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.

Write OpenAPI with TypeSpec
It does not exist, but it will be worked on fairly soon. You can track progress on GitHub [1]. It will be as you suggest - a one time conversion, after which you can iterate. We have this workflow for inside Azure, but the converter is Azure-specific (e.g. converts to TypeSpec that uses our extensive Azure-specific component library). It will take a bit to generalize.

Write SDK “base” in Rust, wrap in other languages?
Afaik there's nothing that's widely used and of which I'd say I prefer it. But I'm having hopes for https://github.com/microsoft/typespec (former cadl). The reason being that yaml/JSON specs get huge very quickly, OpenAPI has to fight with restrictions of yaml/JSON ($refs, splitting up into files, oneOf, etc.) and tooling is ok but not great.

Ask HN: Why is there no specification for Command Line Interfaces?
You've touched on some use cases I've thought about and led me to ask the question.
I also recently saw Microsoft take a higher level approach with CADL/Typespec: https://microsoft.github.io/typespec/ which could be cool if it reaches wide adoption.

Cadl: a new IDL
This one just crossed my feed today: Cadl, "... a language for describing cloud service APIs and generating other API description languages, client and service code, documentation, and other assets."

Opaque Types for UniFFI
On my youtube series "Growing up Rust", I'm building a personal CRM in Rust with a Swift frontend. I'm using CQRS and an event-driven architecture with the least amount of swift as possible. I'm using UniFFI to generate the bindings for swift (and in this example python)

Willow Protocol
Not officially. We currently have bindings for rust, python, golang and swift.
These were the most asked for bindings (python for ml, golang for networking and swift for ios apps).
We are using uniffi https://mozilla.github.io/uniffi-rs/
Would you need C or C++ bindings?

Show HN: Pip Imports in Deno
An alternative is metacall. The example in the readme is about calling Python from Javascript, but it also works with other languages, like Ruby, C#, Java, and other languages
https://github.com/metacall/core
List of supported languages here https://github.com/metacall/core/blob/develop/docs/README.md...
In the future, maybe webidl (or extensions of it) will bring interoperability between languages too. At the moment there is https://mozilla.github.io/uniffi-rs/ for interoperability between Rust and a number of languages (basically the ones mozilla needs: Swift, Kotlin, Javascript)

ffizz: Build a Beautiful C API in Rust
The tooling for the first kind -- calling Rust from another language -- is a bit less developed, and tends to rely on code generation that doesn't necessarily produce a natural C API. cbindgen, uniffi, cxx, and Diplomat all take this course.

macOS Apps in Rust
Mozilla's uniffi-rs is really good. You write a common IDL and the bindings are generated automatically.

At Mozilla we built a multi-language bindings generator: https://github.com/mozilla/uniffi-rs/

An experiment in the Rust compiler to begin devising a new cross-language ABI that's higher-level than the C ABI, with the goal of safer and easier FFI
Is there a connection with Mozilla UniFFI ?
