The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
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.

Cosmic: The Road to Alpha
Bit of a side note, but COSMIC depends on the rustybuzz text shaper which is deprecated: https://github.com/RazrFalcon/rustybuzz/issues/74. There was some work underway to bring it up to sync with the latest harfbuzz and then handing over ownership to the harfbuzz team, but this seems to have fizzled out.

Is coding in Rust as bad as in C++? A practical comparison
I understand that this may sound harsh, but I also ported two (far bigger) codebases from C++ to Rust: rustybuzz and tiny-skia. Both of which are production -ready and not just prototypes. And mine not only do not use pointers, but also barely use unsafe in general.

Looking for good sources on incremental rewrites to Rust of portions of a C++ codebase. Is this a feasible approach?
You could also take a look at the history of this repository: https://github.com/RazrFalcon/rustybuzz

Is There An Algorithm To How Computer Cursors Highlight Text?
harfbuzz is a popular library for text rendering. You may also want to check out rustybuzz, a small subset of harfbuzz ported to Rust with pretty great documentation.

Question: Expected webrender impact, or influence, on emacs redisplay
Use allsorts or rustbuzz for text shaping

Speedy2D: Easy-to-use library for graphics, text, and input events
Yeah Allsorts looks interesting, and rustybuzz is another option. I haven’t tried either yet, though.

A simple 2d graphic library
You can even check https://github.com/linebender/piet and https://github.com/RazrFalcon/tiny-skia. They are pure rust libraries. Skia as a whole is a big binary to add.
-
Typst, a modern alternative to LaTeX, is now open source
Looking through the source code. It looks like it's using tiny-skia for rendering.
-
Recommended UI framework to draw many 2D lines?
Tiny Skia (https://github.com/RazrFalcon/tiny-skia) which is a slower Rust port of Skia and does all software rendering.

Announcing piet-glow, a GL-based implementation of Piet for 2D rendering
https://github.com/RazrFalcon/tiny-skia is pretty great.

Is there a way to avoid call overhead?
Here is a real world implementation in tiny-skia: https://github.com/RazrFalcon/tiny-skia/blob/master/src/pipeline/highp.rs

I want to draw 2d shapes directly to a u8 buffer without needing a window and without having to write drawing code from scratch.
How about tiny-skia?
-
Good example of high performance Rust project without unsafe code?
How about tiny-skia? Almost the same performance as C, no unsafe, a lot of explicit SIMD.

Announcing lyon 1.0.0
Now I would love to see a universal Bezier path crate, storage + common utilities like length, point at offset, some low-level stuff, etc. So it could be used as a foundation for other crates. Currently, there is a lot of friction because each crate has its own implementation.

I wrote a GUI library.
Nice to see tiny-skia in use.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing rustybuzz and tiny-skia you can also consider the following projects:
fontdue - The fastest font renderer in the world, written in pure rust.
PixiJS - The HTML5 Creation Engine: Create beautiful digital content with the fastest, most flexible 2D WebGL renderer.
Speedy2D - Rust library for hardware accelerated drawing of 2D shapes, images, and text, with an easy to use API.
swash - Font introspection, complex text shaping and glyph rendering.
Nim - Nim is a statically typed compiled systems programming language. It combines successful concepts from mature languages like Python, Ada and Modula. Its design focuses on efficiency, expressiveness, and elegance (in that order of priority).
allsorts - Font parser, shaping engine, and subsetter implemented in Rust
canvas - Cairo in Go: vector to raster, SVG, PDF, EPS, WASM, OpenGL, Gio, etc.
ab-glyph - Rust API for loading, scaling, positioning and rasterizing OpenType font glyphs
pixie - Full-featured 2d graphics library for Nim.
raqote - Rust 2D graphics library
