COOLJAPAN Rust Ecosystem — Sovereign software infrastructure built in Rust.
Run the same software, with the same commands, across Linux, macOS, Windows, containers, and WebAssembly — without being locked into a specific OS, cloud, or vendor. We are rebuilding the entire scientific, media, AI, semantic web, formal verification, and systems stack in pure Rust — so AI agents and critical software can run anywhere with full sovereignty.
Sovereignty by design.
We build a comprehensive Rust-native software ecosystem designed to keep computation, data, and execution under the user's control.
The goal is not merely portability. It is sovereignty: the ability to run, inspect, modify, reproduce, and deploy software across environments without surrendering control to a particular platform, cloud, or vendor.
Same software. Same commands. Your infrastructure. Your control.

Most of this ecosystem is Apache-2.0 and free. Seven vertical workspaces are licensed, priced in public, with paid 30-day full-source evaluation, credited in full against a licence, and no sales call required.

BSL-1.1 Crates & Evaluation: Selected crates (such as
cargo-formaland "Sponsor Only" projects below) are licensed under BUSL-1.1 (converting automatically to Apache-2.0 on the change date). While their GitHub repositories remain private, full packages are published on crates.io for free evaluation and non-production use. Production use requires a commercial licence via the tiers above—check the exact terms at cooljapan.tech/bsl. No sales calls required.
- Total crates: 1100+ (and growing daily)
- Total Rust SLoC: ~40 million (Mostly the same as Linux Kernel) (OSS: 30M + Licensed / BSL: 10M SLoC)
- Total Rust Files: 100,000+
- Passing tests: 400,000+
- Projects: 75+ production-grade libraries
- All projects: 100%

2026-05 — 1-Bit LLMs in Pure Rust — A field report from OxiBonsai v0.1.3 · Naz Quadri A hands-on field report: measured decode and prefill throughput across the CPU AVX-2 and CUDA backends on real hardware, read through the SIMD kernels and error model, and documented three defects. Assesses the source as senior-level human Rust, and notes that release count rather than commit count is the meaningful activity signal for this codebase.
