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 backwards-incompatible changes would you make in a hypothetical Rust 2.0?
If you want some prior work on this, I've implemented effect-objects-as-return-values in my own language Tao, using uniqueness types. There's still work to be done, but I think it's sufficient as a proof of concept that this approach is viable without type soup.

What are Rust’s biggest weaknesses?
I've personally found through my experiments working on my language Tao that having effects be a property of the return value and not the function itself is very useful and opens up a lot of doors, like iterators that generate effectful values and more precise control over when side effects occur and in what context.

Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here! (29/2022)!
If you’d like to see some examples of great error messages written by a language with a parser combinator, I recommend you check out tao, which is parsed via chumsky, and provides rust-like error messages with the help of ariadne! I have been fiddling with writing my own language for a while now, and after trying out the alternatives, I found Chumsky to be great to work with, and can not recommend it enough. There are also great examples that you can find in the repo as well!

Write your own programming language in an hour with Chumsky
I've been developing both throughout the development of Tao, my own hobby language. It's since developed quite an extensive syntax (see here for an example: https://github.com/zesterer/tao/blob/master/examples/99.tao), so you can count it as evidence that chumsky scales to complex grammars: https://github.com/zesterer/tao

Toy C compiler, worth having an IR stage?
I wrote https://github.com/DoctorWkt/acwj. I'm working on a version with an IR so I can add some optimisations to it. I'd say, yes, have an IR :-)

Why Take a Compiler Course?
I currently study https://github.com/DoctorWkt/acwj which is quite interesting I have to admit.
I'm interested in this topic, because I want to participate in TinyC compiler's development; I use it quite often to run C demos of mine and its execution is instant.
The least I can do is to either fix bugs or extend it to support more C99, C11, C17 features, and why not even C23 as soon as it gets approved?
All I need is to gain the necessary knowledge and experience to jump right in and start fixing things.

Toy languages for implementing a compiler.
I took a journey writing my first compiler, and started with just evaluating integer expressions. From there, I moved to adding language features and ended up with a compiler that could compile itself: https://github.com/DoctorWkt/acwj
