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.

AI Toolkit: Give a brain to your game's NPCs, a header-only C++ library
For performance intensive tasks, you could rely on Rust NIFs, there is this great project: https://github.com/rusterlium/rustler
My last project with Elixir was using Elixir merely as an orchestrator of static binaries (developed in golang) which were talking in JSON via stdin/stdout.

Building Apps with Tauri and Elixir
From the moment we discovered Tauri, we really felt like this was the perfect fit. The API is really solid, the configuration files are minimal and easy to understand, and the usage of Rust makes it way easier to add new functionalities and think about interesting ways of interoperating with Elixir via the Rustler library.

Async Rust Is A Bad Language
Elixir/Rust is the new Python/C++, and Rustler makes the communicating between the 2 languages super easy: https://github.com/rusterlium/rustler

Why elixir over Golang
Rustler is so awesome for this. Write Elixir NIFs in Rust? Yes, please!
- Is RUST a good choice for building web browsers?

Why do you enjoy systems programming languages?
But really, I would suggest thinking about what you want to build before "how" or "with which tool" - one of the signs of a person becoming a good engineer is having an array of tools at their disposal and being able to choose a correct tool for the correct task. Rust also excels in integrating with other languages - with JS via WebAssembly (a bit of self-promotion, for example), with Elixir via Rustler, with Python via PyO3 and PyOxidizer, etc. So you absolutely can start writing a frontend app with JS, or a distributed system with Elixir, or a data processing/ML app with Python and use Rust to speed up critical parts of those. Or, in reverse, you can start with Rust & add new capabilities to whatever you're building, that being a frontend, a resilient chat interface, or an ML model.

PasswordRs 0.1.0 released (Rust NIF for password hashing)
I created a elixir (wrapper) library to generate password hashes. Other Elixir libraries use a C NIF to generate password hashes. This libary uses a Rust NIF (using Rustler) and the Rust libraries the generate the different hashes. Additionally this library uses RustlerPrecompiled so you don't need to have a Rust compiler installed to use this library. It supports argon2, scrypt, brypt and pbkdf2.

Elixir and Rust is a good mix
> I guess, why not use Rust entirely instead of as a FFI into Elixir or other backend language?
Because Rust brings none of the benefits of the BEAM ecosystem to the table.
I was an early Elixir adopter, not working currently as an Elixir developer, but I have deployed one of the largest Elixir applications for a private company in my country.
I know it has limits, but the language itself is only a small part of the whole.
Take ML, Jose Valim and Sean Moriarity have studied the problem, made a plan to tackle it and started solving it piece by piece [1] in a tightly integrated manner, it feels natural, as if Elixir always had those capabilities in a way that no other language does and to put the icing on the cake the community released Livebook [2] to interactively explore code and use the new tools in the simplest way possible, something that Python notebooks only dream of being capable of, after a decade of progress
That's not to say that Elixir is superior as a language, but that the ecosystem is flourishing and the community is able to extract the 100% of the benefits from the tools and create new marvellously crafted ones, that push the limits forward every time, in such a simple manner, that it looks like magic.
And going back to Rust, you can write Rust if you need speed or for whatever reason you feel it's the right tool for the job, it's totally integrated [3][4], again in a way that many other languages can only dream of, and it's in fact the reason I've learned Rust in the first place.
The opposite is not true, if you write Rust, you write Rust, and that's it. You can't take advantage of the many features the BEAM offers, OTP, hot code reloading, full inspection of running systems, distribution, scalability, fault tolerance, soft real time etc. etc. etc.
But of course if you don't see any advantage in them, it means you probably don't need them (one other option is that you still don't know you want them :] ). In that case Rust is as good as any other language, but for a backend, even though I gently despise it, Java (or Kotlin) might be a better option.

It's legos all the way down
unfortunately as of the time of this writing, rustler does not support generic type intefaces so I guess this is impossible?

When Rust Hurts
One thing that drew me to Rust was actually Elixir/Erlang calling out to it for certain specialized needs. Within Elixir/Erlang you get best of breed concurrency but exiting the BEAM to run other code is unsafe. Calling out to Rust, however, comes with great safety guarantees.
Managing concurrency outside of Rust and then calling Rust for the more focused and specialized work is a good combination IMO.

Show HN: Open-source, browser-local data exploration using DuckDB-WASM and PRQL
That's great feedback, thanks!
This tool definitely comes from a place of personal need - beyond just handling large files, I've also never really gelled well with the Excel/Google Sheet model of changing data in place as if you were editing text. I'm a Data Scientist and always preferred the chained data transforms you see in things like dplyr (https://dplyr.tidyverse.org/) or Polars (https://pola.rs/) and I feel this tool maps very closely to the chained model.
Also, thank you for the feature requests! Those would all be very useful - we'll put them on the roadmap.

IS it possible for a R package to set an R option that only affects that package?
There's an example of how to use zzz.R with a .onload() function to set options in the dplyr code base: https://github.com/tidyverse/dplyr/blob/bbcfe99e29fe737d456b0d7adc33d3c445a32d9d/R/zzz.r

PSA: You don't need fancy stuff to do good work.
Before diving into advanced machine learning algorithms or statistical models, we need to start with the basics: collecting and organizing data. Fortunately, both Python and R offer a wealth of libraries that make it easy to collect data from a variety of sources, including web scraping, APIs, and reading from files. Key libraries in Python include requests, BeautifulSoup, and pandas, while R has httr, rvest, and dplyr.

Creating data frame
It looks like your syntax is wrong. I think you’re trying to calculate a new variables in your data frame, or alter an existing column in a data frame. Have a look at the select() function in this reference for the proper syntax to use. https://dplyr.tidyverse.org/ Does that help?

I'm designing a shirt for a friend, it has 4 embroidered images of things they like/do. One thing is coding, they use R... I'm wondering two things. 1) What's a good image or piece of code or something that I should use? and 2) should I even add it to the design the shirt?
A lot of populat libraries have their own logos. Maybe one of them would be good. Check out dplyr for example: https://dplyr.tidyverse.org/

Anyone use Python for statistics, particularly DOE or QA/QC? What are your thoughts?

Rstudio tidyverse help!
You can read up on the dplyr-verbs here, which I strongly suggest for your exam! In the code examples, you can simply click on any function you don't understand and it will take you directly to the documentation. Good Luck!
