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.

What's the project you're currently working on at your company as a Rust developer?
I’m working on Fathom: A declarative data definition language for formally specifying binary data formats. https://github.com/yeslogic/fathom

- Cosmic Text: Pure Rust multi-line text handling

Is it conveninent to make cross-platform GUI softwares using Rust now?
But again you don't need to reinvent text layout from scratch (that's my discussion, BTW) if you use the platform's native text drawing facilities, like DirectWrite on Windows, or CoreText on macOS.

Getting a pointer to a field of an enum
All these layers of Cows create an extremely complex lifetime tree and it's actually not possible to factor out the complex parsing steps into functions because they depend on a lot of stuff. (trying to return an OutlineBuilder from a function would dangling reference about 3 different temporaries, for example. Obtaining the temporaries is part of the parsing step)

Rust's Option and Result. In Python.
machine learning, neural networks, image processing, cryptography (though it is getting better), font shaping/rendering (though it is getting better), CPU/software rendering (though it is getting better)

What's the project you're currently working on at your company as a Rust developer?
It can be used for the things you suggest but our driving use case is font parsing. The goal is to use it to generate the font parsing code in Allsorts, which is ultimately used in Prince.

Speedy2D: Easy-to-use library for graphics, text, and input events
It's something I'd like to improve on in future -- are there any pure-Rust libraries you'd recommend for shaping? Allsorts looks quite promising.
- Ask HN: How do you use Rust at work?
What are some alternatives?
humility - Debugger for Hubris
rustybuzz - A complete harfbuzz's shaping algorithm port to Rust
vector - A high-performance observability data pipeline.
rust-harfbuzz - Rust bindings to HarfBuzz
te - A parser, runtime and specification for the text expression language to make text processing human readable
pathfinder - A fast, practical GPU rasterizer for fonts and vector graphics
cxx-qt - Safe interop between Rust and Qt
glium - Safe OpenGL wrapper for the Rust language.
te - C++17 Run-time polymorphism (type erasure) library
lingua-rs - The most accurate natural language detection library for Rust, suitable for short text and mixed-language text
