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.

MCU recommendation
the nRF line is very well supported by Rust, but you'd have to get a canbus breakout since the nrf line doesn't support canbus out of the box. An alternative is the teensy line of MCUs - the higher-end models have CAN built in and there's decent Rust support. https://github.com/mciantyre/teensy4-rs

How is it possible to program Teensy boards without <Arduino.h>?
The most complete teensy environment I could find that isn't Arduino is this: https://github.com/mciantyre/teensy4-rs which is Rust not C.

I rewrote my CV in Typst and I'll never look back
You may want to try https://github.com/tectonic-typesetting/tectonic, which downloads files from TeXLive on-demand.

bard 2.0
v2 has improved TeX engine lookup, improved PDF template look&feel, proper support for MS Windows (where it comes integrated with the Tectonic engine) and a few more new features.

[Media] Version 0.3 of Inlyne - An interactive markdown renderer written entirely in Rust
There's https://github.com/tectonic-typesetting/tectonic but I think the issue with that idea is that sure, you can re-implement TeX (it's sufficiently simple) in Rust and then run LaTeX packages on top of it, but then you're back to LaTeX and all its weirdness so you haven't really gained anything compared to LaTeX itself.

Arch for science
In terms of TeX, I would recommend taking a look at tectonic, a self-contained TeX distribution that auto-installs packages you need when you need them, and “just works” when you call the binary to compile… Because screw messing around with package managers, CTAN and XeTeX. I’ve been using it for around a year and it’s so much easier than any other TeX distribution.

Porting Python reportlab code to Rust
For example, you can have your main application in something like Deno/Node/python that acts as a server, and then delegate the actual pdf generation to tectonic (https://github.com/tectonic-typesetting/tectonic) or Typst https://typst.app/blog/2023/beta-oss-launch/

Brian Kernighan adds Unicode support to Awk (May, 2022)
It's sad that Tectonic conversion to Rust[1] was never finished. For now it's just a wrapper around C and C++ code. By far, it was the most promising thing in this distribution.

LaTex alternative/replacement written in Rust?
The only thing I've seen is https://github.com/tectonic-typesetting/tectonic but that's an actual re-implementation of TeX Rust.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing teensy4-rs and tectonic you can also consider the following projects:
ccextractor - CCExtractor - Official version maintained by the core team
miktex - the MiKTeX source code
FreeRTOS-rust - Rust crate for FreeRTOS
texlab - An implementation of the Language Server Protocol for LaTeX
Themis - Easy to use cryptographic framework for data protection: secure messaging with forward secrecy and secure data storage. Has unified APIs across 14 platforms.
tex-rs - A port of TeX82 to Rust. (WIP)
libremarkable - The only public framework for developing applications with native refresh support for Remarkable Tablet
Oberon - Oberon parser, code model & browser, compiler and IDE with debugger
