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.

Why is there no standard way of removing the mutability property from a reference?
Is perfectly valid Rust code. And there's reborrow, too.

Let's thank who have helped us in the Rust Community together!
I truly appreciate how much effort u/ehuss puts into maintaining The Rust Reference, considering that documenting stuff is not usually a fun task people want to do. Not to mention that ehuss is also the Cargo team lead, responsible for developing one of the most loved tools in Rust. ehuss's insightful knowledge always ensures that Cargo works without unexpected surprises.

noob question about moving references
Here is (somewhat long) discussion on the topic with other examples: https://github.com/rust-lang/reference/issues/788

Announcing Rust 1.66.0
The PR for updating the documentation is here, still under discussion: https://github.com/rust-lang/reference/pull/1055
-
Can someone please explain this to me? How does the compiler know about this for more advanced cases and when does it do this?
thank you this is definitely interesting and i need to read more. For anyone else, this is the thing I found about this issue when I looked it up. It's a github issue about how little documentation there is on the subject and that there should be more. Even the initial post has a lot of interesting details and links. Thanks for bringing it up although sorry it seems your comment went a bit over the heads of some redditors.

GAT section in new version of Rust book?
For the rust reference, there is an open pull request https://github.com/rust-lang/reference/pull/1265/

Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here! (33/2022)!
&mut * is reborrowing which is allowed

Why is rust so difficult to learn?
Officialhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAl-9HwD858&list=PLqbS7AVVErFiWDOAVrPt7aYmnuuOLYvOa The official rust book Rust by example The rust docs Rustlings the most fun way imo

PSA - Most Rust tooling runs only on the default feature set and current platform if no special steps are taken
I've opened a PR to add this more prominently to the Conditional Compilation entry in the Rust reference.

Announcing `compact_str` version 0.7! A small string optimization for Rust
I didn't use any inline asm, instead I wrote the simplest if statement possible, which I confirmed on x86_64, x86, and aarch64 compiles down to use the platform's supported conditional move instructions. If this changes in the future and there's a need to write inline asm, you can do so in a portable way, e.g. the cmov crate.

Shoot me straight.
There's also cpufeatures which might suit your use case better (depending on exactly how you want to do it).

Crate for AES256 - which one to choose? Questions about block cipher modes and AEAD too.
I have seen that RustCrypto also offers a create for securely zeroing memory with: zeroize
-
`kindly`: a simplistic (and hopefully educational) implementation of a set-user-ID-root program (think mini `sudo`) for Linux
The zeroing routine itself looks fine to me. You might want to compare your code with the (already mentioned) zeroize crate, which does something similar (or maybe identical?).

Maybe found a Y2k bug in the rust-crypto DER-encoding util?
To save a few clicks, this was found to be, indeed, a Y2K issue, and der v0.4.1 has just been released to fix it. Citing the comment added to the issue after the fact:

Incredibly fast UTF-8 validation
I opened a tracking issue for that.

Now that the long-awaited const generics (MVP) have come to stable in 1.51, what crates are going to gain the most from it?
