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.

Conditioonal Compilation across Crates?
However, it seems that C is not "notified" whether --cfg thing is set, only the main crate being built is. Regardless of this flag, the dummy macro is always chosen. Am I doing something wrong? It should work; the Creusot project is doing something similar.

Kani 0.29.0 has been released!
I believe https://github.com/xldenis/creusot is more similar in that it also uses proofs to prove rust code correct.
-
Prop v0.42 released! Don't panic! The answer is... support for dependent types :)
Wow that sounds really cool! I'm not an expert but does that mean that one day you could implement dependend types or refinement types in Rust as a crate ? I currently only know of tools like: Flux Creusot Kani Prusti

Linus Torvalds: Rust will go into Linux 6.1
Easy reasoning does not end on memory safety. For example, deductive verification of Rust code is possible exactly because there's no reference aliasing in safe Rust

A personal list of Rust grievances
> No support for using something like separation logic within Rust itself to verify that unsafe code upholds the invariants that the safe language expects.
I think this is something we might see in the future. There are a lot of formal methods people who are interested in rust. Creusot in particular is pretty close to doing this - at least for simpler invariants

Whiley, a language with statically checked pre and post conditions, releases its 0.6.1 version and portions implemented in Rust
Seems similar in principle to cruesot except as another language instead of as a layer on-top of rust.

What it feels like when Rust saves your bacon
You often encounter this entire thread of rhetoric when someone wants to put a diversion into the central argument, yeah but it doesn't ____.
But Rust does do that, match exhaustiveness, forcing the handling of errors and the type system enables things like CreuSAT [1] using creusot [2]

> Creusot works by translating Rust code to WhyML, the verification and specification language of Why3. Users can then leverage the full power of Why3 to (semi)-automatically discharge the verification conditions!
Units of Measure, https://github.com/iliekturtles/uom
The base properties of the language enable things that can never be done in C++.

What Is Rust's Unsafe?
> I’ve been working on a tool: https://github.com/xldenis/creusot to put this into practice
Note that there are other tools trying to deal with formal statements about Rust code. AIUI, Rust developers are working on forming a proper working group for pursuing these issues. We might get a RFC-standardized way of expressing formal/logical conditions about Rust code, which would be a meaningful first step towards supporting proof-carrying code within Rust.

AdaCore and Ferrous Systems Joining Forces to Support Rust
This is exciting! I've met with people from AdaCore and Ferrous systems (individually) several times and they're all serious, competent and motivated.
I'm curious what kinds of software they want to (eventually) verify, my PhD thesis is developing a verification tool for Rust (https://github.com/xldenis/creusot) and I'm always on the look out for case studies to push me forward.
The road to formally verified Rust is still long but in my unbiased opinion looking quite bright, especially compared to other languages like C.

More than you've ever wanted to know about errors in Rust
I couldn't find it in the API guidelines either. From what I understand, the idea is that any trait bounds, which includes generic type parameter bounds and lifetime bound on a type (struct or enum) would be repeated back in the impl block
there is a nice discussion on this issue here: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/1689

New clippy lint: detecting `&mut` which could be `&` in function arguments
You should not blindly follow clippy lints. They are sometimes wrong. Another example https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/9782 .
- Let else will finally be formatted by rustfmt soon

My deduplication solution written in Rust beats everything else: casync, borg...
I often write () = f() to assert that f() is unit. Unfortunately clippy warns on such code ( https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/9048 ). There are very recent pull requests for this bug, so hopefully this bug will be fixed very soon. But meanwhile I invented this workaround: [()] = [f()] :)

Any open source projects willing to take in juniors?
Apart from running clippy on many projects being essential, clippy is also an exceptionally welcoming project, no matter your prior knowledge.
-
Any new Opensource projects in (rust) looking for contributors. I want to start my journey as an OSS contributor.
clippy is a great place to get started :) though it isn't exactly new.
-
I want to contribute in a big project
clippy is also pretty compiler-adjacent and unlike rust-analyzer uses rustc's internal APIs. Don't let the size of the code base scare you off! It's actually feasible for a newcomer to contribute even such a substantial change as a new lint, and we have issues labeled as "good first issue" that come with mentorship, so you don't need to go it alone.

rustc-plugin: A framework for writing plugins that integrate with the Rust compiler
Yes, you could use it to write a lint. Although you might find it easier to just fork Clippy and add your own lints to their existing framework.

Rust Tips and Tricks #PartOne
They are two of my favorite Rust tools. If you haven’t tried them yet, I highly recommend giving them a try. Clippy can detect various lints in your code and guide you towards writing more idiomatic code. To install Clippy, simply run rustup component add clippy, and to run it within your workspace, execute cargo clippy. For more details, visit Clippy’s GitHub repository.
