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.

Understanding Overlays and direnv nix shell inheritance
I'm trying to understand overlays in order to make a proper rustup install (I've read that this overlay is the best way to go).
-
Diving straight into flakes with no channels?
real-world example: https://github.com/oxalica/rust-overlay/blob/master/flake.nix
-
An example providing rust toolchain for Linux/macOS using devenv.sh
In this language context specifically, if one wanted to manage their workspace with Nix I would reach for Riff and/or oxalica/rust-overlay first, since they are deliberately more aware of Rust-specific nuance. In the latter's case it has compatibility paths with rustup-toolchain files as well, for allowing your peers who can't or won't adopt Nix to continue to feel like first-class participants in the project. Another alternative I don't have experience with would be nix-community/fenix.

Introducing Riff, a Nix-based tool for automatically providing external dependencies to Rust projects
p.s. I'm not sure if it's mentioned much of anywhere, but it'd be neat if there was a way to figure out the appropriate cargo from a rust-toolchain/rust-toolchain.toml if present, ala https://github.com/oxalica/rust-overlay. Funnily enough 95% of my development time is in Rust, but I don't actually have it installed globally, fun times being a NixOS user. I'd definitely make the argument that cargo is an external dependency!
-
Have a few questions about NixOS
Many of us have moved to https://github.com/oxalica/rust-overlay over Mozilla's overlay.
-
Rust Environment and Docker Build with Nix Flakes
We added rust-overlay, so we can easily specify different rust versions without relying on nixpkgs to give us what ever rust version in there.
-
Switching from pyenv, rbenv, goenv and nvm to asdf – yujinyuz
If it's Rust, you can use https://github.com/oxalica/rust-overlay to get any version you want very easily without pinning an instance of nixpkgs just for it.
asdf does not allow you to keep three different versions of the same language, so I'm not sure how that compares? It's not super-trivial to do in Nix, but at least you can do it.
asdf is also no different than Nix when it comes to minor/major versions. You're at the mercy of what the plugin does, other than that you have to create your own plugin from scratch or make a fork. Nix has the option to patch things up more easily at least.

Fenix: rust toolchains for all channels and rust-analyzer nightly
How does this compare to https://github.com/oxalica/rust-overlay/ ? Can fenix ingest a rust-toolchain file and provide packages from it?
Can you say a bit about how this compares to oxalica’s rust overlay?
-
What made you grok Nix language?
I frequently try to do something, say use (from the README of rust overlay):

Git Workflow with Applying Patches
However, if I were to implement something like 15+ patches then i would just use flexi patch to quickly apply patches - https://github.com/bakkeby/dwm-flexipatch.
-
behavior of layout switching
I posted an issue with flexipatch's savefloats patch https://github.com/bakkeby/dwm-flexipatch/issues/362 which I believe to be a bug in the way the patch is supposed to handle layout switching.

Check out dwm-flexipatch!

Request: Guide for Dmenu, DWM, and ST install on Arch
And if you want a quick way to install patches then you should checkout u/bakkeby 's https://github.com/bakkeby/dwm-flexipatch.
- What's your favorite terminal emulator?
-
DWM. Going to rebuild and repatch. Can you recommend which "gaps" patch to use?
do yourself a favor and use https://github.com/bakkeby/dwm-flexipatch ... patching with much less trouble
-
What are the DWM patches you can't live without?
and i would recommend to use dwm-flexipatch, it makes the hole patching process very easy, and you can try out all the patches...
-
Firefox kills DWM
I just wanted to add that if anyone is experiencing this issue and using dwm-flexipatch then enabling the patch BAR_NO_COLOR_EMOJI_PATCH may solve the issue.
-
DE with as little resources usage as possible
if your not scared of changing basic C files the most lightweight you’ll get is probably dwm, try out this to more easily patch dwm if you do decide to use it.
-
Newbie to window manager, why use awesome over other dynamic wm ?
a lot of functionality can be added with patches, but you have to try and juggle those all yourself (and work out any conflicts between them yourself) - there are some projects like dwm-flexipatch to try and make it easier to deal with them, but it's way more trouble than I am interested in
