Here's a list of applications written in rust: https://github.com/rust-unofficial/awesome-rust#applications https://github.com/rust-unofficial/awesome-rust#applications People are using rust as they do other general purpose programming languages that have somewhat of a focus on systems programming: to write code. Your question isn't really easy to answer in the same way that someone asking "what are people building with python?" isn't useful. The answer is everything from webpages to text editors to operating systems, and everything in between.

Programming languages lend themselves to different applications and the kinds of projects one contributes to in one's hobby time are different than those one contributes to in one's professional time. As such, I wouldn't expect hobbyist Rust users to work on the same distribution of projects as professional Python developers. In any case, I just want to know what people are inspired to work on with Rust; it's an open ended question, and it's okay that this question has no single easy answer. (Also, "what are people building with Python?" is a very interesting question to me; it's pretty much why https://github.com/trending?l=python https://github.com/trending?l=python and similar exist--and note, the kinds of projects that trend for Python are very different from those that trend for Rust).
