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.

Rust Offline?
Further we use cargo-auditable and cargo-audit as part of both our pipeline and regular scanning of all deployed services. This makes our InfoSec and Legal super happy since it means they can also monitor compliance with licenses and patch/update timings.

Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here (15/2023)!
This exists, see cargo auditable.

The Rust Implementation Of GNU Coreutils Is Becoming Remarkably Robust
The Rust community seems to have settled on a perfectly reasonable way to address bit-rot in statically linked binaries. https://github.com/rust-secure-code/cargo-auditable

Release Engineering Is Exhausting So Here's cargo-dist
Would you be open to integrating cargo auditable into this pipeline in some form? It seems like a great match.

Swift Achieved Dynamic Linking Where Rust Couldn't
> and static compilation probably just hides the problem unless security scanners these days can identify statically compiled vulnerable versions of libraries
Some scanners like trivy [1] can scan statically compiled binaries, provided they include dependency version information (I think go does this on its own, for rust there's [2], not sure about other languages).
It also looks into your containers.
The problem is what to do when it finds a vulnerability. In a fat app with dynamic linking you could exchange the offending library, check that this doesn't break anything for your use case, and be on your way. But with static linking you need to compile a new version, or get whoever can build it to compile a new version. Which seems to be a major drawback of discouraging fat apps.

'cargo auditable' can now be used as a drop-in replacement for Cargo
I have investigated a bunch of standardized formats - SPDX, CycloneDX, etc. All of them are unsuitable for a variety of reasons, chief of which are being way too verbose and including timestamps, which would break reproducible builds.

sccache now supports GHA as backend
The fix for interoperability with cargo auditable has also shipped in the latest release of sccache. You can use the released sccache now instead of building it from git!

`cargo audit` can now scan compiled binaries
I've been working to bring vulnerability scanning to Rust binaries by creating cargo auditable, which embeds the list of dependencies and their versions into the compiled binary. This lets you audit the binary you actually run, instead of the Cargo.lock file in some repo somewhere.

Here's how to patch the upcoming OpenSSL vulnerability in Rust
cargo auditable solves this problem by embedding the list of dependencies and their versions into the binaries. But until it becomes part of Cargo and gets enabled by default, static linking will remain problematic.

Are We Modules Yet?
If you aren't aware of the c++ core guidelines[1] - it should be on your radar.
Also, it might not be a popular opinion, but I think Bjarne's books are just fine.

Toward a TypeScript for C++"
In addition to the other comments -
TypeScript deliberately takes a "good enough" approach to improving JavaScript, instead of designing an ideal but incompatible approach. For example, its handling of [function parameter bivariance](https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/type-compatibil...) is unsound but works much better with the existing JavaScript ecosystem. By contrast, a more academic functional programming language would guarantee a sound type system but would be a huge shift from JavaScript.
By analogy, Herb Sutter is arguing that something like the [C++ Core Guidelines](https://isocpp.github.io/CppCoreGuidelines/CppCoreGuidelines), with tooling help in this new Cpp2 syntax, can bring real improvements to safety. Something like Rust's borrow checker would bring much stricter guarantees, backed by academic research and careful design, but would be incompatible and a huge adjustment.

MechE student here. Is there benefit to learning C in addition to C++, or can one do everything with C++ that can be done with C?

C++ is everywhere, but noone really talks about it. What are people's thoughts?
Take a look at Effective Modern c++ by Scott Meyers and the ISO c++ core guidelines. These resources are great for learning how to write better, more modern C++. I don't think it would be hard to grasp if you're already familiar with the language, just make sure to actually write some code which makes use of this stuff, otherwise it's easy to forget.

What are some C++ specific antipatterns that might be missed by C#/Java devs?
Look to the C++ Core Guidelines. It's not perfect, it has some flaws, including some sabotaging advice apparently adopted for political reasons. But at least it has some C++ authorities (Bjarne and Herb) as authors.
