Our great sponsors
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.

Is this code sound for concurrent use?
I was trying to do something similar a little while back and ended up writing the Synclist type in Syncbuf. This has the tradeoff that the elements are spread across non-contiguous chunks, so it can't be sliced. But it has the advantage of being able to contain any type, memory usage is monotonic, and "reallocation" is much cheaper since nothing is copied.

Noteworthy concurrent data structures?
Since you asked, my little project in this area has been Syncbuf: https://github.com/bplevin36/syncbuf. It has 2 lock-free concurrent buffer types that are low-overhead by being append-only.

What's everyone working on this week (7/2021)?
I was writing a toy virtual machine when I realized that in order to make it multi-threaded, it would be very helpful to maintain a global symbol table that allowed adding new symbols without invalidating references to old ones. No such thing appeared to exist yet, so I wrote it: https://github.com/bplevin36/syncbuf

So You Want to Ship a Command-Line Tool for macOS
This is really specific, but for this point in the article:
> There’s a long guide on Embedding a Command-Line Tool in a Sandboxed App, so I followed that, and then slowly, painfully, factored Xcode out of it, so that I wouldn’t have to figure out how to get a 10GB Xcode install onto the CI machine (remember, you need to be signed in to an Apple ID to download Xcode, and there’s no way to do it from the command-line).
You could actually solve this with Rust and no Xcode whatsoever. cacao [1] and cargo-bundle [2] will produce an app bundle you could sign/notarize/distribute without needing to ever open Xcode.

A new open-sourcing project launches!!! A declarative, compose-based and cross-platform GUI
I've had basic animation support in cacao for about a year now, but I don't think anybody even realizes it.

Library Concept for Interoperating with Objective-C - Seeking Feedback
But I will reiterate what I say on many posts like these, which is that it would be even cooler if we could stop having a million projects reinvent this wheel - and I say this as someone who wrote a large Rust library that is backed by ObjC. madsmtm has an ongoing effort to put together a best in class ObjC Rust wrapper, which would be great to see even more support for.

What bindings do I need for making a modern Windows 11 GUI?
MacOS; I have to call the AppKit API. I can use a library like this which offers Rust bindings for AppKit - otherwise I can write my own maybe?
