Hundreds of thousands of lines of Rust? Out of curiosity, what kind of software are you writing in Rust?

...

And can I get in on some of that? ;-)



The compiler and Mozilla's experimental rending engine Servo:

(The 'contributors' graphs suggest that pcwalton has added/removed more than 1 million lines of code in those two repos combined.)

Just a very concurrent browser engine ;) One that does everything in parallel. Basically every task that can be parallelized becomes parallel (rendering, JS execution, CSS matcher, etc.).

Also you can, there is Github for Servo (said parallel browser engine project by Mozilla).

The Rust compiler :) He is part of the Rust team and writes Servo.
