This was a really good summary of what Rust feels like in my opinion. I'm still a beginner myself but I recognize what this article is saying very much.

The hacker news comments are as usual very good too:

Completely agree with all those points.

The author seems to be a enthusiastic coder and made several game engines in Rust. I'm not sure why they didn't hook up some hot-reloadable scripting to their engine, call it good, and build games. Probably less work than writing this very long article :)

Yeah I would probably not use Bevy either if the only option is to write all gameplay code in Rust. It doesn't seem like the best tool for the job.
