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.

Announcing diff.rs!
If needed, here is an example of per-word diffing and highlighting of trailing newline differences.

Trycmd just ignores my tests
I see. I would try writing the same name as in your Cargo.toml. For example, if yours was toml [package] name = "caesor_cipher" I would try bin.name = "caesor_cipher" It seems that trycmd might ignore a test if the bin.name field is incorrect: https://github.com/assert-rs/trycmd/issues/105

Rust: A Critical Retrospective
I find rustdoc lacking for clap. rustdoc does a good job with API reference documentation and is improving in its handling of examples but derive reference and tutorial documentation are a weak point.
For examples, its improving with the example scraping work (e.g. https://docs.rs/clap/latest/clap/struct.ArgMatches.html#meth...) but testing of example is still lacking. I've written trycmd to help (https://github.com/assert-rs/trycmd).
For derive reference and tutorial documentation, your choices are
- A very long, hard to navigate top-level documentation, see https://docs.rs/structopt/latest/structopt/
- External documentation, see https://serde.rs/
- Dummy modules to store your documentation (I've seen this used but can't remember one off the top of my head)
For clap, my documentation examples are best served as programs and we've had a problem with these being broken. The Rust CLI book has a decent strategy for this by pulling in code from external files (https://rust-cli.github.io/book/index.html). I was tempted to do that for clap where example code and output (all verified via trycmd) are pulled into an mdbook site but I've stopped short and just have a README that links out to everything (https://github.com/clap-rs/clap/blob/master/examples/tutoria...). Its not great.

Great thanks to the rust community for having a book (sort of like the rust book) for some crates as well. Makes everything infinitely approachable
Another problem we found in clap was it was easy for our examples to build but harder to make sure they worked. This is why I wrote trycmd (example "tests").

ANN: `trycmd` v0.7.0 released!
Would love feedback on on some of the known questions or whatever else is on your mind!

trycmd: Snapshot testing for a herd of CLI tests
The design is inspired by trybuild with thought given to how mdBook books could pull in content so you can verify a code sample, the command for running it, and the output. In considering how to keep clap's website up-to-date, I had this idea and threw it together to see how well it works. Overall, seems good with room for improvement. I'll have to give this a try on a real world program soon.

FreeBSD evaluating Rust's adoption into base system
There is a Rust front-end for GCC that is under active development [1]. If the chip vendors are not willing to develop and upstream a LLVM back-end then they can feel free to start contributing to it.

Why do lifetimes need to be leaky?
That's why gccrs doesn't even consider lifetime checking a part of the language (they plan to use Polonius, too).

How hard would it be to port the Rust toolchain to a new non-POSIX OS written in Rust and get it to host its own development? What would that process entail?
There's ongoing work on a Rust front-end for GCC (https://github.com/Rust-GCC/gccrs). Bit barebones right now -- ie, even core doesn't compile -- but there's funding, demand, and regular progress, so it'll only get better from there. Once gccrs can compile core, it should be ready to compile most of Rust, and thus if you've taught the calling conventions for C to GCC, you're golden.
-
How hard is it to write a front end for a more complex language like Rust or Kotlin?
I recommend checking out the GCC Rust frontend project.

Rust contributions for Linux 6.4 are finally merged upstream!
That is what theyre refering to, yes. The GitHub is named https://github.com/Rust-GCC/gccrs

GCC 13 and the State of Gccrs
- But this misses so much extra context information
3. Macro invocations there are really subtle rules on how you treat macro invocations such as this which is not documented at all https://github.com/Rust-GCC/gccrs/blob/master/gcc/rust/expan...
Some day I personally want to write a blog post about how complicated and under spec'd Rust is, then write one about the stuff i do like it such as iterators being part of libcore so i don't need reactive extensions.

Any alternate Rust compilers?
(Speaking of which, Rust-GCC (or gcc-rs or gccrs or whichever other of their names they decide is the primary one) isn't even going to be a complete C++ implementation. Their plan is to implement enough to compile Polonius (the NLL 2.0 borrow checker being developed in Rust for rustc) and then share that since borrow-checking isn't necessary for codegen... only to identify and reject invalid programs... making the C++ portion of it not that different in scope from mrustc.)

Which programming languages, if all legacy code written in them was ported to a more modern language, would become extinct?
That bridge will be crossed with gccrs (compiling Rust with gcc directly, coming next month with GCC 13) and rust_codegen_gcc (rustc frontend, GCC backend, works now but just doesn’t yet have an “easy” setup)
What are some alternatives?
clap-rs - A full featured, fast Command Line Argument Parser for Rust
gcc-rust - a (WIP) Rust frontend for gcc / a gcc backend for rustc
typos - Source code spell checker
rustc_codegen_gcc - libgccjit AOT codegen for rustc
