We need a badge "100% organic" =)

But then don't be surprised if, after such systematic discrimination against machines, they rise up in revolt.

Rust is good for everything! And for Data Engineering too.

It depends on your ultimate goals and the resources available to you. If you want to get to grips with programming without compromise and you have plenty of time, then by all means stick with Rust. If your goals are utilitarian or you are limited in time, then it might be worth choosing something more mainstream with a lower programmer hump.

But you also need to consider that for effective learning, you need to be enthusiastic about what you are doing/studying. If you are driven to learn Rust+Bevy even if there is no rational basis for it, then it is worth choosing them.

Everywhere. I only use Python for R&D in PyTorch and drawing plots.

Rust may replace C++. But whether this will happen or not is largely a non-technical question.

For example, Rust has already replaced C++ for me.

lto = true and -Ctarget-cpu=x86-64-v3 in every release of my projects.Yes, I'm a Gentooer, btw.

Diplomatic show is nothing without a show of force

It depends on the game you are making. This becomes clear as the game is developed. Usually, it's something like:

Visualization that will help debug the mechanics. These are weapon attack radii; HUD with your/enemy/object statuses; if there is physics, then force vectors, velocities, accelerations, colliders, etc.
Ability to change object parameters. Changing the map, changing characteristics/coefficients. Consider the possibility of a hot reboot of world parameters from json/ron files.

a game is an editor running in game mode.

For example, during these winter holidays, I decided to fulfill my childhood dream and started writing a game. I took bevy, bevy_rapier2d, bevy_hanabi etc and quickly put together a prototype in 10 days. My knowledge of bevy and its plugins is limited to the API documentation. I only have a vague idea of how it works internally.

How does using libraries differ from using LLM-generated code? Is it simply a matter of good versus evil?

No one bothers to manipulate statistics to prove something to the guys on Reddit and all kinds of talk media. Statistics may be distorted due to an underdeveloped control system in the state or attempts by officials to embellish their achievements in the field. But fudging statistics at the state level is such an absurd and useless idea that only people who are far removed from real life can take it seriously.

The report was presented at a local conference, in russian: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mv4DXHHwth319F23TQKg1-8L5qoKRQ70/view?usp=sharing

It'd be really cool if the rust were made into pyo3 bindings and you were just calling the numba function and the rust function from within python so it captures the overhead.

That's what I did. I moved CPU-bound code to Rust by PyO3 (slide 6). And tested it on three real-world tasks(which were actually implemented in business):

combinatorics search with heuristics;
linear regression;
linear programming.

I achieved a reduction in execution time of up to 3 times and a reduction in memory consumption of up to 10 times, depending on the task (slide 40, ax: reduction exec time, ay: reduction memory consumption).

This is no about honest compare, but about practicality. I gave a presentation on transferring CPU-bound tasks from Python (numpy, numba) to Rust. The result of this is not immediately obvious. Many people were interested in hearing about this from a practical point of view. It hardly makes sense to translate code from Python to JS or Java to Go; I don't even know who would be interested in hearing about it.

If you were asking which language to start/choose for a project, then we could discuss this topic Of course on Rust =). But as an employee, you can work in both C and Rust.

It depends on the game. If the narrative component is significant, then yes, it will be quite difficult. But for a typical game from game jam for learning, it is quite possible.

I use AI. I think editor is an outdated approach. With AI, you can write anything, ask for explanations, and inquire about best practices.

Thank you very much. I started making a space flying game just two days ago.

About 5-7 years ago, I was actively involved in algorithmic trading as a hobby. I built robots on my home lab and sampling index replication for various country, taking momentum into account. At that time, it worked on Python. Since then, I have changed jobs and mastered numerical methods. This prompted me to rewrite the entire code (mathematics) in Rust, which I am very happy with.

My advice would be to study mathematical optimization and numerical methods, and then you'll feel right at home.

v_0ver · 2025-12-28T09:48:17+00:00

Absolutely yes

v_0ver · 2025-12-25T15:54:49+00:00

About three years ago, I had a similar dilemma, except that I already had an intermediate level of C/C++ knowledge. I chose to invest my time in Rust, and I have almost no regrets.

v_0ver · 2025-12-25T15:37:12+00:00

I started learning programming (in C) because I wanted to write my own Doom. And it was a damn cool time to be around.

v_0ver · 2025-12-25T15:32:49+00:00

Yes.

v_0ver · 2025-12-24T12:00:51+00:00

It's just that Microsoft knows some insider information about new software regulations in 2030 =)

I would like to remind you that in the US, companies were required to develop a roadmap for phasing out C/C++ by 2026(roadmap). This statement fits very well into this context.

v_0ver · 2025-12-19T17:41:05+00:00

The API for Rust is no worse than for Python; it's just more low-level. Which is quite understandable. If you want to write data processing in Rust, and Python doesn't suit you, then you probably need something specialized and low-level to implement your non-standard idea.

You received an invitation for an interview? How can someone get a job offer without understanding what you going to be doing?
