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.

Started using Rust for scripting
3) xflags is my preferred way to parse CLI arguments for such scripts. It's not good at all, but, for me, it's the best for the task at the moment.
- Announcement: xflags 3.0.0

pico-args: An ultra simple CLI arguments parser with 0 dependencies
You might like xflags. It has a similar design philosophy, but is willing to compromise on simplicity a bit to get auto-generated help.

Announcement: xflags, fast-to-compile proc macro for cli args

Argument parsers that don't choke on invalid unicode
Added https://github.com/matklad/xflags/blob/master/examples/non-utf8.rs.

Announcement: xflags 3.0.0
Actually, I would say getargs on this one. Full disclosure, I'm a major contributor to the library, but it is also faster than lexopt, and provides a bit more control.
-
Inlining functions that will only ever be called once - is this a good convention?
I have benchmarked getargs to have significant performance gains from inlining.

How do i learn about new crates?
I'd recommend getargs over argparse, it's also very well documented (but that version is not on crates.io yet)
-
How to parse `strace -c ls -a` using clap?
It pains me that getargs 0.5.0 is still not released yet. If you can deal with a git dependency, I would highly recommend it, it can do exactly what you want with no fuss.

What's everyone working on this week (23/2022)?
I'm currently working on bringing up getargs, which was abandoned on crates.io over 2 years ago. It has an API design that I agree with and I wanted to make it great, so I'm giving it a visit from the PR fairy.

What are legitimate problems with Rust?
If it's perfectly fine then it shouldn't be terribly difficult to write it in a way that the borrow checker is happy with. The problem is reformulating your problem such that it's easy to either annotate the lifetimes in that way or have the compiler infer them for you. And it's made more difficult if your libraries have incorrectly elided lifetimes.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing xflags and getargs you can also consider the following projects:
pico-args - An ultra simple CLI arguments parser.
faketty - Wrapper to exec a command in a pty, even if redirecting the output
argh - Rust derive-based argument parsing optimized for code size
async-fundamentals-initiative
lexopt - Minimalist pedantic command line parser
gumdrop - Rust option parser with custom derive support
clap-rs - A full featured, fast Command Line Argument Parser for Rust
ponyc - Pony is an open-source, actor-model, capabilities-secure, high performance programming language
strop - Stochastically generates machine code
bpaf - Command line parser with applicative interface
