Interested in algorithms and data structures in Java go for DSA-Bootcamp-Java repository and Youtube videos related. All details are in the repository.
If you never tried DBeaver for your work with SQL databases, it is time to give this tool a try. I personally used this tool some time ago with only a positive impression about this tool.
If you are interested in Rust and cryptocurrencies you might also be interested in NFT. So, take a look at the Metaplex project. It grows on Github quite impressive.
If you love programmers’ humor take a look at hello-world.rs project, but first read a readme file to avoid misunderstanding or confusion.
As containers and containers management a hot topic last couple of years, youki project looks pretty interesting.

July the same as June was a Minecraft month in Java, there are multiple repositories related to Minecraft included in the report.
RustDesk still leading in Rust repositories by month growth and in the current month, this is a different repo with RustDesk demo server. I think the repository will continue gaining starts and we will see it in the August report as well.
Rust is extremely popular for blockchain development and if we previously sow in reports Solana-related repositories in the current report there is one more player – Substrate. If you are interested in blockchain technology it is worth checking.
I found the WGPU project very promising for the future which is actually implementing WebGPU API in Rust. Who is not familiar with WebGPU standard this is a standard to expose the capabilities of GPU hardware to the Web, which is promising for developing web and mobile multimedia applications and games.
One more project I would explicitly mention is TAURI, allowing faster and secure development of cross-platform native applications for web, desktop, and mobile.

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.
