Top 23 Rust Applications written in Rust Projects

• alacritty

  A cross-platform, OpenGL terminal emulator.

  Latest mention: Terminal Stuttering In 2010 | reddit.com/r/Ubuntu | 2021-01-26

• ripgrep

  Latest mention: CVE-2021-3156: Heap-Based Buffer Overflow in Sudo | news.ycombinator.com | 2021-01-26

  Try https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep – it’s across the board better, and one of the best personal productivity boosts you can make if you use grep frequently.

  > This seems a little dismissive of the Servo project.

  I disagree. The servo project has not (yet) "built a new engine from scratch". In fact it is very far from being a complete engine, if you look at their "Remainig Work" Page[^1].

  BTW, last year, they focused on Virtual Reality, which isn't helpful to build a basic web engine. According to their roadmap[^2], they're not even sure of what their long-term target is: a new web browser or an embedable lib.
