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.

Minimal graphics crate for Rust
But then somehow I feel it might not be what OP is after... because vulkan is pretty barebones in itself, even basic triangle example is almost 300 lines of code (550 with comments): https://github.com/vulkano-rs/vulkano-examples/blob/master/src/bin/triangle.rs

A minimal working Rust / SDL2 / WASM browser game
https://github.com/parasyte/pixels
That gives you a simple software framebuffer, and it builds as a native app or for the web.

How do rust gui frameworks avoid rerendering?
On a more recent machine, that same (well, more primitive) app with pixels or softbuffer struggled beyond acceptable. But was definitely poorly written.

placing pixels
Well, it depends on how you use it; writing to an image buffer isn't much less efficient than writing to any normal buffer (in fact, although displaying your scene to a window efficiently is important, your main bottleneck will be the actual ray tracing loop). You may want to read this article for a practical example of using an ImageBuffer to create and draw a texture with Piston. Other window backends you could use, apart from pixels which was already mentioned in another comment, include minifb and Mini GL, though I haven't personally used them.

Considerations for Power Draw with egui
You can use wgpu instead of opengl as in the pixels example: https://github.com/parasyte/pixels/tree/main/examples/minimal-fltk

Is Macroquad suitable for making games like Wolfenstein RPG?
It might be possible but with a raycaster you probably want to be able to easily set all pixels and create your own small engine. Something like the pixels crate should fit your purpose: https://github.com/parasyte/pixels

I love rust, I have a pet peeve with the community
The reality is that I have used unsafe that is also unsound out of convenience because fixing it is a papercut too many. And this tends to be common! I know enough to spot unsoundness in other projects (sometimes even early). But not enough to be confident in my own abilities to write sound unsafe code. Why? Because it's really flipping hard, that's why!

[WGPU][GLFW][HELP]
Also, if you just want to get-things-done, then https://github.com/parasyte/pixels might be a bit better, to avoid reinventing the wheel.

How to prevent performance drops affecting my Game Boy emulator when running on M1/M2 Macs?
However, I recently got a new M2 Macbook Air and started noticing some super weird behavior. While playing Pokemon Silver with an unlocked framerate, I'd notice that the game would slow down to below 60FPS, even on a release build. After printing a little debugging info I found the culprit in the rendering logic which was handled by the MiniFB crate. At first I thought switching to a GPU renderer (such as https://github.com/parasyte/pixels) would help, and it... kinda did?

Simple way to draw a pixel at coordinates
pixels uses wgpu and runs fine.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing vulkano-examples and pixels you can also consider the following projects:
macroquad - Cross-platform game engine in Rust.
miniquad - Cross platform rendering in Rust
bevy - A refreshingly simple data-driven game engine built in Rust
rust-sfml - SFML bindings for Rust
good-web-game - An alternative ggez implementation on top of miniquad.
rust_minifb - Cross platfrom window and framebuffer crate for Rust
ggez - Rust library to create a Good Game Easily
Tetra - 🎮 A simple 2D game framework written in Rust
