Yeah so this is the sort of thing I would imagine, for perhaps the rust 
subreddit https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/ (after asking the mods if it's 
ok.) Not sure if it's a good idea, it's an example.

Hello Rustacians! 

metamath [link] is a project for creating computer checkable maths proofs. 
The means taking old fashioned pen and paper mathematical proofs and 
encoding them in such a way that they can be verified by machine, as some 
classic examples we have Pythagoras' theorem [link] and the irrationality 
of the square root of 2 [ink]. There are over 40,000 proofs in the database 
so far and growing, hopefully one day it can cover all of known mathematics.

There have also been some interesting projects to use AI to generate maths 
proofs, such as Open AIs gpt-f [link] and this AI assisted mathematics may 
well be the future.

Anyway what does this have to do with you? Our community is working on a 
new verifier and proof assistant called metamath-knife [link] and it's 
written in Rust. And there's a lot of Rust based stuff which we could 
really do some help with working on, for instance [not exactly sure what 
should go here?] creating a good web UI for it, implementing a VSCode 
extension and ...

The verifier is open source and we're an all volunteer community, so no 
money is involved. And so yeah if you're either interested in learning 
about the mathematical aspects or would be interested in poking around with 
the code and helping with some of the programming stuff come and say hi at 
our google group [link] or check out the github repo [link]. We have people 
who are very strong on the mathematical side so if you are only familiar 
with Rust that's still useful to us.

Computer readable / formally verified mathematics is extremely powerful and 
is a very young a promising field which has a lot to explore for anyone 
curious about the future of mathematics.

Thanks :)
