What do you code in Rust? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I've only been coding with Python/Javascript since I started my career. I do APIs and websites frontend. I don't really understand what is interesting in learning an other language. For example, I could learn Ruby, but I'd do the same thing I already do.

Rust, C/C++ tho seem to me to be languages to code other things. Hence my question : what do you code? If possible, make distinction between personal projects and professional projects.

Various projects. With C I wrote drivers and networking stacks for embedded systems, with C++ I worked for years on a the networking layers of a now long gone smartphone OS. With Rust I've been doing hobby projects like a library+application (win/linux/macos) for controlling WeMo switches on the LAN. Most recent is a Memory+CPU usage monitoring applet for the nascent COSMIC desktop environment.
