Review Rust?

Review evidence is sparse: there are no written user reviews, and the founder entries include ratings but no text. That means reviewers do not leave concrete, quoteable feedback here about strengths, weaknesses, learning curve, or day-to-day use. The only clear signal is broad positive sentiment from makers of products such as Dodo Payments, Meilisearch, and Quadratic, but without written comments, any deeper summary would be speculation.

used Rust to build Signup Links by Wingback

•4 reviews

Rust’s unparalleled safety and concurrency features allow us to handle high-stakes billing logic with zero compromises on performance or reliability. The incredible confidence you can have when refactoring for a big new feature is a game changer for a fast moving startup. We could move and not break things! Procedural macros, that everybody know for serde, also made it easy to enforce safety in usually negliged places, like typed ids used everywhere from the db to the core (we contributed https://github.com/wingbackapp/k... to the community).

Coming from 10 years of modern C++, Rust feels both like a breath of fresh air and a spiritual successor who learned from both the good and the bad of its illustrious predecessor. Rust's key insight is the "mutable XOR aliased" concept that promotes memory safety while keeping the memory model of C and C++, and the attached performance. Tuck brilliant tooling and contemporary ergonomics on top of that, and you'll surely find more than one good reason to keep writing Rust in the future 🚀

used Rust to build DropSpot

•3 reviews

Creating a cross-platform solution to allow both CLI tooling and web browser functionality was made incredibly easy by compiling both to x84 and WASM architectures! Having a single source of truth for the application's functionality has been a game changer, rather than trying to share it across different languages.

used Rust to build Enki

•3 reviews

We built the Enki backend four times, starting with Rust, then Go, followed by Python, and finally back to Rust. The decision to return to Rust was driven by two key factors: exceptional support from libSQL, our primary database, and the unparalleled developer experience. With Rust, if it passes the compiler, there's a 99% chance it won’t break in production.

used Rust to build Palform

Large parts of the codebase are Rust/WASM. Without this, scaling performance for tens of thousands of form responses would be impossible. Plus, the wide-ranging compiler guarantees are essential for an application like this, where there's nothing more important than security.

used Rust to build TensorZero

•3 reviews

When we started TensorZero, we didn't know any Rust, but we knew it was the right tool for the job. Maybe it was crazy to start a company using a programming language the team didn't know, but in retrospect, it was the right decision. Rust is now my favorite language. Rust 🦀 enables TensorZero to achieve superior performance, correctness, and integrability into other languages.

We chose Rust for SurrealDB because performance and safety matter. Rust’s memory safety guarantees and zero-cost abstractions let us build a fast, scalable database engine without sacrificing reliability.
