How to read this
These are the words that most often appear alongside “rust” in trending repository names, scored by co-occurrence. Co-occurrence is a counting fact; what it means is interpretation, so read the high scores with some care.
The top term, “sdk” (1.00), is mostly an artifact: it is carried by a single repository, unicity-astrid/sdk-rust, rather than a broad pattern. Below it, two groups stand out. One is the genuine Rust toolchain and ecosystem, where “cargo”, “clippy”, “rustup”, “rfcs”, “wasm”, and “embassy” or “embedded” all reflect real adjacent tooling. The other is incidental name overlap: “litellm”, “solana”, and “masterhttprelayvpn” share the string without sharing a domain. The ecosystem terms are the ones worth following.
