Observations

across the Java projects in May there is only one highly growing project related to the anime game. Before, the same story was happening with Minecraft-related projects, but the “Grasscutter” project is something new.
If you find the “unidbg” project interesting for you, please remember this is an educational project which should be used only at your own risk.
“RisingWave” project looks pretty interesting as a connector between data streams and applications consuming them.
“RustDesk” has already more than 21k stars on GitHub and still growing pretty fast. Definitely worth trying if you are looking for TeamViewer alternative software.
Android-related applications are still in trend on Github. Mostly Java-based, but Rust has also come to the radar recently.
