Disclaimer: I work on Vello[0], but not on the Skia integration directly My understanding, having not dug into it too much, is that the Skia integration does exist, but isn't enabl…

WGSL (the shading language for WebGPU) has something similar[1]. For example, `a + b [1]: https://www.w3.org/TR/WGSL/#operator-precedence-associativit...

> From a Rust-on-WASM perspective, it might be useful to limit the entity id's to ~52 bits or less, since native JavaScript numbers are doubles. Since compiling to web uses WebAsse…

In unfamiliar UIs, I often find myself accidentally triggering keyboard shortcuts and getting into weird states, so 1) leading to 2). A classic example is changing into override mo…

Are you familiar with `core::other::from_fn`[1]. This allows converting from `impl FnMut() -> Option ` to `impl Iterator `. I recognise that these aren't strictly generators - you …

To copy from another comment[0] elsewhere in the thread from cart: > The story is similar for networking. Ultimately we will have a built in api, but we're focused on more fundamen…

Yes, indeed. This was mentioned in 0.6's release notes[0]. However, this is the first actual stop of the train, so we probably could have mentioned it in these release notes as wel…

A change I find interesting in this release is the addition of `Deref`/`DerefMut` derives[0]. It addresses a very real pain point in bevy, due to `#[derive(Component)]`'s interacti…

I don't think this is actually a problem, since when casting from `&mut T` to `*mut T`, the returned pointer can only access the data (the T value) directly behind the reference. T…

One potential option I haven't seen mentioned is to make references (i.e. `&[mut] T`) not use capabilities, but raw pointers (`*(mut|const)`) to use capabilities. Since the compile…

I can't speak for cart here, but from my perspective as a contributor to `bevy`, it's extremely useful having freedom from backwards compatibility concerns to improve our APIs. For…

You can either use rust-analyzer[1] (for which vscode is most well supported), or IntelliJ Rust [2]. Personally, I use `rust-analyzer` with vscode as a bevy developer. [1]: https:/…
