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.

auto update notifier & gui for non-tech users?
The most I've heard of is the Pop! OS system updater (https://github.com/pop-os/system-updater) does support updating nix packages (see https://github.com/pop-os/system-updater/blob/master/daemon/src/package_managers/nix.rs). It would probably need some modification to work on NixOS though. Other than that I don't think any graphical package managers are being maintained, although I've been meaning to dive in and make one once I finish the first release of my configuration editor

OpenBSD 7.5 Released
It would be great for Rust to have a Linux target that doesn't use libc, but from what I've read, not many people are interested in this.
Found this as well: https://github.com/sunfishcode/mustang

Rust criticism from a Rustacean
On Linux there has been some attempts to get exactly this solutions, most notibly https://github.com/sunfishcode/mustang but the topic did not seem to fetch a prominent position on the supported feature list.

Microsoft rewriting core Windows libraries in Rust
For Linux, Mustang already exists because Linux has a stable syscall API

The Rust Implementation Of GNU Coreutils Is Becoming Remarkably Robust
Why bother with a libc at all, when you can skip it entirely on Linux!
-
Why so few, if any, pure Rust apps?
Mustang is a project which is able to run some non-trivial programs written in Rust, such as ripgrep, without using any libc, on Linux.
-
Can rust be entirely written in rust and drop C usage in its code base ?
Mustang is one way to take care of the tiny amount of "C" that runs before main().
-
How do I use Zig as Rust's Standard C Library?
This is more a Rust question than a Zig question. In Rust, the choice of a specific libc (or to not use a libc) is part of the "target", for example many hardware platforms have gnu/musl/none targets. See also relibc or mustang for pure-rust alternatives. Each libc alternative require some work to integrate into Rust.

memmapix: A pure Rust library for cross-platform memory mapped IO, which replace libc with rustix.
There's a separate project for that, called Mustang. It's built on top of rustix and provides all those things. It's not super mature yet, but it is able to run ripgrep by itself: https://github.com/sunfishcode/mustang
