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.

Any active project aiming to replicate python's batteries-included in rust?
There's none that I know of, aside from stdx which was last updated 4 years ago.

Is there any part of the Standard Library that really impresses you?
brson had a repository called https://github.com/brson/stdx and it's a pity it isn't maintained anymore: some of them are in disuse now (for example, instead of lazy_static prefer stdlib's Lazy, or better yet, you don't need them if you just want to initialize a mutex or something; also error-chain) and the list could use some maintenance

Nearly 100,000 NPM Users' Credentials Stolen in GitHub OAuth Breach
You suggested creating a super-library of vetted crates. It has been tried before, but it didn’t get any adoption. stdx - The missing batteries of Rust was never used much. Looking at it now, it recommends crates that have been superseded by others.

Security advisory for the regex crate (CVE-2022-24713) | Rust Blog
As an example of the above, if you're not aware of it already, you might find brson/stdx interesting.

Hey, i begin my journey into Rust !
Big libraries like Boost or the Python standard library tend to develop as a workaround for weak package management so, with Cargo, efforts to produce Boost-like compilations (Eg. stdx) withered on the vine for lack of sufficient interest.

First Impressions of Rust
It's been suggested and people even tried doing that of their own volition with projects like stdx, but they withered away for lack of interest.

Hey Rustaceans! Got an easy question? Ask here (50/2021)!
I second u/globulemix' attitude, searching on crates.io and then looking at Downloads and also git activity (might be misleading, as some projects are simply very stable). For a lot of tasks, you might wish to take a look at stdx

Batteries included stdlib?
Seems abandoned, but there was https://github.com/brson/stdx

Rust Vs. Go Random Observations
I've been here since before Rust 1.0 and I've seen various projects like stdx start, but fail to achieve critical mass... probably because that kind of approach tends to invite the worst kind of bikeshedding.

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?
