What’s an actual use case for Rust

• flyctl

  361 1,022 0.0 Go

  Command line tools for fly.io services

  

  - heavily used in for all kinds of network backend stuff, eg. at AWS, fly.io, Deno, even Cloudflare I think (don't they use deno deploy for some of their stuff?), Discord, Microsoft

• veloren

  20 - -

  Games (Veloren, or check out this website for updates on other games being developed in Rust)

• ONLYOFFICE

• tauri

  244 63,896 9.7 Rust

  Build smaller, faster, and more secure desktop applications with a web frontend.

  

  You can release any desktop application with web UI (Electron-style) using Tauri, here are some showcases

• axum

  77 10,409 7.1 Rust

  Ergonomic and modular web framework built with Tokio, Tower, and Hyper

  

  Web applications e.g. online chess, or anything from this showcase list for axum or any other web framework for Rust you could find (e.g. Actix and its showcase list)

• surrealdb

  75 20,499 9.8 Rust

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

  

  Databases (SurrealDB)

• gitoxide

  38 6,371 9.9 Rust

  There's a re-implementation of git called gitoxide

• rustdesk

  TestGPT | Generating meaningful tests for busy devs. Get non-trivial tests (and trivial, too!) suggested right inside your IDE, so you can code smart, create more value, and stay confident when you push.

  

• astro

  1 689 0.0 Rust

  A fun safe language for rapid prototyping and high performance applications (by astrolang)

  

  Some people tried using Rust to implement programming languages, right now I do not know any bigger language with compiler written in Rust but there was an attempt with astro. Match statements make parsing in Rust pretty comfortable.

• backend-lishuuro

  8 19 10.0 Rust

  Backend code for lishuuro.

  Web applications e.g. online chess, or anything from this showcase list for axum or any other web framework for Rust you could find (e.g. Actix and its showcase list)

• lapce

  3D and 2D game engine written in Rust

  

  Game engines (Bevy, Fyrox)

• evcxr

  36 4,454 6.2 Rust

  

  In theory you should be able to create Rust notebooks (Jupyter notebook) using evcxr so maybe some AI, data analysis, prototyping make sense if you aim for good performance in final application (protype in evcxr and use notebook as reference to implement final application in Rust for speed and safety).

• embassy

  36 2,119 7.9 Rust

  Modern embedded framework, using Rust and async.

  

  Embedded (getting examples is starting to get tiring, so here you have just a lightweight alternative for some of RTOS applications which do not have hard real time constraints)

• bevy

  242 24,040 9.9 Rust

  A refreshingly simple data-driven game engine built in Rust
