Hi Rustaceans,  

Rust is fast, safe and hip.  

But, what can you actually build with Rust?  

…whether you want to use Rust professionally or as a hobbyist.  

Here are a few common types of applications built using Rust:  

**Blockchain**  

* Rust is a great choice for blockchain applications because it is fast and secure.
* You can write both smart contracts and entire blockchains using Rust.
* Some popular blockchain projects written in Rust include Solana, Polkadot, and Near.

**Embedded programs**  

* Rust is also well-suited for embedded programs, such as those used in cars, airplanes, and other devices.
* This is because Rust is memory-safe, memory-efficient and can be compiled to run on a variety of platforms.

**Server-side applications / Microservices**  

* Rust is a great choice for server-side applications and microservices because it is fast and efficient.
* ==Some popular server-side web frameworks written in Rust include Actix Web, Warp, and Axum.==
* Many companies are migrating their critical microservices to Rust because of its safety and performance guarantees.

**WebAssembly**  

* Rust can be compiled to WebAssembly, which means that you can use Rust to build web applications.
* Rust’s small runtime and first-class support for WebAssembly often make it the first contender for any WebAssembly projects.

This is only a small sample of what you can build in Rust.  

In general, Rust is a great choice if you are looking for speed, safety and versatility.  

If you want more details, here’s a YouTube video I made on the same topic.

Have fun building!
