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.

Pros and Cons of Rust for Cybersecurity
But, due to the young ecosystem, Rust isn't often the best choice for the 2nd category. There are exceptions: while working on a ROP exploitation CLI tool, I was surprised to find the top 3 fastest x86-64 disassemblers are all written in Rust. But other languages just have more mature security ecosystems. Python in particular has some amazing libraries like scapy and bindings for yara.

Just released v0.2.0 of bddisasm - a no_std x86/x86_64 instruction decoder which aims to provide as much information as possible about an instruction
I hate to be that guy, but I want to mention the disas-bench project, a open-source benchmark for various disassembler libraries, including bddisasm.
What are some alternatives?
osmini - Mini operating system with a graphical interface, for x64 platforms, in Rust and Assembly [just started]
bddisasm - bddisasm is a fast, lightweight, x86/x64 instruction decoder. The project also features a fast, basic, x86/x64 instruction emulator, designed specifically to detect shellcode-like behavior.
yara-python - The Python interface for YARA
iced - Blazing fast and correct x86/x64 disassembler, assembler, decoder, encoder for Rust, .NET, Java, Python, Lua
mishegos - A differential fuzzer for x86 decoders
x64asm - Library to write x64 Assembly code from Rust, more properly. Designed for the nasm assembler
scapy - Scapy: the Python-based interactive packet manipulation program & library.
rp - rp++ is a fast C++ ROP gadget finder for PE/ELF/Mach-O x86/x64/ARM/ARM64 binaries.
dream86 - dream86 - x86/PC emulator
lineiform - A meta-JIT library for Rust interpreters
