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.

The Usability of Advanced Type Systems: Rust as a Case Study
> fully dynamic
Well, no, it's SBCL. Common Lisp has support for types, but most compilers only use them for optimization, SBCL goes one step further and emits warnings when you mismatch types. And looking at the code, I can see lots of type declarations.
It's also interesting to note that the code does not seem to be using SBCL's new SIMD library*, so it could be sped up even more.
* <https://github.com/marcoheisig/sb-simd>, see the texinfo file for documentation.

Implementation comparison
I suppose that using arrays + using SIMD instructions could be even faster. Someone is already doing that: https://github.com/marcoheisig/sb-simd/blob/master/examples/simd-dot.lisp .
-
Which programming language or compiler is faster
Common Lisp (sbcl) performance via native implementation of simd [0] is very impressive ! It is litteraly acheieving C/Cpp speeds (within few ms). Great work by Marco Heisig

sb-simd vectorization speed
Here is another demonstration of how effective SIMD vectorization can be using sb-simd.
-
Quite amazing SBCL benchmark speed with sb-simd vectorization
You can see on Programming Language and Compiler Benchmark site the amazing speed of SBCL when sb-simd is used for vectorization.
-
How to speed up array writes?
For SBCL-specific, Marco and Bela have put in a ton of work at sb-simd - may be the OP finds the relevant simd interface there!

Programming Language and compiler Benchmarks
And sb-simd is getting very-very impressive to say the least thanks to Marco Heisig.

Best Lisp(s) for Functional & (seperately) Systems programming?
You can use sb-simd for manual vectorisation with SBCL. Manual vectorisation is definitely more hassle than automatic vectorisation, but often worth it.
-
Common Lisp (SBCL) slower than Python 3.9?
Fully agreed. One more library that could open up areas is also coming soon. Though documentation is still to be written. Please check sb-simd I wish I could have supported Marco even more.

Empowering Web Privacy with Rust: Building a Decentralized Identity Management System
Zero to Production in Rust - Book by Luca Palmieri: An in-depth book that guides readers through building a fully functional backend application in Rust, from zero to production.

Rust books to read
And the book "Zero To Production In Rust - An introduction to backend development", I didn’t read it yet but seems pretty good
-
How to read a YAML configuration file in my Rust service?
It’s a lot simpler if you add serde to the mix (derive Deserialize for your settings types). Have a look at the example from the Zero to Production book: https://github.com/LukeMathWalker/zero-to-production/blob/main/src/configuration.rs

Ask HN: What to use for a Rest API written in Rust?
You probably want to check out the Zero to Production book which is about using Rust for back-end development.

I’ve fallen in love with rust so now what?
If your'e more into a tutorial with a book https://www.zero2prod.com/ is really good. You gonna build a newsletter service. With all the good stuff in backend development.

Hyper – A fast and correct HTTP implementation for Rust
If you want to build a backend in Rust, Axum (which uses hyper underneath) is pretty recommended these days, as it's all in the tokio ecosystem. Actix Web is good too, but it has its own ecosystem of libraries. I read the book Zero To Production in Rust [0] which was a great overview on not just Rust but scalable backend architectures as a whole.
Interestingly, Cloudflare wanted to use hyper but found that it was too correct, so they had to build their own [1].

Conversion?
In addition to the book, which has already been recommended. If you’re specifically into backend you should try Zero to Production. Luca really knows what he’s talking about, and it’s an excellent overview of backend rust and the development process in general.
-
Do you know any programming tutorials where somebody explains how to write an app from the architecture point of view?
I highly recommend the book Zero to Production in Rust which also has an associated GitHub. I like the style of the writing and the explanations used within the book. Even though it uses Rust, the concepts seem to work in any language - I have applied the concepts to both Go and Python in the past.
-
Opensource to learn from?
I would recommend you a book - "Zero to Production in Rust" https://www.zero2prod.com/

Simple projects to practice Rust?
if you want to learn more about web backend development there is nothing better then https://www.zero2prod.com/
