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.

Bugs Rust Won't Catch
To be fair, Vec::set_len bug in Rust was in 2021. And even then it had to be annotated as `unsafe`. It was then deprecated and a linter check was added: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/7681

Debloat Your Async Rust
It's interesting that you can remove a constant state machines by just returning impl Future with return std::future::ready(return_value). They even developed a lint[1] to tell users about it. https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/pull/16244
Could the compiler not identify this case and perform the transformation automatically?

Why We Chose Rust For Spin
cargo, rustfmt, clippy, rust-analyzer, and Rust’s robust unit testing capabilities together form a powerful ecosystem for managing large-scale projects like Spin.

Automated Testing and Dev Containers
Firstly, I added a section to run the code formatter rustfmt and the linter clippy:

More than you've ever wanted to know about errors in Rust
I couldn't find it in the API guidelines either. From what I understand, the idea is that any trait bounds, which includes generic type parameter bounds and lifetime bound on a type (struct or enum) would be repeated back in the impl block
there is a nice discussion on this issue here: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/1689

New clippy lint: detecting `&mut` which could be `&` in function arguments
You should not blindly follow clippy lints. They are sometimes wrong. Another example https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/9782 .
- Let else will finally be formatted by rustfmt soon

My deduplication solution written in Rust beats everything else: casync, borg...
I often write () = f() to assert that f() is unit. Unfortunately clippy warns on such code ( https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/9048 ). There are very recent pull requests for this bug, so hopefully this bug will be fixed very soon. But meanwhile I invented this workaround: [()] = [f()] :)

Any open source projects willing to take in juniors?
Apart from running clippy on many projects being essential, clippy is also an exceptionally welcoming project, no matter your prior knowledge.

Any new Opensource projects in (rust) looking for contributors. I want to start my journey as an OSS contributor.
clippy is a great place to get started :) though it isn't exactly new.

Variation on Iota
Ooh, I've run into this one before! I'm a big fan of interval index[0], which performs a binary search, so Josh's suggestion is the one I prefer as well. Searching for +`≠¨ in my BQN files turns up a few uses, including one used to group primitives into types in a utility involved in compiling BQN[1] and an annotated function used a few times in the markdown processor that builds BQN's website[2].

Zoo of Array Languages
It depends on the language and who wrote the code.

Ask HN: What is a programming language that you don't use at work but enjoy?
BQN[1] (an APL variant). There is something really beautiful/elegant to me about composing higher order functions in a purely point free way. Array programming is a nice application of this, and this one has the best ergonomics.

Bare minimum atw-style K interpreter for learning purposes
I recommend checking BQN at https://mlochbaum.github.io/BQN/ and the YouTube channel code_report by Conor Hoekstra (and also "Composition Intuition by Conor Hoekstra | Lambda Days 2023"). It is well documented.

Uiua: Weekly challenge 242
Uiua is an interesting new language. Strongly influenced by APL and BQN, it's array-oriented and stack-based. To explore it briefly, I will walk through my solutions to this week's Perl weekly challenge (242).
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Clippy and BQN you can also consider the following projects:
Rust for Visual Studio Code
APL - another APL derivative
rust.vim - Vim configuration for Rust.
april - The APL programming language (a subset thereof) compiling to Common Lisp.
vscode-rust
TablaM - The practical relational programing language for data-oriented applications
