Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

SDL3 new GPU API merged
wgpu supports WebGPU: https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu :
> While WebGPU does not support any shading language other than WGSL, we will automatically convert your non-WGSL shaders if you're running on WebGPU.
- First major release of gfx-rs/wgpu

I learned Vulkan and wrote a small game engine with it (in 3 months)

Zed Decoded: Linux When? – Zed Blog
Wgpu seems very very well loved & supported, is one of the most successful comings together of the graphics world in ages. I'd love to hear some actual critique of it, hear what people think are shortcomings, because it feels to an outsider like this is the fantasy land, that we're living in the better place now. https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu

GPU Compute in the Browser at the Speed of Native: WebGPU Marching Cubes
Oh look it's subgroup support landing last week: https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu/pull/5301
- 3D and 2D: Testing out my cross-platform graphics engine
- Warp Terminal is now available for Linux
- Linux version of Warp terminal is here

Building the DirectX shader compiler better than Microsoft?
And wgpu has been doing this for years. Things like descriptor indexing are not exposed to the web but used by Rust (mostly) engines on native.

New Renderers for GTK
If they used https://wgpu.rs/ they would get directx and metal for free (:

- Can someone explain how exactly are multiple languages supported in a single game engine
- Will rust ever become a first class citizen in Godot?
-
Non web-based crossplatform GUI frameworks focused on security
It's a little less standard use, but Godot has been used to build application guis, which could be paired with rust bindings to implement app logic. I can't speak to reproducibility/scalability, but Godot's ui is extremely solid, and I'd probably choose that over Bevy until Bevy's ui progress matures.
-
What is Rust's potential in game development?
Adding onto this, I successfully written a game in Godot using gdnative / gdext. I started with a split approach using gdscript and rust for CPU intensive but found that the API layer was slow at transferring large amounts of data (serialization?). I ended up rewriting it in all rust and it worked like a charm. I was able to target native and web assembly, the web assembly was much slower but worked on the browser.
-
Why is it so difficult to learn to use Bevy?
Check this: https://github.com/tomuxmon/bevy_roguelike if you are still into bevy. Scheduling is a bit bork and I have not found time to port it to latest bevy. But most of the systems should work fine(if used on latest bevy). But again. If you want faster result go with something like Godot. In fact, just go with Godot. It is mature, easy to start, no lock in(free and MIT license), a lot of learning material. Also with Godot you can also use Rust https://godot-rust.github.io/. Ditch Unity (do not have time to explain 😅). Have fun!

GDScript is fine
Bevy Godot-Rust

Rust – Are We Game Yet?
> Same for Godot.
While likely true that it's "Unlikely to ever be as supported" as the 4 officially supported languages[0] ("GDScript, C#, and, via its GDExtension technology, C and C++."), Godot's GDExtension technology is specifically intended for use in adding support for other languages.
The most relevant tracking issue for Rust is presumably:

OK so whose gonna tell them
...Godot v3.x has Rust support via godot-rust and Godot v4.0 is released as of this month?
-
Godot 4.0 is out
I was curious, and looked it up. Nothing built in, but there's an interesting project that works with godot: https://godot-rust.github.io/

There's the Rust Player still going wrong subreddit?
There's people working on it: https://godot-rust.github.io/
