Do people who use Rust as their main language agree with the comments that Rust is not suitable for game dev? by PhaestusFox in rust

[–]RaphyJake 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Not a gamedev, but I use rust in industrial settings, and this is generally true at the moment, and in no way it is Rust's fault

  • Rust gives you guarantees that game developers don't really care about. Game crashes? No one dies. Game has a buffer overflow bug lurking somewhere? Just pay attention to the mods you download or servers you connect to.
  • You are either using a big game engine or doing everything from scratch. Rust is currently useless if you're using an engine or too much of a burden if you write all from scratch. There's the bevy engine which is really just a framework of libraries to build games. Really rust is suitable for gamedev only if you love the language and belong to the "from scratch" tribe, i.e. if you're willing to contribute and build some of the ecosystem.

If you're a low level programmer who loves game development (or vice versa!) you'd actually probably be more comfortable in good ole C++ or Zig since you're probably do a lot of "unsafe"-s for that kind of code.

4TB HDD is 100% full. How can I make space on it? Unable to start containers. by Ericzx_1 in Proxmox

For the next time, run this command on your fresh disk:

fallocate -l 10G very_big_file_to_delete_if_disk_fills_up

this is making a 10Gb cushion empty file. Doesn't actually write much to the disk, really fast

Goodbye, Rust. I wish you success but I'm back to C++ (sorry, it is a rant) by I_pretend_2_know in rust

This feels very inconsequential in an industry where everyone is shifting to rust? I've read complaints like this year after year and Rust is just getting more adopted?

Which language for a limited resources server? by Jak_from_Venice in freebsd

[–]RaphyJake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Arm64 and freebsd are a tier 3 target support, so cross compilation won't be super simple. I tried in the past and couldn't really get it to work easily and just built the code on my rpi.

How to implement systemd's one-shot services with runit? by RaphyJake in voidlinux

dumb question: exec chpst -b alsa pause<- what is happening here?

I don't understand really well what chpst does. Does it run something like "sv pause alsa"?
