Help with egui basics?
I prefer examples like the ones in Macroquad: https://github.com/not-fl3/macroquad/tree/master/examples. I'm not against advanced examples, but the priority should be extremely clear, minimal, self contained ones.

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.

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!
