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:

    Exactly. I make games for a hobby in Godot, and my workflow is to iterate in GDScript and optimize in something faster (I wrote a world gen in Rust).

    Most of a game’s performance is going to be in the engine in shaders, physics, etc, so most of your logic could very well be in a scripting language.

      How well does Godot integrate with modules written in other languages? I assume you have to compile a library for each target platform on your Rust component and then link it dynamically in Godot somehow?
