Today we are reviewing Java and Rust repositories on GitHub with the highest number of starts acquired in June month. All information below was collected from GitHub trending page.
If you are interested in last month article follow this link.
About the project: Sodium is a free and open-source optimization mod for the Minecraft client that improves frame rates, reduces micro-stutter, and fixes graphical issues in Minecraft.
About the project: QuestDB is a high-performance, open-source SQL database for applications in financial services, IoT, machine learning, DevOps and observability. It includes endpoints for PostgreSQL wire protocol, high-throughput schema-agnostic ingestion using InfluxDB Line Protocol, and a REST API for queries, bulk imports, and exports.
About the project: A new type of shell, Nu comes with a set of built-in commands (listed below). If a command is unknown, the command will shell-out and execute it (using cmd on Windows or bash on Linux and macOS), correctly passing through stdin, stdout, and stderr, so things like your daily git workflows and even vim will work just fine.
About the project: A cross-platform graphical process/system monitor with a customizable interface and a multitude of features. Supports Linux, macOS, and Windows. Inspired by gtop, gotop, and htop.
About the project: All algorithms implemented in Rust (for educational purposes).
Obversvations
June was a Minecraft month in Java, there are multiple repositories related to Minecraft in the report.
RustDesk showing really impressive performance and popularity growth, it is already the third time in a row in this report.
RustDesk is not the single application you should check out from the Rest repositories, take a look on Nushell, Helix, Bottom and GitUI as well. The number of starss of Nushell repository is quite impressive.
Blockchain is still trendy in Rust repositories, especially for Salana.
If you want to see how to implement algorithms in Rust, but weren’t sure where to start there is a repository in the list just for you. Enjoy!
Feel free to share your observations, ideas, and thoughts in the comments section below, I will be happy to read all of them.
One more month passed and time to review Java and Rust repositories on GitHub with the highest number of starts acquired during the last month. All information below collected from GitHub.
We are starting the May review, but if you are interested in April statistics here is the link.
About the project: Android Auto Apps Downloader (AAAD) is an app for Android Phones that downloads popular Android Auto 3rd party apps and installs them in the correct way to have them in Android Auto. No root access required in the latest version.
About the project: PojavLauncher is a Minecraft: Java Edition launcher for Android and iOS based on Boardwalk. This launcher can launch almost all available Minecraft versions (from rd-132211 to 21w09a (1.17) snapshot, including Combat Test versions). Modding via Forge and Fabric are also supported.
About the project: high-performance Java API Gateway, ShenYu has been used widely in more and more systems in many companies, and it’s simple and convenient to integrate Services/APIs with the high performance and flexibility.
About the project: Apache Iceberg is a new table format for storing large, slow-moving tabular data. It is designed to improve on the de-facto standard table layout built into Hive, Trino, and Spark.
About the project: Apache Pulsar is a cloud-native, distributed messaging and streaming platform originally created at Yahoo! and now a top-level Apache Software Foundation project.
About the project:DataFusion is an extensible query execution framework, written in Rust, that uses Apache Arrow as its in-memory format.
DataFusion supports both an SQL and a DataFrame API for building logical query plans as well as a query optimizer and execution engine capable of parallel execution against partitioned data sources (CSV and Parquet) using threads.
DataFusion also supports distributed query execution via the Ballista crate.
About the project:the Solana Program Library (SPL) is a collection of on-chain programs targeting the Sealevel parallel runtime. These programs are tested against Solana’s implementation of Sealevel, solana-runtime, and deployed to its mainnet.
About the project:Solana is a fast, secure, and censorship resistant blockchain providing the open infrastructure required for global adoption.
Observations
Apache Pulsar (Java) and RustDesk (Rust) demonstrate impressive growth last 2 months.
Java is still present in Android development and there are projects worth to review. AAAD growth this month is amazing, looks like exactly what was needed.
It the quite an interesting idea with code examples I really like it.
Rust is giving a new breeze for tools development, this is a good sign that more robust, interested, and reliable tools will come. As a long-time Ubuntu user, I’m happy about that.
There is a demo page of egui project, definitely recommend seeing it.
Airbyte worth some time to review, especially considering they just raised a $26M Series-A round, led by Benchmark.
Last but not least, if we speak about the Rust projects – there are traditionally projects related to crypto and blockchain technologies. I think this is a good synergy for both (language & technology) of them.
Feel free to share your observations, ideas, and thoughts in the comments section below, I will be happy to read all of them.
