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.

Good example of high performance Rust project without unsafe code?
Good point, I don't know the answer to this. What I ended up doing was creating my own "safe" wrappers for the AVX2 instructions (which is basically what you want to use for x86). There are other crates that provides safe interfaces, but they didn't really fit my needs.

Do you ever use unsafe { .. } when not implementing custom data structures or interacting with external C code?
The most "virtuous"/desirable statement in this topic is probably the "100% safe code now - while being faster than the C version!" on the rust-secure-code/safety-dance entry for miniz_oxide.

Good example of high performance Rust project without unsafe code?
According to the rust-secure-code/safety-dance trophy case, their audit left miniz_oxide 100% safe and faster than the C version.

Rust Vs. Go Random Observations
Efforts that don't try to pick winners, but just to help packages that already exist, like Rust Safety Dance and developing tools like Miri. (And that dependency-improving sprint, the name of which eludes me, but which was mentioned in TWIR a while ago.)

Fast and robust e-mail parsing library for Rust
I'm similarly iffy on using a parser for something as web-exposed as e-mail which uses unsafe for a performance boost without a thumbs-up from someone like /u/Shnatsel and the Safety Dance.

Weird architectures weren't supported to begin with
Since this all happened, the safety-dance project has come into existence, which aims to channel the mob into doing useful things, not just piling onto someone who's got different views on what they want from Rust.

Is there anyone looking for GSOC student for a Rust project ? (or just a contributor for a project ?)
https://github.com/rust-secure-code/safety-dance is always looking for contributors.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing simple-simd and safety-dance you can also consider the following projects:
gearley - An Earley parser engine in Rust.
stdx - The missing batteries of Rust
cv - Rust CV mono-repo. Contains pure-Rust dependencies which attempt to encapsulate the capability of OpenCV, OpenMVG, and vSLAM frameworks in a cohesive set of APIs.
ttf-parser - A high-level, safe, zero-allocation TrueType font parser.
json-benchmark - nativejson-benchmark in Rust
actix-net - A collection of lower-level libraries for composable network services.
yaep - Yet Another Earley Parser
FFmpeg - Mirror of https://git.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git
sandbox - A sand simulation game
Symphonia - Pure Rust multimedia format demuxing, tag reading, and audio decoding library
