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.

Ecs fundamentally at odds with borrow checker.

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).

NANOVOID Devlog #1: Lua Scripting
I'd say to use either https://macroquad.rs/ or http://ggez.rs/, they're both basically "all that you need for 2d". I've used macroquad extensively, but that was mainly because ggez was undergoing a big rewrite to wgpu which is now complete with 0.8.

Embedding GGEZ into GTK-RS
Hi guys, Is there a guide on how to implement renderers/frameworks such as GGEZ?

ggez also looks pretty straightforward and simple to get graphics moving around quick and easy.

Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here (8/2023)!
https://github.com/ggez/ggez/issues/1158 For this is it as simple as changing the methods to take &Image, .clone() it inside and use that or is cloning missing the point of the change?

Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here! (51/2022)!
Sounds like https://ggez.rs/.

Sokoban clone written in Rust using ggez
Nice, can you add it to the list of projects https://github.com/ggez/ggez/blob/master/docs/Projects.md ?
What are some alternatives?
When comparing specs and ggez you can also consider the following projects:
bevy - A refreshingly simple data-driven game engine built in Rust
Amethyst - Data-oriented and data-driven game engine written in Rust
macroquad - Cross-platform game engine in Rust.
Crayon - A small, portable and extensible game framework written in Rust.
piston - A modular game engine written in Rust
Tetra - 🎮 A simple 2D game framework written in Rust
RG3D - 3D and 2D game engine written in Rust [Moved to: https://github.com/FyroxEngine/Fyrox]
entt - Gaming meets modern C++ - a fast and reliable entity component system (ECS) and much more
love - LÖVE is an awesome 2D game framework for Lua.
