I have been using Rust full-time since 2017 to design software that makes predictions for the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. During my PhD and 5-year postdoc at ETH, I designed computer algebra programs that can handle massive computations involving expressions with millions of terms that can easily take up a terabyte of memory. This specialized software is based on programs from the 1990s, which are hard to use, and very hard to maintain.

At the end of 2022, I decided to design a new computer algebra package from scratch in Rust that is both easy to use and is blazing fast: Symbolica.
