  1. rust

    Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.

    I really would love for postfix match to stabilize. Also there are several const fn's in the standard library that aren't stable yet (splitting and indexing into arrays at compile time). For example, you can't use i32::default() at compile time. See also.

  2. InfluxDB

  4. propane

    generators

    Generators particularly the propane syntax for em

  5. proposal-record-tuple

    ECMAScript proposal for the Record and Tuple value types. | Stage 2: it will change!

    It will be called "record" in JavaScript which will swing the popularity back the other way I guess (currently a language proposal)

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
