SDL&C Or Wgpu&Rust, for Learning Graphics Programming ?
I don't think that SDL and WGPU are really comparable. You'd be better off comparing SDL to something like Notan or even the SDL bindings for Rust. That said, SDL will have vastly more learning resources than Wgpu or Notan or any Rust alternative. If you know and like rust you can probably use the resources with the Rust SDL bindings.

Game Lib similar to LWJGL Pygame SDL
Those are 3 very different libraries. Are you looking for something in the middle, or do you want all of the features you described? For what it's worth, there's SLD2 bindings for Rust https://github.com/Rust-SDL2/rust-sdl2
-
How would I connect renderer coded in C and logic coded in rust?
There's already a Rust binding for SDL2. See https://crates.io/crates/sdl2
-
SDL2 vs Winit/Pixels/CPAL/etc. Is going "native" really worth it?
nope. https://github.com/Rust-SDL2/rust-sdl2/issues/884 emscripten target won't work yet either.
-
I would like a simple, but abstracted, drawing library
it seems like what you are looking for is sdl2 bindings
-
cannot borrow `renderer` as mutable more than once at a time
Dude. It's literally at most 50 lines of code, the entire project. What kind of documentation do you expect me to write? The library I'm using is this one. I don't know why you'd need to know anything about it since it's purely something that can appear literally anywhere, it's part of the language.

C++ coders, why do you stick with the language?
*and* SDL2-sys *and* Rust-SDL2

Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here! (21/2022)!
The SDL2 crate had something like this, and it's an option I'm considering. However, if possible, I'd prefer a different, simpler GUI library, so if there's an input-specialized crate out there that does this, I'd love it.

Raw pointers are more complicated in Rust than C
For example notan, or if you only need windowing, winit?

You can also have a look at notan (like SDL but in Rust).

Minimal 2D library for games? I'm struggling a bit to settle on one to learn.
I highly recommend notan https://github.com/Nazariglez/notan
