5 Rust game engines to consider for your next project
Fyrox is a production-ready engine with extensive documentation and resources that focuses on 2D and 3D rendering. To use the Fyrox engine, add the following line to your Cargo.toml:

Is there a way to use piston with wasm?
rg3d has recently added web support.
-
Game engines favouring a programming-heavy approach?
Rg3d, written in Rust: https://rg3d.rs

Is it reasonable to build beautiful-responsive-complex frontends in Rust web frameworks with minimal html css javascript knowledge?
Maybe bevy plus egui? I have never used wasm or bevy though. rg3d apparently supports wasm, too, and includes its own GUI lib (but it's hard to customize the rg3d gui, as far as I can tell).
- I know that rust is still a growing ecosystem but I want to know if there are any rust game engines.
- Why isn't rust used in game engines yet?

I want to make a game that’s 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 – 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

Can you use rust to create games?
For what its worth, you can write your scripting for godot in Rust with godot-rust. It's not perfect cause its fitting Rust into the Godot model, but it'll also give you a "best of both worlds" type of situation if you want to get up and running quick but also do the game logic in Rust.
There's godot-rust for writing Rust components for the Godot engine.

What do I need for a board game?
If you desire to use Godot, as having the editor and support, while wanting to use Rust for the logic, might wanna look into Godot Rust.
-
What's your favorite Rust design pattern?
Current version of godot-rust uses type-state to declare Ref references "safe to use" once the user has asserted their safety, and to switch between shared/unique/thread-local ownership.

Mark Russinovich (Azure CTO): "it's time to halt starting any new projects in C/C++ and use Rust"
If you're willing to get your hands a little dirty, you can also use Rust anywhere that exposes a C API or allows you to dynamically load C ABI libraries, but then you have to work with ugly interface stuff. It's doable. Using Rust with Godot isn't too unreasonable through gdnative/godot-rust. No idea how that's going to change up with Godot 4, though.

Godot rewrite in Rust?
That said, what you may want to keep an eye on are Rust bindings like: https://github.com/godot-rust/godot-rust

Do you feel it's a waste of time programming in C++/Rust for 3d graphics or game programming in 2022 ? Every others fields of programming seem to pay more like JS/React webdev ?
If you like Rust there are (immature) bindings for Unreal and Godot. Or you might like to use a pure Rust engine like Bevy, Fyrox etc.

Best platform to learn rust?
For example, with https://godot-rust.github.io/
