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.

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.

would you use rust for scripting?
Just a few minutes ago I learned about https://github.com/matklad/xshell and it looks nice!

Rust for Web Development | An Honest Evaluation
For developer-oriented stuff, there's tools like xshell and cargo-xtask. For operator tasks that need to run in a deployed environment, it's not usually a big lift to add CLI subcommands to your binary. It's certainly more boilerplate and inertia than doing stuff in a live REPL, though, and sometimes difficult to recommend for truly one-off situations.

Rust as bash scripting replacement?
how was your experience with trying to use [xshell](https://github.com/matklad/xshell/) as a shell script replacement? was the boilerplate worth it?

Rust Support in the Linux Kernel
* time to compile whatever syn generated
I didn’t do a super thorough studies of things, but my impression is that 2, performance of syn itself, is rarely an issue. Most of the time it is 1) (and the associated problem of decreased build parallelism because half of the crates wait for syn to compile) and 3).
To get a feeling how costly a simple proc macro is, run this benchmark: https://github.com/matklad/xshell/blob/4e5090e9f79baeed1037b....

cradle: Run child processes with ease
This is an API vulnerable to shell injection. I think it’s relatively important to design command-running libraries which don’t re-introduce the possibility of this error into Rust. The fix here is to ensure that the string is a compile-time string, and, preferably, even lex it at compile time. See xshell for an example of ergonomic and safe API here: https://github.com/matklad/xshell.

The Plan for the Rust 2021 Edition
Note that “lexer level” proc macros, which don’t parse rust code, and which don’t generate a ton of Rust code, could be pretty light weight on compile times. Here’s a benchmark one can run to measure that: https://github.com/matklad/xshell/blob/master/tests/it/main.rs#L376
