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.

Proteomics search engine written in Rust

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".

Identity Management Solutins
Check this: https://github.com/kanidm/kanidm/ Maybe not production ready, but looks very promising
-
Simple LDAP / user management
Kanidm is a identity management platform with a ldap compatible interface, sso and more. It's still young, but the author works on the 389 ldap server at suse, so knows how to build a secure ldap alternative :)

Kanidm: A simple, secure and fast identity management platform
Here is the OAuth/OIDC issue: https://github.com/kanidm/kanidm/issues/278
They are talking here: https://github.com/kanidm/kanidm/pull/485 about being an IdP with support for OIDC, so once that is implemented you could probably federate to Keycloak (or any other compliant IdP).
Might be worth filing an issue, I'm sure they'd love the feedback.

Kanidm, it might not sound as fun or exciting but this sound engineering driven by exceptional people. Similarly, concread.

What's everyone working on this week (36/2021)?
saml-rs, creating a SAML IdP in rust, kind of spun out of trying to do it for Kanidm.

What are SUSE's biggest contributions to the Linux world?
And now they employ one of the lead 389 Directory Server developers (now the default in SUSE instead of OpenLDAP which is is still available but is going to be depreciated). The same person is also the lead developer of Kandim, a new beta IDM that looks really promising (but is likely quite some time from being ready for enterprise production).
What are some alternatives?
