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.

Swift for Android: How to use Swift-Crypto with Android Studio
dependencies: [ .package(url: "https://github.com/scade-platform/swift-java.git", branch: "main"), .package(url: "https://github.com/apple/swift-crypto.git", .branch("main")) ]
- Can swift be used for web, data science, or cybersecurity?

What do you think about server-side Swift?
Are you aware of SwiftCrypto (granted it is missing some capabilities)?

Apple rejects Bitcoin EC curve: Please help writing - on Github - CONSTRUCTIVE and POLITE contra-arguments and maybe we can convince them to change their mind (requires Github account)
swift-crypto is open source, not closed source. I dont work at Apple, but I’m a contributor: https://github.com/apple/swift-crypto/graphs/contributors
- Help getting Eth/BTC curve secp256k1 added to Apples swift-crypto for safer wallets, by upvoting proposal on Github. Also on Github write any missing adoption breakthroughs I’ve missed.

Swift Playgrounds 4
Apple is investing a lot in it, but Swift is much younger than Rust (especially as an open source project). There is a working group that meets every few weeks to shepherd the various projects. Most of the recent activity has been (AFAICT) about orchestration. Well, that and transitioning projects to use async/await and structured concurrency. Here's some recent activity in the Swift on server space:
- the proposal for distributed actors is currently in-review (https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/main/proposals...)
- a metrics API for backends like Graphite, Prometheus, etc. (https://github.com/apple/swift-metrics)
- HTTP/2 support for SwiftNIO (https://github.com/apple/swift-nio-http2)
- a new service discovery API (https://github.com/apple/swift-service-discovery)
- a new distributed tracing API (https://github.com/apple/swift-distributed-tracing)
- a Linux implementation of Apple's CryptoKit API on top of BoringSSL (https://github.com/apple/swift-crypto)
I'm not pretending that it's taking the server-side world by storm, but there is a fair amount of ongoing activity Personally, I'm using it for a couple personal projects and it's been solid, but I'm already a macOS developer, so it wasn't a big stretch for me to reach for it.

[HELP WANTED] Big number computation in Swift for RSA implementation
This doesn’t exactly answer your question, but you could always use swift-crypto for RSA.

Byte-Sized Swift: Building Tiny Games for the Playdate
[A Vision for Embedded Swift](https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/main/visions/e...) has the details on this new build mode and is quite interesting.
> Effectively, there will be two bottom layers of Swift, and the lower one, “non-allocating” Embedded Swift, will necessarily be a more restricted compilation mode (e.g. classes will be disallowed as they fundamentally require heap allocations) and likely to be used only in very specialized use cases. “Allocating” Embedded Swift should allow classes and other language facilities that rely on the heap (e.g. indirect enums).
Also, this seems to maybe hint at the Swift runtime eventually being reimplemented in non-allocating Embedded Swift rather than the C++ (?) that it uses now:
> The Swift runtime APIs will be provided as an implementation that’s optimized for small codesize and will be available as a static library in the toolchain for common CPU architectures. Interestingly, it’s possible to write that implementation in “non-allocating” Baremetal Swift.

Borrow Checking Without Lifetimes
I may be out of my depth here as I've only casually used Rust, but this seems similar to Swift's proposed lifetime dependencies[1]. They're not in the type system formally so maybe they're closer to poloneius work

Functional Ownership Through Fractional Uniqueness
Swift recently adopted a region-based approach for safe concurrency that builds on Milano et al’s ideas: https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/main/proposals...

Crafting Self-Evident Code with D
No, it's not. Refcounting CAN be a garbage collection algorithm, but in Swift it's deterministic and done at compile time. Not to mention recently added support for non-copyable types that enforces unique ownership: https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/main/proposals...

Can someone explain how Task really works in terms of threads (I couldnt ask all the questions with the swift team today)?
If the docs do not suffice, read the concurrency proposals of Swift Evolution. The authors describe the semantics in a very detailed way there.
