The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
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.

clap with Ed Page :: Rustacean Station
WG-CLI: Check out the team repo for anyone interested in collaborating on making CLIs better.

Ouch 0.3.0 released!
I'm a little leery of clap taking on the role of color control. I've found that each library with "auto" support does it slightly differently and that really the best place for that policy is in the caller so there is a consistent experience and so it can adapt to the caller's needs. The WG-CLI has talked about this in the past and concolor family of crates is the result. I'm waiting on feedback for termcolor's use case (non-ANSI) before going 1.0 at which point we will probably make this the backend for clap's auto color support.

What's the coolest Rust project you've seen that made you go, 'Wow, I didn't know Rust could do that!'?
Hope you are aware that structopt is in maintenance mode and is merged into clap as of v3.

Task manager for Linux using rust
As I understood you need to implement a command line argument parser for that you can use clap https://github.com/clap-rs/clap or structopt https://github.com/TeXitoi/structopt.

clap with Ed Page :: Rustacean Station
I feel like discovering moves like this is a weakness in the ecosystem today. You can check out some of our discussion on raising visibility

clap 3.1: A step towards 4.0
Something I've been giving thought to is how to help structopt users discover that clap3 is their upgrade path. We've put notices in the structopt repo but cargo upgrade and docs.rs won't say anything. See https://github.com/TeXitoi/structopt/issues/525 for more ideas we're considering.

ANN: clap 3.0.0-rc.0!
For myself, I have found serde.rs really useful for undertanding their derives while I've always been frustrated with finding anything in structopt's documentation, so I modeled it more off of serde. This ended up both being in structure and not being in docs.rs. I think it really was the structure that was the frustration point for me but there was interest elsewhere in moving stuff out of docs.rs.

fncmd: Command line interface as a function.
I think it would be nice to have a comparison to clap-derive and/or structopt in the README, as that is what I expect most users would compare this to. The subcommand handling looks especially cumbersome compared to deriving on structs and enums.

Linkerd 2.11 now includes a Kubernetes controller written in Rust
However, the one place I'm a little curious to rewrite things is the CLI... every time we have to deal with cobra I long for Rust's structopt.

vaultssh: A small CLI wrapper for authenticating with SSH keys from Hashicorp Vault
Have you tried https://github.com/TeXitoi/structopt ?

SwayWS - a sway workspace tool which allows easy moving of workspaces to and from outputs
It is written in Rust using the structopt and swayipc crates. It is published on crates.io. The repository is hosted on GitLab. The repository is mirrored on GitHub.
