Finally, I have some time to cover one of my ideas I wanted to cover for quite a long time.

Observations
- if there is no mistake the Rust project popularity growth is really impressive.
- from growing Java repositories big amount include Apache projects what is no surprise.
- from growing Rust repositories big amount related to cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology
- I found interesting Dependency-Check and Neovide projects definitely worth to try.
I’m going to post this kind of articles every month if you are interested feel free to share your thoughts in the comments.
