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.

OpenBSD 7.5 Released
It would be great for Rust to have a Linux target that doesn't use libc, but from what I've read, not many people are interested in this.
Found this as well: https://github.com/sunfishcode/mustang

Rust criticism from a Rustacean
Without actually having looked into this, how does https://github.com/bytecodealliance/rustix fit into points 1 & 2?

Cargo build in debug taking longer than in release?

Integrating rustix on NuttX
Hi Rust experts, we are willing to integrate rustix on NuttX RTOS, the initial effort was done by rustix author: https://github.com/bytecodealliance/rustix/tree/nuttx but it hit the wall since we don't know the right way to integrate cargo with the old-school NuttX's Makefiles. Any help or suggestion is welcome. More about NuttX here: https://nuttx.apache.org and here: https://nuttx.apache.org/docs/latest/

Pgwm 0.3 a pure rust `no_std` no libc window manager.
Have you considered using rustix? It provides many of the facilities of std without using libc.

-
Will Rust drop dependency on libc and make direct system calls? when ? (Please don't mention no_std case)
rustix can make syscalls directly to Linux. There's a rustc fork that can use it to build std.
-
Can rust be entirely written in rust and drop C usage in its code base ?
The rustix project claims to use raw syscalls (and vDSO calls) on linux and provides more memory / type safety compared to the libc API.

memmapix: A pure Rust library for cross-platform memory mapped IO, which replace libc with rustix.
Hi, the reason is explained by the description of https://github.com/bytecodealliance/rustix.

What crates would you add to a "batteries-included" library for Rust?
Please consider rustix as an alternative to nix.

Embedded Systems Weekly #116
Open Source Autopilot for Drone Developers PX4 is an advanced and open source autopilot flight stack for drones. PX4 can flight completely autonomously for pre-programmed missions, or, obviously, it can help a pilot who remote-controls the drone. It runs on NuttX RTOS.

Anyone know of exceptional open source RTOS C projects?
You should definitely have a look at NuttX.

Query: Alternatives to Zephyr?
Maybe Nuttx can be an alternative. Have a look: https://nuttx.apache.org/

Open source projects

How to contribute to open source or Linux kernel?
Microcontrollers are a good start. Boards are cheap and sensors are plentiful. You could get a yet unsupported board and port RIOT, Zephyr or NuttX.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing rustix and nuttx you can also consider the following projects:
liblinux - Linux system calls.
zephyr - Primary Git Repository for the Zephyr Project. Zephyr is a new generation, scalable, optimized, secure RTOS for multiple hardware architectures.
relibc - Mirror of https://gitlab.redox-os.org/redox-os/relibc
FreeRTOS-Kernel - FreeRTOS kernel files only, submoduled into https://github.com/FreeRTOS/FreeRTOS and various other repos.
clap-rs - A full featured, fast Command Line Argument Parser for Rust
stm32-bootloader - Customizable Bootloader for STM32 microcontrollers. This example demonstrates how to perform in-application-programming of a firmware located on an external SD card with FAT32 file system.
compiler-builtins - Porting `compiler-rt` intrinsics to Rust
mbed-os - Arm Mbed OS is a platform operating system designed for the internet of things
libc - Raw bindings to platform APIs for Rust
