Improving upon Entity Component Systems, introducing DG-ECM!
Yep, we do this, it works great! We stole it from hecs and Amethyst before us. There's a nice write-up of the theory in the scheduler rework the team has been working on for the past few months.

Rust vs Go for gamedev
Rust also has seemingly better libraries for the purpose. Both Bevy and Amethyst are available, and plenty more.

Rust Platformer - Part 1 - Bevy and ECS
I recently stumbled upon a short YouTube video of somebody building a roguelike game in Rust. From there, jumping from resource to resource, I ended up going through (part) of this massive (and awesome) tutorial by Herbert Wolverson about his Rust library bracket_lib. In this tutorial, Wolverson builds a roguelike game with colored text characters. After reading through, I felt like writing another type of game in Rust, so I looked at the available Rust game engines. The most popular, seems to be Amethyst, but it looks like they halted their development efforts. Second in line was Bevy. People are using it, support for Android and iOS is on the way, uses an ECS and have some usage examples: looks good.

I'm a "low-level, terminal-only" kind of developer, completely new to the game dev world. I've been working on a 2D platformer in my spare time. Can you explain to me what I'm missing out on, by not using a "game engine"?
Depends on my goals. I year ago I wanted to learn rust, so I used piston for a gamejam. (There are several rust engines including bevy, piston, amethyst. They probably vary in quality, features, and constraints.) Piston was a terrible experience because compilation is slow even on that tiny project.

Why I still like C and strongly dislike C++
And there's already a couple of surprisingly full-featured 3D engines already out there. Most notably Amethyst.

Rust servers is down
Is anyone having this problem? I can't connect to rocket.rs, actix.rs and amethyst.rs servers. I would play at https://tera.netlify.app/, but people out there is really toxic. I heard that Rust is getting an update while playing in a Rust server, just then rust server freezes and goes down.

How to get started?
Or should I jump directly in one of the bigger engines like Amethyst, Bevy or other?

Why ECS pattern is popular in Rust?
The question arises from seeing a plethora of projects using ECS: hecs , Bevy , specs, legion

Want to learn how to make games with Rust and the Bevy game engine? Now is a great time to jump in with the recently released Bevy version 0.10. I created a Bevy 0.10 beginner tutorial video series for those looking to learn and join our game dev community!
Instead, I'm using now the specs Library. It's a pure ECS library and much less powerful, without any visualization capabilities, but its works for me :)

Is implementing an ECS in rust a bad idea for a beginner project?
writing an ECS is defined a challenging project, no matter the language or if you're a beginner. although it is entirely possible to write one in Rust, check out specs and bevy_ecs for examples.

Veloren is releasing 0.13!
The official 3d rendering client uses a custom engine called Voxygen. They use Specs for logic.

How are rust devs doing?
Rust has a delightful ECS library, specs, that I absolutely love. It has safe multi-threaded execution built right in, which is fantastic for the pretty parallelizable work I was doing. Concurrency in C++ is nasty business on the best of days, and I've run into so many nasty bugs with the custom system I've had to build out to fit the web's weird threading model.

Programming a Rogue-Like with Rust
Man, this Specs [0] library is so strange to me, coming from a Unity background. Is there some sort of comparison as to why one way is better than the other?

Bellclone: a simple 2D game about jumping
Hi everyone - I just picked up one of my long-unfinished side project built with Rust and would like to show it to you here. It's a clone of the famous(?) Winterbells game. It's written entirely in Rust and uses OpenGL and an entity-component-system architecture ([the `specs` crate](https://crates.io/crates/specs)) (still learning), no game engine.

There are a *lot* of actor framework projects on Cargo.
Wait did the person at your company write specs or something else because they weren't pleased with it? I don't know much about amethyst and vaguely know about entity component systems but I watched a talk on someone making a game with amethyst and was pretty impressed -- it looked thoroughly approachable and I do not doubt the performance is there (since the whole reason you do ECS is performance).
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Amethyst and specs you can also consider the following projects:
bevy - A refreshingly simple data-driven game engine built in Rust
rust-sdl2 - SDL2 bindings for Rust
ggez - Rust library to create a Good Game Easily
rust-sfml - SFML bindings for Rust
Crayon - A small, portable and extensible game framework written in Rust.
RG3D - 3D and 2D game engine written in Rust [Moved to: https://github.com/FyroxEngine/Fyrox]
piston - A modular game engine written in Rust
rust-sdl - SDL bindings for Rust
entt - Gaming meets modern C++ - a fast and reliable entity component system (ECS) and much more
