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.

Where do I start for creating a windowed app in pure rust?
If you find dealing with the Obj-C bindings a bit daunting (I would), I'd recommend you use the objc crate. That will like you dive into the details of creating and updating Mac windows without having to figure out how to call Objective C from Rust.

Calling Apple built-in (Swift) APIs from Rust
There is https://github.com/SSheldon/rust-objc which is abandoned.

How to capture the contents of applications' windows and display them in real-time
On macOS, per-window capture is actually exceedingly easy and officially supported by Apple, either including window shadows or not. I'm not aware of any crate for doing it cross-platform, but the way to do it on macOS is documented all over the Internet and the bindings you need are in the objc and core-graphics crates.

GPU computing on Apple Silicon
That looks like Objective C, not C. You can call Objective C methods from Rust via the objc crate.

macOS Apps in Rust
A bit late, but `swift-bridge` (https://github.com/chinedufn/swift-bridge) does this intelligently, and is probably what you're looking for.
- swift-bridge 0.1.37 supports passing `Box<dyn FnOnce(A, B) -> C>` from Rust to Swift

Rust playground on iOS
4) Another route that I tried is to develop a simple terminal app using SwiftUI with a Xcode project to build that app + link against a Rust library compiled for iOS with the actual logic. I used swift-bridge for this and it works really well, to the point where I have a custom logger that you can simply use the print stuff to SwiftUI from Rust using the log crate. Once I have a bit more time, I will probably try figuring out how to clean this up a bit more.

Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here! (28/2022)!
Since Swift is your first target, I might recommend swift-bridge which can generate bindings for Rust async fns that Swift can call directly.

What's everyone working on this week (18/2022)?
I'm working on getting my GUI crate (https://github.com/audulus/rui) working on iOS (https://github.com/audulus/rui-ios). Multitouch will be fun. Shout out to the excellent work in swift-bridge: https://github.com/chinedufn/swift-bridge.

swift-bridge: type-safe interop between Swift and Rust
So that class SwiftString was actually unused. I've removed it here https://github.com/chinedufn/swift-bridge/pull/33 .

swift-bridge now supports calling async Rust functions from Swift
Here's an example of a Rust library that exposes an async function that uses reqwest to make an API call, and a main.swift that calls that async function.
