## What it is
A curated awesome-list of Rust ecosystem gaps: use cases and problem domains that lack robust Rust libraries yet, maintained as a community README plus an issue tracker for voting and bounties. It aims to coordinate community effort to fill missing-library niches in the Rust ecosystem.

## Use cases
- find ideas for a new rust crate to build
- check if a rust library for X already exists
- discover gaps in the rust ecosystem before starting a project
- vote on missing rust libraries that I want
- find rust ecosystem issues to place bounties on
- research what rust libraries are still needed

## When to choose
- you want inspiration for a new Rust project with real community demand
- you are evaluating whether a Rust library exists for a domain before building one
- you want to signal demand for a missing Rust library via voting or bounties

## When to avoid
- you need an actual working library or tool rather than a list of gaps
- you want a traditional awesome-list of existing, recommended Rust resources

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: documentation, developer-tools
- domain: awesome-lists, programming-languages, developer-tools
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: awesome-list, rust, ecosystem-gaps, curated-list, community-resource, planning, community
