I don't know if mrDIMAS is on HN but big congrats to him for this great project.
Wow, this is a lovely, pragmatic, no nonsense game engine! And it has a non-trivial example project and an editor! This is such a breath of fresh air for game engine announcements. I don't know if mrDIMAS is on HN but big congrats to him for this great project.

I think that Rust's features allow for cleaner code bases.
I don't see why Rust would be cleaner than modern C++ codebase.
Sure you can write clean modern cpp (the act of which is harder than writing clean Rust), but if your dependencies are still "C with classes", you are forced to particular patterns.

It's a single person project. I haven't seen a more advanced rust engine. Adding better rendering isn't too bad once you have some engine architecture.
I have nothing against it, and it being a single person project. But the fact remains, it's far behind Unity, Unreal and Godot.
What I like is that this engine actually have a demo which is more than few cubes and sprite: A full tiny game. Game engine should have more tiny games as it's a good way for newcomers to have something they can start to hack (change gravity/texture/lighting effects) and understand what a game engine is and how it work. The code is quite clean and it also provide scene editor with dedicated UI widgets. https://github…
This looks really impressive! Given that Rust -> WebAssembly is at least a thing, would it be plausible for someone to make that rusty-shooter demo work in a browser?
