rust game for web, gltf question
You can absolutely do WebGL. glow is a good place if you want to do the webgl stuff yourself. With wgpu you can as well, though it is mostly targeted to the upcoming WebGPU standard. I have seen many crates that are capable of gltf loading, but I haven't used any yet. Hence I can't reall recommend one. But gltf capability does not really have anything to do with rust. As long as you can read a file and translate it to your engines scene/entity structure, I don't see why it shouldn't be possible to load gltf files.

Recreating macOS’s Drift screensaver with Rust and Wasm
Most of it is written in Rust and compiles to Wasm with WebGL/OpenGL bindings via glow. The settings panel is written in Elm and the whole project is compiled with Nix. There’s also a very basic native desktop app. I haven’t seen many examples of a complete setup like this, so hopefully this can serve as a template for anyone trying out a similar stack.

Are there any big projects written in Rust without any use of unsafe code?
A/B Street, which comprises a UI library, lots of data import pipelines, and traffic simulation. 100k LoC, the only unafe is to make system calls through glow

opengl bindings

Shaders and Uniforms in pure SDL2?
By the way, nowadays many projects use glow instead of glutin because of.. I think it's because glow works on wasm, in the web (as webgl).
-
Graphics Libraries?
But what glow actually does is highlighted on lines 66 to 123. This section is filled with gl.some_function() calls, which is the same on every platform.

I believe diem has over 250kLOC and no unsafe code

Crowdloans on Kusama continue. Important news!
Pontem is an experimental network for the Diem coin (previously the project had the designation LIBRA and has been under development for several years). The project site is diem.com.
- the diem coin will be built on a native Facenook Blockchain or is the hypothesis that it can be based on Algorand well founded and has a minimum of sense?

Async Rust: history strikes back
This is a common confusion for newcomers, as the keyword has a different (yet somewhat related) meaning depending on the context. Libra actually had a soundness bug because of confusion about this in combination with unsafe.
