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.

Bridging Fuzzing and Property Testing
Inline documentation is lacking, but the README and the examples show it off reasonably well.

Writing a HashMap in Rust without unsafe
Also! You might want to verify the correctness of your implementation against some reference implementation - e.g. indexmap, or just an inefficient but obviously correct HashMap + Vec combination. https://github.com/jakubadamw/rutenspitz makes this very easy, and it did discover a few logic bugs in tinyvec, so I recommend giving it a go!

Announcing flashmap: a blazing fast, concurrent hash map
https://github.com/jakubadamw/rutenspitz allows comparing your implementation against a slower, reference implementation using a fuzzer. Might be helpful for correctness, but is not really useful for testing concurrency, as far as I can tell.

Unsafe Rust: How and when (not) to use it - LogRocket Blog
There's also https://github.com/jakubadamw/rutenspitz that is already usable, but I'm not aware of it being widely deployed.

fast-float - a super-fast float parser in Rust
By the way, https://github.com/rust-fuzz/auto-fuzz-test and/or https://github.com/jakubadamw/rutenspitz will help mitigate that, if anyone is willing to apply them.

We have getrandom at home
Making compatibility promises for distributions means they cannot take advantage of potential advancements in the field.

Blog Post: On Random Numbers
Defining an error type that is meaningful, portable, and compatible with no-std isn't straightforward. If the std lib's getrandom requires std, then just like that, rand and many other crates won't use it anyway. Using io::Result seems to me to face this challenge.

Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here (52/2022)!
Some wasm targets can’t generate random numbers at all but in the case of the book because you are using wasm in a browser you can use JS to generate random numbers. I believe there’s a way to get the rand crate to use JS as the backend for generating rand but its a bit more convoluted than the easy one-liner that the book suggests.

[Media] Nebulabrot rendered with Rust — Explanations in the comments
This uses rand and xcomplex to handle the mathematics, png to write image files, and dialoguer and indicatif for some pretty prompts and progress bars.

Do you ever use unsafe { .. } when not implementing custom data structures or interacting with external C code?
You can often achieve this without any unsafe by putting an assert!() on the length before the hot loop. For example, I got rid of some unsafe in rand that way.

Original source of `(seed * 9301 and 49297) % 233280` random algorithm?
This is a widely used method to map random integers to floating point numbers, but it has the disadvantage of wasting 1 bit of float mantissa precision.
On modern CPUs, its computational advantage over full-precision mapping methods, such as multiplication by a float, is not always clear [1].

Any plans for built-in support of Vec2/Vec3/Vec4 in Rust?
In fact, there are a lot of crates in Rust where in other programming languages, it would be included in the standard library. Examples are regex, random number generators, additional iterator methods, macros for other collections, num traits, loggers, HTTP libraries, error handling, async runtimes, serialization and deserialization, date and time, and many more.
What are some alternatives?
cargo-fuzz - Command line helpers for fuzzing
fastrand - A simple and fast random number generator
fast-float-rust - Super-fast float parser in Rust (now part of Rust core)
roxmltree - Represent an XML document as a read-only tree.
winapi-rs - Rust bindings to Windows API
json - Strongly typed JSON library for Rust
yew - Rust / Wasm framework for creating reliable and efficient web applications
rust - Rust for the xtensa architecture. Built in targets for the ESP32 and ESP8266
log - Logging implementation for Rust
regex - An implementation of regular expressions for Rust. This implementation uses finite automata and guarantees linear time matching on all inputs.
