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.

Is rust used for microchip coding?
There's also RTIC which is another framework that makes concurrency trivial.
- Would generators be useful for embedded?
-
RTIC (The hardware accelerated Rust RTOS) releases v2.0.0!
Github here: https://github.com/rtic-rs/rtic
-
Are there universities that teach Rust?
At Telecom Paris, one of the top engineering schools in France, we teach Rust to undergraduate and graduate students who specialize in Embedded Systems. They get to use Rust and RTIC on STM32 based boards, and they also use Embassy for some projects.
-
When is the right time to change jobs?
If you want something more cutting edge. Try embedded Rust and checkout RTIC. I don't know if it's the real next thing. But i guess it could be fun to try.
-
In which circumstances is C++ better than Rust?
RTIC is still going strong, they are working on a 2.0 release at the moment :). There's also now embassy which provides an async runtime (and a ton of other nice things) for embedded as well :)

RTIC - RTOS and task scheduling

My negative views on Rust
That's completely incorrect. The existing ecosystem focuses on web/IO because that's were Async/Await is already being used in other languages so everyone started there. There is significant interest in writing frameworks using async rust in embedded, but the required compiler features for it are still not stable. Check out embassy. Even RTIC has experiments with async.
-
Question: Elegant way of getting a 'static reference?
But neither of them might be usable in you case. Since it looks like you're running bare-metal, a framework like RTIC can give you a initialization function and then pass "static" data to a struct that is shared between all tasks.
-
Is crate Drone already dead? Are there any alternatives? rtfm?
FYI, RTFM has been renamed to RTIC

Redis Re-Implemented with SQLite
I'm waiting for someone to implement the Redis API by swapping out the state machine in TigerBeetle (which was built modularly such that the state machine can be swapped out).

The Fastest and Safest Database [video]
I fully agree with what Prime says at the end - Joran has really set a new bar here for all future database presentations.
Hearing that the entire TigerBeetle domain logic lives in a single file [0] (and is intended to be pluggable for other OLTP use cases!) makes it 1000% more tempting to spend the weekend getting up to speed with Zig.

Building a Scalable Accounting Ledger
Why would you want to build your own accounting ledger from scratch? Accounting is a completely new domain for most engineers, and TigerBeetle (https://tigerbeetle.com/) already solves this problem.

- Tigerbeetle's Storage Fault Model
- Factor is faster than Zig

The Raft Consensus Algorithm
Maelstrom [1], a workbench for learning distributed systems from the creator of Jepsen, includes a simple (model-checked) implementation of Raft and an excellent tutorial on implementing it.
Raft is a simple algorithm, but as others have noted, the original paper includes many correctness details often brushed over in toy implementations. Furthermore, the fallibility of real-world hardware (handling memory/disk corruption and grey failures), the requirements of real-world systems with tight latency SLAs, and a need for things like flexible quorum/dynamic cluster membership make implementing it for production a long and daunting task. The commit history of etcd and hashicorp/raft, likely the two most battle-tested open source implementations of raft that still surface correctness bugs on the regular tell you all you need to know.
The tigerbeetle team talks in detail about the real-world aspects of distributed systems on imperfect hardware/non-abstracted system models, and why they chose viewstamp replication, which predates Paxos but looks more like Raft.

CWE Top Most Dangerous Software Weaknesses
> There is no reason to use a memory unsafe language anymore, except legacy codebases, and that is also slowly but surely diminishing. I'm still yet to hear this amazingly compelling reason that you just need memory unsafe languages. In terms of cost/benefits analysis, memory unsafety is literally all costs.
Tell that to the authors of new memory unsafe languages (like Zig) and creators of new project in those languages (like https://tigerbeetle.com) :(
