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.

We've discussed the name squatting situation in our team meetings over the past weeks and concluded that it might be time for a crates.io policy update
Yes. https://github.com/dtolnay/squatternaut/commit/493c217992dee88ff7cc0f8269be36bd3b427c9f

crates.io now has more than 100,000 crates!
At least 12,100 of those are just squatted crate names. See https://github.com/dtolnay/squatternaut. My estimate is 20,000+ with a slightly looser definition.

Target file are very huge and running out of storage on mac.
You can use cargo sweep or kondo to clean up unused files.

Cargo Clean All - A cargo plugin to clean all your projects at once with filters
I use https://github.com/holmgr/cargo-sweep which can keep files from the current compiler version, but delete files from earlier compilers that won't ever be used again.

Is this normal? Giant debug folder
I like https://github.com/holmgr/cargo-sweep to keep the size of /target from unbounded growth without fully losing the useful portion of the cache. It's the same outcome as Cargo clean after a reboot but I recently also started using a ramdisk with CARGO_TARGET_DIR. Much easier to do on Linux.

Blog Post: Fast Rust Builds
cargo-sweep can do this kind of garbage collection along a few axes - rustc version, file age, was or wasn't used during recent build. Works great on Linux. I've not gotten it working reliably for -s/-f on MacOS+APFS, but for the CI use case it should be a nice improvement.
