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.

A Beginner’s Guide to the Solana Web3 Stack
Rust can feel a bit intimidating at first but once you start getting the hang of it, you will enjoy it a lot. It has a very well articulated documentation, which can be used as a good learning resource too. Some other resources for Rust include Rustlings and Rust-By-Example.

Rust by Example: read lines - Why is the second example more efficient?
I think something went wrong there, I can find this (merged) PR with https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-by-example/pull/1679/files that has the first example collecting into a string, (which is obv less effective). It was merged 2 weeks ago. I dont know why it isnt online yet.

Picking Up Rust Before C With My Goals In Mind?
I more or less went straight from The Book (see also Rust by Example) to Learning Rust With Entirely Too Many Linked Lists and code::dive conference 2014 - Scott Meyers: Cpu Caches and Why You Care and I've often seen PNGme suggested as the next step after that.

From High-Level to Systems Programming: A Practical Guide to Rust, Part 2
The Rust By Example website is another helpful resource for learning Rust. It provides a series of interactive examples that demonstrate how to use various Rust features and libraries.

How to learn Rust (for backend) ?
The book is great and was my original introduction to the language, but rustlings or Rust By Example might be more interesting for an interactive (and more self paced) approach.

Learning rust
Rust by Example: Rust by Example is a collection of runnable examples that cover a wide range of Rust concepts and standard libraries. It's a great way to see how Rust code works in practice.

The Linux Kernel Prepares for Rust 1.77 Upgrade
Rust is backwards compatible when you stick to stable features, but the kernel uses unstable features that can and do incur breaking changes.

Mark Russinovich: “Working towards enabling Windows driver development in Rust”
> How would this work?
Don't know exactly what you're asking.
> And why would it be a better idea?
Poorly written device drivers are a significant attack vector. It's one of the reasons Linux is now exploring using Rust for its own device drivers.[0] You may be asking -- why Rust and not some other language? Rust has many of the performance and interoperability advantages of C and C++, but as noted, makes certain classes of memory safety issues impossible. Rust also has significant mindshare among systems programming communities.

The Linux Kernel Module Programming Guide
Ctrl-F "rust"
https://rust-for-linux.com/ links to LWN articles at https://lwn.net/Kernel/Index/#Development_tools-Rust that suggest that only basic modules are yet possible with the rust support in Linux kernels 6.2 and 6.3.
Rust-for-linux links to the Android binder module though:
> Android Binder Driver: This project is an effort to rewrite Android's Binder kernel driver in Rust.
> Motivation: Binder is one of the most security and performance critical components of Android. Android isolates apps from each other and the system by assigning each app a unique user ID (UID). This is called "application sandboxing", and is a fundamental tenet of the Android Platform Security Model.
> The majority of inter-process communication (IPC) on Android goes through Binder. Thus, memory unsafety vulnerabilities are especially critical when they happen in the Binder driver
... "Rust in the Linux kernel" (2021) https://security.googleblog.com/2021/04/rust-in-linux-kernel... :
> [...] We also need designs that allow code in the two languages to interact with each other: we're particularly interested in safe, zero-cost abstractions that allow Rust code to use kernel functionality written in C, and how to implement functionality in idiomatic Rust that can be called seamlessly from the C portions of the kernel.
> Since Rust is a new language for the kernel, we also have the opportunity to enforce best practices in terms of documentation and uniformity. For example, we have specific machine-checked requirements around the usage of unsafe code: for every unsafe function, the developer must document the requirements that need to be satisfied by callers to ensure that its usage is safe; additionally, for every call to unsafe functions (or usage of unsafe constructs like dereferencing a raw pointer), the developer must document the justification for why it is safe to do so.
> We'll now show how such a driver would be implemented in Rust, contrasting it with a C implementation. [...]
This guide with unsafe rust that calls into the C, and then with next gen much safer rust right next to it would be a helpful resource too.

how to compile a rust "hello world" with kernel 6.1?
Note that this template won't work with Linux 6.1, which has very minimal Rust support. You'll want the RustForLinux tree, or maybe Linux 6.2.
