Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Non web-based crossplatform GUI frameworks focused on security
It's a little less standard use, but Godot has been used to build application guis, which could be paired with rust bindings to implement app logic. I can't speak to reproducibility/scalability, but Godot's ui is extremely solid, and I'd probably choose that over Bevy until Bevy's ui progress matures.
-
What is Rust's potential in game development?
Adding onto this, I successfully written a game in Godot using gdnative / gdext. I started with a split approach using gdscript and rust for CPU intensive but found that the API layer was slow at transferring large amounts of data (serialization?). I ended up rewriting it in all rust and it worked like a charm. I was able to target native and web assembly, the web assembly was much slower but worked on the browser.

Why is it so difficult to learn to use Bevy?
Check this: https://github.com/tomuxmon/bevy_roguelike if you are still into bevy. Scheduling is a bit bork and I have not found time to port it to latest bevy. But most of the systems should work fine(if used on latest bevy). But again. If you want faster result go with something like Godot. In fact, just go with Godot. It is mature, easy to start, no lock in(free and MIT license), a lot of learning material. Also with Godot you can also use Rust https://godot-rust.github.io/. Ditch Unity (do not have time to explain π ). Have fun!

Rust β Are We Game Yet?
> Same for Godot.
While likely true that it's "Unlikely to ever be as supported" as the 4 officially supported languages[0] ("GDScript, C#, and, via its GDExtension technology, C and C++."), Godot's GDExtension technology is specifically intended for use in adding support for other languages.
The most relevant tracking issue for Rust is presumably:

Which links to:

OK so whose gonna tell them
...Godot v3.x has Rust support via godot-rust and Godot v4.0 is released as of this month?
-
Godot 4.0 is out
I was curious, and looked it up. Nothing built in, but there's an interesting project that works with godot: https://godot-rust.github.io/

The langage for the next 40 years of engine dev
Curious why you think Rust would not work with a node-system like in Godot since there are already Rust-bindings for Godot. And while I can think of several reasons for not using Rust (I don't use it myself) I never thought the lack of inheritance would be an issue at all.

I want to make a game thatβs compatible with Nintendo switch.
Also if you want to use this as an opportunity to learn Rust, take a look at godot-rust.

100,000 subscriber celebration β Ask the Godot contributors anything!
GDExtension is a platform, much like GDNative. It provides tools, but additional language bindings will still come from the community. For Godot Rust you can track the progress here: https://github.com/godot-rust/godot-rust/issues/824

HELP: Unique ID's starting at 0 for each Type, advancing by one.
There were even discussions about deprecating static mut. Even if you think you got it right, there are too many things that might go wrong, like aliasing. For example, macroquad needs a complete rewrite because of their static mut.

Learning project - board game Yinsh using macroquad
It's based on macroquad and you can play the wasm version here: https://unvirtual.github.io/yinsh-rs/

I love rust, I have a pet peeve with the community
The reality is that I have used unsafe that is also unsound out of convenience because fixing it is a papercut too many. And this tends to be common! I know enough to spot unsoundness in other projects (sometimes even early). But not enough to be confident in my own abilities to write sound unsafe code. Why? Because it's really flipping hard, that's why!

Limitations of wasm for a small board game?
Given that you are making a game, you might want to consider using a game framework such as https://github.com/not-fl3/macroquad/.Macroquad has full support for WASM, and will allow you to render your game both locally and in the browser via WASM depending on how you compile it.

2D game with barebone graphics library
Compare the basic examples to draw a simple shape like a triangle in wgpu (https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu/blob/master/wgpu/examples/hello-triangle/main.rs), and in macroquad (https://github.com/not-fl3/macroquad/blob/master/examples/basic_shapes.rs).

C++'s smaller cleaner language
Comparing raylib to bevy is like comparing a scooter to a sports car. They're not particularly comparable in functionality or design. If you want a fairer comparison, see macroquad.
