The most notable Rust project I know of is servo, the browser written in Rust. https://github.com/servo/servo https://github.com/servo/servo It is a massive undertaking and it's already sort of working in many regards.

See https://www.rust-lang.org/friends.html https://www.rust-lang.org/friends.html for a list of companies using Rust (perhaps most notably Dropbox and Mozilla), but here are some non-corporate projects off the top of my head: Panopticon, a cross-platform disassembler: https://panopticon.re/ https://panopticon.re/ Redox, an everything-is-a-URL microkernel OS: http://www.redox-os.org/ http://www.redox-os.org/ Piston, a modular collection of libraries for game development: http://www.piston.rs/ http://www.piston.rs/ Pijul, a next-gen implementation of Darcs: http://pijul.org/ http://pijul.org/ Xi, a high-performance text editor: https://github.com/google/xi-editor https://github.com/google/xi-editor timely-dataflow, "a low-latency cyclic dataflow computational model" (i.e. big data shenanigans): https://github.com/frankmcsherry/timely-dataflow https://github.com/frankmcsherry/timely-dataflow
