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.

ffizz: Build a Beautiful C API in Rust
Rust supports two kinds of FFI: calling into Rust from another language; and calling into another language from Rust. Most of the thought and tooling that exists right now is organized around the second kind. For example, bindgen is a popular tool that generates useful Rust wrappers from a C or C++ header file.

Best practices in creating a Rust API for a C++ library? Seeking advice from those who've done it before.
I have looked into bindgen, but found that it would not be feasible due to OMPL not having a C API, just C++.
-
the graphics driver doesn't work on gentoo.
Yes! Are you running LLVM version 16.0.0 or newer, by any chance? I believe this is an issue with some builds of bindgen with newer versions of LLVM. See https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-bindgen/issues/2488

Any sort of plugin engine with dynamic load ability and any limitations?
On native, you have to define a C API, probably using a header file. Even if both sides are implemented in Rust, they have to speak that C API (documentation).

How can I use rust libraries in C++
Bindgen has some functionality for direct talk to C++ https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-bindgen

I implemented a NASA image compression algorithm
It looks like the guy you're replying too was kind of an ass, but I do want to point out for anyone else reading that that's not actually that much of a technical limitation: rust code can natively call C code. The main thing you need is a translation of the C library's header file so rustc knows what C functions and structs exist, and that can be automatically generated with bindgen.

Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here (5/2023)!
It's quite the different approach, but you could consider using bindgen instead.

US NGO Consumer Reports also reporting on C and C++ safety for product development.
While I'd also not really like that it's made easier by binding-generators (rust-bindgen for example generates bindings to C (and to some extent C++)). You'll most likely still wanna wrap the generated code into an idiomatic rust API but at least the super painful work can be automated.

Google says Rust is the key to cutting Android vulnerabilities
Using C libraries from Rust is straightforward with bindgen. Using C++-libraries is less so, but should be doable using cxx. Fortunately, I haven't had a need for that myself, so I can't say how much of a hassle it is.

Haskell ghost knowledge; difficult to access, not written down
Cool. I added a few features (#30, #31) to superrecord that I needed in order to synthesise the record type from JSON at runtime, so I'd probably have to wait until those are ported to give it a try (unfortunately rather swamped at the moment so can't find the time to port those features myself right now).
superrecord, an otherwise nice anonymous records library, will probably throw an exception or silently fail for records with >=128 fields and it's not documented anywhere except an unmerged PR from 2017
