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.

bioinformatic libraries and zig?
Does anyone know of zig native libraries for bioinformatics (here is a Rust example https://rust-bio.github.io/ )? It seems as though one could pull in a lot of bioinformatics C libraries such as done with https://github.com/brentp/hts-zig.

What are your top 3-5 programming languages and why?
I would start with the book and then rust-bio library. Rust is a pretty low level language compared to R/Python. It’s an especially good fit for writing efficient tools that make use of the kinds of algorithms / data structures that are implemented in rust-bio.

I have to admit. The free code camp course is a bit more sparing than I would have preferred. How did everyone learn Rust?
Absolutely! It already is, e.g., https://github.com/rust-bio/rust-bio. I'm moving from the academia/nonprofit world into industry bioinformatics, and I intend to use Rust as much as possible. I've already replaced as much of my Python as possible with Rust. I feel I'm able to create larger, more complex programs with Rust because I have the compiler to keep me from making common mistakes that are so easy to make in dynamically typed languages like Perl and Python. It might take longer to write a program initially, but I've started to create a library of functions I can paste together to do things like parse a positive integer, find a bunch of files with a certain file extension, search through data for a pattern, parse CSV files, etc. Writing my latest book has provided even more common patterns I keep finding I use over and over.

Is learning Rust and systems programming through the books Rust in Action and Crafting Interpreters a good idea?
I think there is huge potential for Rust in bioinformatics, and there are already some great projects like https://rust-bio.github.io/. It seems industry is also hiring for these skills. This Nature article is a little old, but also covers why people in the field are looking for greater safety and performance. It's relatively easy to write a Python program to do bio stuff, but it's also very easy to get lots of things wrong or for the resulting program to be slow and/or impossible to extend and maintain. In the long run, I think it makes sense to write in Rust. Perl was king in biofx when I started, and I would not have predicted it being displaced by Python, so there's good reason to believe that Python may one day be eclipsed by Rust.

Whats your favourite open source Rust project that needs more recognition?
Well, someone mentioned https://rust-bio.github.io/

How can one make Rust excel in the Sciences
So generally stuff in this maths/numerical space. The term is a bit deceptive because it rarely means domain-specific science libraries like rust-bio even thought that might be what you think when you hear "scientific computing".

Stuck at 4.3 of the rust book. It's so hard for me.
There's also Easy Rust, an effort in translating the Rust Book into Simple English (limited vocabulary, limited use of idioms), which has now become a Book.

Easy Rust has been reborn on Manning as Learn Rust in a Month of Lunches
Up on Manning starting this week is a book I wrote / am writing called Learn Rust in a Month of Lunches, whose origins date back to Easy Rust that people here might be familiar with and which I wrote 2 years ago. The first six chapters are now up on MEAP which is pretty exciting. (The code mlmacleod gives 45% off until February 2 btw)

I have returned
Along with the Book, I wrote a book after learning Rust that's for absolute beginners, and doesn't even require installing Rust. It's almost entirely done in the Playground so you can just open up a tab in your browser and follow along. As far as paid books are concerned, my favourite is Programming Rust.

What is the best course to start learning?
I made a book for absolute complete beginners, after which the Book should be easy to understand. After that I'd recommend Programming Rust (my favourite book on Rust).

Newbie here. Just finished reading the book. What now?

Rust course
Depends on what language you come from. I found this a decent enough intro for most languages: https://github.com/Dhghomon/easy_rust

It's been 20 days since I started learning rust as my first language. Terrible experience. Should I move forward?
I put together a book that goes over most of the same content found in The Book but written with easy / straightforward English (partially for English L2 speakers but also for English speakers that just want the info in as straightforward a package as possible).
