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.

Cranelift code generation comes to Rust
Windows is supported. See https://github.com/rust-lang/rustc_codegen_cranelift/issues/....

A Guide to Undefined Behavior in C and C++
> When this happens, it seems like it'll be possible to get the LLVM bits out of the bootstrap process and lead to a fully self-hosted Rust.
What do you mean by "when this happens"? GP's point is that this has already happened: the Cranelift backend is feature-complete from the perspective of the language [0], except for inline assembly and unwinding on panic. It was merged into the upstream compiler in 2020 [1], and a compiler built with only the Cranelift backend is perfectly capable of building another compiler. LLVM hasn't been a necessary component of the Rust compiler for quite some time.

What are some stuff that Rust isn't good at?
Note that the Cranelift codegen will eventually become standard for debug builds to speed them up.

Rust port of B3 from WebKit, LLVM-like backend
Maybe one day we'll have rustc b3 backend like what they did with Cranelift
-
Any alternate Rust compilers?
Additionally, there is gcc codegen for rustc (https://github.com/rust-lang/rustc_codegen_gcc), which is not a compiler per se, but an alternative code generator, with more architectures supported and other nice things. It's also coming along, but there's still a lot of work to do there too. There's also Cranelift codegen (https://github.com/bjorn3/rustc_codegen_cranelift), which is designed to make debug builds faster, but this is not as exciting/useful as the other 2.

Capsules, reactive state, and HSR: Perseus v0.4.0 goes stable!
For the instant reloading, that's in Sycamore, so you should speak to its devs, but as for the alternative compiler backend, it's not my project, but it uses Cranelift and works pretty well! See https://github.com/bjorn3/rustc_codegen_cranelift for details.
- Security Engineer looking for ways to see if any of my tasks could slowly be ported to Rust or should I just stick with Python.
- Rust is now officially supported on some Infineon microcontrollers! (more to come later this year)
-
Improving Rust compile times to enable adoption of memory safety
The more immediate goal of "distribute the cranelift backend as a rustup component" has been making good progress and seems like it might happen relatively soon https://github.com/bjorn3/rustc_codegen_cranelift/milestone/...

Mozilla sccache: cache with cloud storage
Worth noting that the first commit in sccache git repository was in 2014 (https://github.com/mozilla/sccache/commit/115016e0a83b290dc2...). So I suppose that what "happened" happened waay back.
- Welcome to Apache OpenDAL
-
Target file are very huge and running out of storage on mac.
If you have lots of shared dependencies, maybe try sccache?

S3 Express Is All You Need
I'm going to set up sccache [0] to use it tomorrow. We use MSVC, so EFS is off the cards.

Serde has started shipping precompiled binaries with no way to opt out
I think the primary benefit of pre-built procmacros will be for build servers which don't use a persistent cache (like sccache), since they have to compile all dependencies every time. But IMO improved support for persistent caches would be a better investment compared to adding support for pre-built procmacros.

Cache dependencies across crates
Checkout https://github.com/mozilla/sccache

Distcc: A fast, free distributed C/C++ compiler
https://github.com/mozilla/sccache is another option which addresses the use cases of both icecream and ccache (and also supports Rust, and cloud storage of artifacts, if those are useful for you)

How to fix Rust Coding LARGE files????
That being said a compilation cache, eg the de-facto standard for Rust: sccache (https://github.com/mozilla/sccache) will help to compile and store some of the build artifacts centralized - still for each crate version + build profile (RUSTFLAGS) combination.

On the verge of giving up learning Haskell because of the terrible tooling.
That's definitely not my experience. Never had any issue running Rust on Windows. You just download and run rustup-init.exe, then updating is simply a matter of rustup update. Documentation generation is built in (cargo doc) and just a case of annotating code with triple-/ markdown comments and then running that command. sccache works fine for me (just need to set RUSTC_WRAPPER=/path/to/sccache). And the error messages from rustc are by far the best of any compiler I've used. Not sure how they're unhelpful, they tend to explain step-by-step what the problem is and how to fix it.
