> I'll await your Rust ports of Windows, Linux and MacOS then. Unironically this. Like most game developers, I was extremely sceptical of Rust, based on opinions I've read on the internet. Ugliest syntax I've ever seen, and "safety" features are irrelevant and just get in my way. Compile times are glacial. Tons of direct and indirect dependencies needed. But then I got to use it professionally for a year or so, and I was MINDBLOWN by how much less stuff I have to keep in my working memory at all times. And libs like tokio and actix-web were so well-designed that I actually enjoyed reading the code in my free time. Fighting the borrow checker? I had like five such instances in the first month, understood what it wants and why, and it never bothered me again. Compiles were indeed slow, but I went from "if it complies the first time around, I'm probably missing something" to "if it compiles the first time around, it's most likely correct". Turns out, I had significantly underestimated what Rust brings to the table, while focusing on stuff that wasn't really that important once you get used to it. Nowadays I'm back to gamedev. I'm happy about that, because my year in cloud/edge dev felt like we were consistently solving the wrong problems. But I do wish my current team was more open to giving Rust a chance. It solves so many actual problems, and is being dismissed with reasoning like "sorry, I don't have programming socks". And by very smart people! WTF is this timeline?
