Observations

  • There are no clear trending projects in the Java category in December 2022.
  • Nowadays many organizations have Kafka in their technology stack. The “UI for Apache Kafka” project interesting and promising project to include in your toolset. As it is claimed on the project page – built by developers, for developers.
  • The project growth trends in the Rust category are incredible. It is clearly visible that Rust is a “hot” topic in the development community.
  • The “burn” project from the Rust category seems something really needed. A deep learning framework with a focus on researchers and practitioners. I would like to see more AI/ML-oriented projects coming in this category.

Observations

  • The “CATS” project from the Java category looks very interesting to try especially if you are involved in API development or testing.
  • The “sniffnet” project from the Rust category has shown extreme growth in November.
  • I personally found the “Hurl” project from the Rust category worth trying. It seems a very easy way to script HTTP communications and create test scenarios. It is like cURL but with assertions.
  • The “Ruff” project from the Rust category is a great example of when one programming language can help another. In this case, fast Rust code helps avoid mistakes in Python code.
