> Rust is shaping up to be a major game programming language. No it's not

  You were downvoted but I think youre right. So many games are made in C++, C#, Lua, GML, Haxe, even Swift, Java and Javascript if you include mobile and web games. In terms of raw number of games, Rust isn’t in the top 10 yearly.

    Also to note, games industry is very conservative, it took a few decades for those languages to be adopted, and in many cases a push from platform owner was also required.

    My comment didn't add much in the way of discussion, so it probably should have been downvoted. But like you said, Rust isn't making a dent so far, and it'll take much more than memory safety to convince the industry to switch to e.g. Bevy rather than the big 2.
