’t know if there’s any sort of consensus here that’s actually written down anywhere.

What's is a rusty way to implement sharable trees?
This is pretty much how copy-on-write ropes work. Check out xi-rope, Ropey or crop, they're all built using B-trees and implement the behavior you described.

Helix (a Kakoune / Neovim inspired editor) 23.03
Helix is awesome, though once Lapce (spiritual successor to Xi editor) gets the Helix/Kakoune editing model, I may have to jump ship

-
How to share resources between instances of program?
Maybe take a look at the Xi editor (https://xi-editor.io/) (written in rust I think) that uses a client server architecture.
-
Suitable Rust GUI Library for Code Editor?
Have a look at what Lapce uses. The editor is coming along nicely, and iirc, they use the Xi editor as a plug-in.

CRDTs make multiplayer text editing part of Zed's DNA
Raph Levien posted a retrospective about using CRDT’s for collaborative editing in xi-editor here [1]. His conclusion is
“I come to the conclusion that the CRDT is not pulling its (considerable) weight. When I think about a future evolution of xi-editor, I see a much brighter future with a simpler, largely synchronous model, that still of course has enough revision tracking to get good results with asynchronous peers like the language server.”
