What can be written in Rust?

It is very interesting to watch the growth of this language, but it is not entirely clear what it is for. Those. it is clear that it was created for the new Mozilla Firefox, that it is good for creating things close to the hardware, that it can be said to be a replacement for C (or not) - all these are common words. So...
Let's imagine that you or I are sitting at the computer, we have wonderful knowledge of Rust... We are ready and cheerful.
WHAT CAN WE WRITE NOW AND IN THE NEXT MONTH/YEAR/COUPLE OF YEARS?

Are you looking for an idea to do this in a trendy-cool language? There, right now, the field is still unplowed in terms of libs and utilities.

In the first paragraph of the documentation. Or did not learn to read docks?

Good tasks in which I myself would be happy to participate:
Areas where there is a lot of legacy, but too little new - DBMS (like Virtuoso), CAD, OS.
Programs, bugs and brakes in which can greatly interfere with life - a terminal emulator, a window manager, a shell, an analogue of iPython / Jupiter.
Robotics and embedded systems based on 32-bit processors with little memory.
Virtual machines like JVM, .NET, Parrot.
The core of the computer algebra system.
Most likely, Rust will take root in gamedev, but this topic is of little interest to me (if the game itself is not interested).
