Simplest way to get basic programmatic tile OR voxel graphics going?
For 3d there's https://github.com/bonsairobo/building-blocks and https://github.com/bonsairobo/feldspar (wip)

Code review
This reminds me of a discord chat logo of a library called building-blocks: https://github.com/bonsairobo/building-blocks

I made a Minecraft-like engine using wgpu in Rust!
Very cool! I'm the author of the building-blocks crate, and we've got a Discord channel where we chat about voxel stuff and Rust if you ever want to stop by.

Help with LOD
This is my octree code. It's not C++ but it might give you some ideas: https://github.com/bonsairobo/building-blocks/blob/main/crates/building_blocks_storage/src/octree_set.rs

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?
What are some alternatives?
