Grin contains a phenomenal amount of cryptography: https://github.com/mimblewimble/grin Bulletproofs implementation in rust (small proof sizes): https://github.com/dalek-cryptography/bulletproofs ...with tons of really well done cryptography by that group (dalek): https://github.com/dalek-cryptography Pairing based crypto library used in the second largest distribution of Ethereum (and maybe zcash?): https://github.com/paritytech/bn These libraries have prompted me to start learning rust (albeit slowly as I'm using Go and C at work).

A team of three people including me have used Rust _daily_ for almost a year now for at Chain[1]. Rust is _by far_ much easier to use than C or C++ and lets us get things done with clear design, record-breaking performance[2] and utmost safety[3]. Basically, people who avoided C/C++ for years as unsafe, lacking usable abstractions and generally hard to use, switch to Rust and enjoy it.
