Frequently asked questions

How many open source projects are written in Rust?

This registry tracks 114 Rust projects, with 1,674,443 GitHub stars between them and a median of 6,152 stars. The most-adopted is RustDesk at 123,854 stars.

Which Rust projects are most actively maintained?

106 of the 114 projects were pushed in the last 90 days. Each entry above shows its exact last-push date, so you can filter out dormant projects before committing to one.

What licence are Rust projects usually under?

98 of the 114 carry an explicit open-source licence across 6 distinct licences, and the licence is shown on every card. Permissive licences (MIT, Apache-2.0) are the safest default for commercial use; check the copyleft ones individually.

Should I use Rust or Go for my project?

Both are viable. Rust is the better default if your team already knows it or the libraries you need are written in it; Go may suit you better if you need the ecosystem, tooling or performance profile it is known for. The registry lists 114 Rust projects to work from.
