Sorry but this engine had(s) problems rendenring a rectangle with alpha channel 3 months ago (I'm assuming it was fixed).
Is it normal for Rust ecosystem to use software of this level of maturity?

Another fantastic resource is the example game code in the gdext GitHub repo for a Dodge the Creeps game (which will sound familiar if you have followed the official Godot, GDScript-based, tutorial). You can try building it or just dip into for help to unblock if you get stuck working on your own game.

It is indeed great for creating a prototype. After that, one can gradually migrate to Rust go benefit from faster execution times. The Rust bindings are in a pretty decent shape by now

It looks like they're still actively maintaining a bunch of rust crates, and they're still developing Wim (their blobby Roblox competitor written in rust).
They have pulled back from the rust ecosystem quite a bit though since repi (their former CTO) left shortly after The Finals released. They stopped all their FOSS sponsorships, and there was [this PR](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-ecosystem/commit/61f0e...) which definitely doesn't inspire confidence.
