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:

    Yeah, at this point I’m talking about Rust’s fit as a general purpose language and being good at refactoring. I think Rust is great for both of those and that it isn’t very subjective.

    But regarding Rust for game dev, I have no idea. I have never done game dev, so it’s definitely possible it isn’t good for it for some reason.

    I’m also saying scripting languages will break very easily when you refactor things. I didn’t think that was that controversial…
