Rust's applicability to writing research software has been examined in other fields. A journal article published to ''[[Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union]]'' used Rust to simulate multi-planet systems.<ref name=ResearchSoftware1>{{Cite journal |last1=Blanco-Cuaresma |first1=Sergi |last2=Bolmont |first2=Emeline |date=2017-05-30 |title=What can the programming language Rust do for astrophysics? |url=https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/proceedings-of-the-international-astronomical-union/article/what-can-the-programming-language-rust-do-for-astrophysics/B51B6DF72B7641F2352C05A502F3D881 |journal=[[Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union]] |language=en |volume=12 |issue=S325 |pages=341–344 |doi=10.1017/S1743921316013168 |arxiv=1702.02951 |bibcode=2017IAUS..325..341B |s2cid=7857871 |issn=1743-9213 |archive-date=2022-06-25 |access-date=2022-06-25 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220625140128/https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/proceedings-of-the-international-astronomical-union/article/what-can-the-programming-language-rust-do-for-astrophysics/B51B6DF72B7641F2352C05A502F3D881 |url-status=live }}</ref> An article published in ''[[Nature (journal)|Nature]]'' shared stories of bioinformaticians using Rust.<ref name="Nature"/> Both articles found that Rust has advantages for its performance and safety, and cited the [[learning curve]] as being a primary drawback to its adoption.<ref name=ResearchSoftware1/><ref name="Nature"/>
