I mean, to name a few projects off the top of my head:

Firefox
Android is migrating some of their internals.
The Linux kernel, Google Chrome, Thunderbird are preparing to use Rust.
Many Python programs now have Rust in there, because of the PyCrypto library.
Fish shell is in the middle of a RiiR.

I don't feel like there's a ton of big, mature projects yet, because of how relatively young Rust still is, but performance-critical or embedded software will be strongly considering Rust in the future.

And like C, Rust can be used to create libraries which can be called from practically any other programming language. I expect that to give it significant growth in the future.

Cloudflare, Discord, and AWS lambda run on Rust

Dang. Sounds pretty ubiquitous then. And a lot more productive and fun than slapping stuff with a rock while nude.
