To me a metric of "last time an actual human being responded to an issue" is much more informative.
Doesn't help if the response was "closed, I don't care about this project anymore".

Aren’t these websites manually created though? In which case, a simple check every month for “new issues with responses, and if so, are they not abandoned” would be nice
From what I've experienced, these sites largely go via passive maintainance, ie, based on pull requests and issues, not actively developing or updating things.
Are there any resources for developing 2D game graphics, especially for hobbyists? It seems like game development articles focus so much on frameworks and just assume everyone knows where to find / how to make graphics, audio, etc. I would be especially interested in a high level "how to make a game" that didn't go so in-depth into the programming details but which did include procuring the assets and perhaps some st…

I'm still waiting on Rust to mature a bit, but I might experiment with building a game in something aside from Unity for my next project.
Not deeply familiar with Rust but with its memory management concept does it allow for something like arena allocator?
Custom allocator support for the std types (Vec, HashMap, etc) is coming, but at a snails pace.
I assume most game development (or, at least, game engine development) is still in C++? How easy would it be to start moving parts of it to Rust? For example, if I were to write a library (e.g. a physics engine) in Rust, how easy is it for game developers to incorporate it into their C++ games? Would they need to set up a separate Rust toolchain alongside their existing C++ one? It seems it would be much harder to fo…
The rise of Unity (C#) and Godot (GDScript or C#) would make me think that most game code is starting to move away from raw C++ — but of course the core engine code is still C++ indeed.
Godot is talked about on Hacker News but it's nowhere in the industry, as for C++ it's the default language for games and it will be the case for the foreseeable future.
I feel that there is a real disconnect between hacker news and people working in the industry.
Most people here don't seem to understand how different it is from your regular CRUD app compagny.
Can you make Rust in Rust?

The C ABI is the lingua franca still, you can call it from all of the above. And you can expose a C ABI for your Rust library.
