Yeah, but just picking one of many requirements in game dev and advocating why lang x can do this better than y ignores all the other checkboxes. Yeah, C++ is nerve-wrecking but Rust can be even more. IIRC there was a thread about Zig vs Rust and why Rust is just the wrong tool (for OPs use case in that case). IDK but there is a reason why C++ dominates game dev and a reason why Rust still struggles with mainstream adoption compared to same agers like Go or TS. |

The claim was that Rust made making something parallel easy/easier, and the illustrative example given was someone trying to parallelize something in a game engine. Whether Rust is good for game development or not is irrelevant to the point that was being made.
Even if everyone accepted that Rust was horrible for game development on most metrics, the example given would still carry the exact same weight, because it's really about "parallelizing this would be very hard in C++, but it was very easy because of Rust."
