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.

Nim v2.0 Released
We have written pixie: https://github.com/treeform/pixie . Pixie is a 2D graphics library similar to Cairo and Skia written entirely in Nim. Which I think is a big accomplishment. It even has python bindings: https://pypi.org/project/pixie-python/
- How can I add graphics to my nim program?
-
Simple Gamepad Support
I made it because I really like pixie/boxy/windy combo, but there is no gamepad support built-in.
-
Why I enjoy using the Nim programming language at Reddit.
With Nim, you can continuously optimize and improve the hot spots in your code. For example, in the Pixie graphics library, path filling started with floating point code, switched to floating point SIMD, then to 16-bit integer SIMD. Finally, this SIMD was written for both x86 and ARM.

Is Fidget usable for implementation of 3D rendering?
The author Fidget actually has a number of other great libraries that are part of the rendering stack. Notably, Pixie for text and shape rendering in 2D, Boxy for rendering textures to the GPU via opengl, and then Windy for an OS window context and user events, and a number of other libraries related to 3D rendering.

Ask HN: What's the best source code you've read?
Perhaps not the "best" source code I've ever read, but libVF.io had some beautiful code for what's generally gnarly system-glue code. The iommu setup code is a good example and inspires me to think that system-glue code doesn't need to be gross or impenetrable: https://github.com/Arc-Compute/LibVF.IO/blob/master/src/libv...
Another one I've appreciated reading (and learned more about 2d graphics from) is Pixie, a 2d graphics library written in Nim. Here's the implementation of a fair subset of SVG paths: https://github.com/treeform/pixie/blob/master/src/pixie/path...
And one last one for basic algorithms: https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/blob/version-1-6/lib/pure/al...
Of course Knuth's original code is still some of the best classic code. K&R's original C book is a classic.

Nim: Curated Packages
I am working on OpenStreetMap renderer in Nim - see https://github.com/severak/lunarender3/ (but work somewhat stalled)
I needed some language which is:
- compiled to binaries
- and really fast
- has needed libraries (HTTP server, protocol buffers, sqlite and image generation)
- it's easy to set up
It was nice experience and Nim simply worked for my needs. People on Nim forum were nice and helped me when I ran into problems. It has nice and usable built-in library and I was really impressed by graphic library pixie - https://github.com/treeform/pixie
I would use Nim again when I when I will see this application is suited for it (e.g. some command line apps).

Building a simple room-based chat application in Nim (using HTMX)
> but not so small that there are no useful libraries written...
Says the person responsible for a ton of really useful, well-done Nim libraries, such as this amazing Cairo/Skia-like library: https://github.com/treeform/pixie#readme
Thank you for all the things you've made for Nim!

What sort of mature, open-source libraries do you feel Rust should have but currently lacks?
A 2d graphics library like Nim’s pixie

Nim Version 1.6 Released
Nim is the most readable language I've ever seen. I've dabbled with Go, but Nim is almost like pseudocodes+types. Highly recommend you take a like, try it out! You can use libraries like https://github.com/planety/prologue or https://github.com/treeform/pixie to create something quickly and fun(compile times are faaasst!).
And Nim does not have a mandatory GC, you can go as low-level as you want, but in case you don't want that you can choose from several great GC's(a capable soft real-time GC and Boehm for example).

A simple 2d graphic library
You can even check https://github.com/linebender/piet and https://github.com/RazrFalcon/tiny-skia. They are pure rust libraries. Skia as a whole is a big binary to add.
-
Typst, a modern alternative to LaTeX, is now open source
Looking through the source code. It looks like it's using tiny-skia for rendering.
-
Recommended UI framework to draw many 2D lines?
Tiny Skia (https://github.com/RazrFalcon/tiny-skia) which is a slower Rust port of Skia and does all software rendering.
-
Announcing piet-glow, a GL-based implementation of Piet for 2D rendering
https://github.com/RazrFalcon/tiny-skia is pretty great.

Is coding in Rust as bad as in C++? A practical comparison
I understand that this may sound harsh, but I also ported two (far bigger) codebases from C++ to Rust: rustybuzz and tiny-skia. Both of which are production -ready and not just prototypes. And mine not only do not use pointers, but also barely use unsafe in general.
-
Is there a way to avoid call overhead?
Here is a real world implementation in tiny-skia: https://github.com/RazrFalcon/tiny-skia/blob/master/src/pipeline/highp.rs

I want to draw 2d shapes directly to a u8 buffer without needing a window and without having to write drawing code from scratch.
How about tiny-skia?
-
Good example of high performance Rust project without unsafe code?
How about tiny-skia? Almost the same performance as C, no unsafe, a lot of explicit SIMD.

Announcing lyon 1.0.0
Now I would love to see a universal Bezier path crate, storage + common utilities like length, point at offset, some low-level stuff, etc. So it could be used as a foundation for other crates. Currently, there is a lot of friction because each crate has its own implementation.
-
I wrote a GUI library.
Nice to see tiny-skia in use.
What are some alternatives?
PixiJS - The HTML5 Creation Engine: Create beautiful digital content with the fastest, most flexible 2D WebGL renderer.
fontdue - The fastest font renderer in the world, written in pure rust.
Nim - Nim is a statically typed compiled systems programming language. It combines successful concepts from mature languages like Python, Ada and Modula. Its design focuses on efficiency, expressiveness, and elegance (in that order of priority).
