Ah yeah pipeline compilation is a very non-trivial problem[1]. Unreal is also struggling with this a lot. I hear you that it's an issue.
The Bevy issue you want to follow is https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/10871.

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.

I've been using Bevy recently so here are some thoughts on this:
Firstly, the overall quality is high and seeing this attention being paid to the project's organization is another good sign.
Documentation is not great great. The Bevy book runs out of content very quickly. The "Cheat Book" has additional useful information: https://bevy-cheatbook.github.io/. With these plus the examples I've been able to figure out everything I need, but it's slow going.
I'm not 100% sold on ECS. It loses a lot of type safety and there doesn't seem to be any way to ensure cleanup of entities and their components.

Great article and very fun to read, as someone who also doesn't have a strong math background, so thank you for explaining these "trivial" concepts :)
Are you planning to read/explain through XPBD (Extended Position Based Dynamics - http://mmacklin.com/xpbd.pdf) as well in future posts? The concept seems to be gaining traction and I've used it with Bevy (via https://github.com/Jondolf/bevy_xpbd) with big success so far, seems more stable than the usual approach.

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.
