What would you recommend for simple 2D game (in The Binding of Isaac style)?
Any opinion on ggez? I don't like how everything in macroquad is global state https://github.com/not-fl3/macroquad/issues/333

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!

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.

Bun - The One Tool for All Your JavaScript/Typescript Project's Needs?
NodeJS is by no means a slow runtime, it wouldn’t be so popular if it was. But compared to Bun, it’s slow. Bun was built from the ground up with speed in mind, using both JavascriptCore and Zig. The Bun team spent an enormous amount of time and energy trying to make Bun fast, including lots of profiling, benchmarking, and optimizations.

Bun 1.1
ntdll.dll!RtlUserThreadStart()
There are valid reasons to use APIs from NTDLL. Where I disagree with zig#1840 is the idea that it is always better to use NTDLL versions of API. Every other software ecosystem uses the standard Win32 APIs and diverging from that without a good reason seems like a good way to have unexpected behavior. One concrete example is most users and programmers expect Windows to redirect some file system paths when running on WOW64. But this is implemented in Kernel32, not ntdll.
