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.

Was Rust Worth It?
Instead of looking at the crates themselves, you might want to check your (or others') Rust application with https://github.com/rust-secure-code/cargo-geiger to get a sense of effective prevalence. I also dispute that the presence of unsafe somewhere in the dependency tree is an issue in itself, but that's a different discussion that many more had in other sub-threads.

Found a language in development called Vale which claims to be the safest AOT compiled language in the World (Claims to beSafer than Rust)
There's still plenty. Run cargo geiger on any of your projects and see for yourself.

Question Omnibus: Dependency Fingerprinting, Unsafe Rust, and Memory Safety
On point 2, the answer is cargo geiger, and judging how much memory safety you need for a given project.

[Discussion] What crates would you like to see?
You can use cargo-geiger or cargo-crev to check for whether people you trusted (e.g. u/jonhoo ) trust this crate.

How do you choose what crate you will use?
The amount of unsafe code is also a factor. cargo geiger is a handy tool for measuring it.

Seems legit
We have cargo-geiger that does just that.

Rosenpass – formally verified post-quantum WireGuard
For that, I believe you need to use cargo-geiger[0] and audit the results.

Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here (6/2023)!
cargo-geiger is a subcommand you can install which will check all the crates in your dependency graph for unsafe blocks and print out a report (which also shows if a crate has #![forbid(unsafe_code)] or not). You can then inspect those crates' sources to judge their use of unsafe for yourself. I don't think it has a "check" mode that simply errors if your dependency graph contains unsafe though, it's more about just collecting that information.

[CCS Proposal] Preliminary research on rewriting Monero node in Rust
wrt to memory safety, keep in mind that many rust crates use "unsafe" internally. There are tools available that can find these such as cargo-geiger. So I would suggest to avoid unsafe deps as much as possible. Since they cannot be avoided entirely, it is a good idea to keep a list of unsafe deps.

Using GenAI to improve developer experience on AWS
Working in combination with CodeWhisperer in your IDE, you can send whole code sections to Amazon Q and ask for an explanation of what the selected code does. To show how this works, we open up the file.rs file cloned from this GitHub repository. This is part of an open source project to host documentation of crates for the Rust Programming Language, which is a language we are not familiar with.

TSDocs.dev: type docs for any JavaScript library
Looks like a great initiative – I wish there was a reliable TS/JS equivalent of https://docs.rs (even considering rustdoc's deficiencies[1]).
I went through this exercise recently and so far my experience with trying to produce documentation from a somewhat convoluted TS codebase[2] has been disappointing. I would claim it's a consequence of the library's public (user-facing) API substantially differing from how the actual implementation is structured.
Typedoc produces bad results for that codebase so sphinx-js, which I wanted to use, doesn't have much to work with. I ultimately documented things by hand, for now, the way the API is meant to be used by the user.
Compare:

vs
https://tsdocs.dev/docs/ts-results-es/4.1.0-alpha.1/index.ht...

How did I need to know about feature rwh_05 for winit?
Rust Search Extension adds a section on docs.rs menubar which lists the features of a crate in a nice and easy to access format.

Embassy on ESP: GPIO
📝 Note: At the time of writing this post, I couldn't really locate the init function docs.rs documentation. It didn't seem easily accessible through any of the current HAL implementation documentation. Nevertheless, I reached the signature of the function through the source here.

First Rust Package - Telegram Notification Framework (Feedback Appreciated)
Rust Crates are a Game-Changer 🎮:The ease of releasing a crate with `cargo publish` and the convenience of rolling out new versions amazed me. The auto-generated docs on Docs.rs. is an amazing tool, especially with docstring formatting. Doc tests serve as a two-fold tool for documenting the code and ensuring it's up-to-date.

Grimoire: Open-Source bookmark manager with extra features
I've found I manually type out certain subsets of URLs where possible[0], maybe that's subconsciously associated with my impression that Google Search results have gotten worse and worse over the years.
[0] https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ and https://docs.rs/ come to mind.

Released my first crate ~20 hours ago; already downloaded 12 times. Who would know about it?
docs.rs also downloads you crate automatically to generate docs and I would guess lib.rs does something similar

Managed to land a junior role need help!
There are also a few key sites you'll want to keep in your back pocket at all times: - The Standard Library Documentation has complete documentation for every std library function in Rust - crates.io is a repository for all third-party packages, and docs.rs has human-readable documentation for the overwhelming majority of them - The Rust Cookbook has some code examples for common tasks you may need to perform - Make sure you are using clippy, which is available through Rustup and can be run with cargo clippy as a replacement to cargo check, it adds additional lints for your Rust code and is very helpful for teaching many of the best practices

How do you like code documentation inline in the source code vs. as separate guides, or how would you do it?
OTOH, source-code-generated-docs normalize how code docs are, like the rust docs.rs paradigm, so it sort of forces or encourages package creators/maintainers to write docs.
