What do you think is the next major direction for Rust adoption?

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/rust

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • surrealdb

    A scalable, distributed, collaborative, document-graph database, for the realtime web

  • SurrealDB is written entirely in Rust and it looks pretty promising tbh

  • faer-rs

    Linear algebra foundation for the Rust programming language

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • rustdesk

    An open-source remote desktop, and alternative to TeamViewer.

  • RustDesk uses Rust + Flutter for desktop.

  • embassy

    Modern embedded framework, using Rust and async.

  • lapce

    Lightning-fast and Powerful Code Editor written in Rust

  • One of the bigger desktop GUI Rust application projects of which I'm aware is the Lapce text editor/IDE and it uses a fork of an earlier GUI exploration.

  • egui

    egui: an easy-to-use immediate mode GUI in Rust that runs on both web and native

  • On the "immediate mode" front egui (Showcase gallery) seems to be gaining some level of "critical mass" in terms of uptake which has resulted in quite a wide variety of backend implementations (both "official" & 3rd party). This has had the benefit that you can use egui in a "low dependencies" context but also find it integrations implemented for bigger projects such as Bevy--so it's nice to have the ability to transfer one's egui knowledge into multiple contexts. (egui is also the Rust GUI crate with which I've had the most experience.).

  • nih-plug

    Rust VST3 and CLAP plugin framework and plugins - because everything is better when you do it yourself

  • The potential is both in terms of moving away from proprietary corporate-controlled standards (but also still providing shared wrappers to support those "legacy" :) audio plugin formats) and supporting Rust as a first class development language (via e.g. https://github.com/robbert-vdh/nih-plug).

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • atomic-polyfill

    Discontinued ⚠️ DEPRECATED ⚠️ -- use `portable-atomic` instead.
