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):

Cranelift code generation comes to Rust
go build 3.62s user 0.76s system 171% cpu 2.545 total
I was looking forward to parallel front-end[4], but I have not seen any improvement for these small changes.

A guide on Neovim's LSP client
For example, intelephense can show diagnostics in real time, there is no need to save the file to get new diagnostics. But rust-analyzer, the language server for rust, can only update diagnostics after saving the file.

The rust-analyzer vscode extension is not working at all.
The rust-analyzer readme suggests you go here for support request. But even there, you'll need to provide more details to get useful help.

LSP could have been better
For example: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-analyzer/blob/master/docs/...
> If you create an LSP, it will work best in VS Code.
Any editor can work just as well as (or even better than) VS Code.
-
Discussion Thread
So, apparently the reason why rust-analyzer, the LSP server for Rust does not have persistent caching is because it would make "optimizing initial passes less important".

Mastering Emacs: What's new in Emacs 29.1
I am not a Rust dev. It surely looks great.
However, from what I understand it seems to supply just a parser separate from the Rust compiler (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-analyzer/tree/master/crate...) trying to keep up with Rust‘s development. So, in principle, it could have been just another treesitter parser plugin, too.
So, again, the LSP framework does not directly provide any magical benefit over a static parsing framework. All the semantic analysis capabilities stem from a good parser.
