I have nothing against it, and it being a single person project. But the fact remains, it's far behind Unity, Unreal and Godot.
With enough time and resources, I wonder if we'll one day see a Rust game engine that can outperform these projects.

I don't see why Rust would be cleaner than modern C++ codebase.
c++ is a bit more verbose than rust. think about all the stdlib functions that take begin and end iterators for containers. there's an overload for std::set_difference that takes six arguments, five of them being iterators.

I think that Rust's features allow for cleaner code bases.

I predict in ten years the gravitas for new projects will have shifted entirely to Rust. C++ is just too much of a burden to write and verify. C++ will still have plenty of healthy projects, but I think it'll be hard to attract new projects when Rust has come so far.

Theoretically yes, practically it's a different story. 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.

Ranges and fold expressions take care of that.
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?

While I agree, Rust also suffers from it, where " C with Classes" gets turned into "Rust with unsafe", although not required.

Unsafe is not as big of a deal as people make it seem.
