rust-analyzer
Discontinued A Rust compiler front-end for IDEs [Moved to: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-analyzer] (by rust-analyzer)
You can either use rust-analyzer[1] (for which vscode is most well supported), or IntelliJ Rust [2]. Personally, I use `rust-analyzer` with vscode as a bevy developer.

The input examples and the GLTF loading example are good places to start.

WorkOS
The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

This release constitutes a massive rendering API rework. You can think of it more as a foundation that makes it easier to implement better rendering features in the future.
If you check the release notes[0], you'll see HDR/Bloom support was dropped at the last minute, and several other major rendering features are still pending implementation.
The great part about Bevy is that it's modular, so you can swap out the renderer if you like. There's already several people using Bevy with Embark's kajiya renderer[1].

I noticed the short section on changes to Bevy's UI. I expect both GPU rendering and ECS will be important capabilities to consider for new GUI systems, and Bevy does both well. How do you imagine Bevy fitting into the budding Rust GUI story a la https://areweguiyet.com ? An entrant itself? The backend for one? Would you consider pure GUI applications an important use-case for Bevy now, or perhaps some time in the future?

What do you mean by single screen? There's no technical reason for that to be the case and there are already games that have multiple screens, even past the basic main menu + main game loop ones. You can find multiple functioning and fun, if small, games here https://bevyengine.org/assets/#games.
> it's not clear if it now supports OpenGL
Why do you need opengl when you have support for D3D, Vulkan, Metal, OpenglES, and WebGL2? What amount of the market are you missing?
The reason you don't see many Bevy games is 1) yes, it's new and relatively immature and 2) it takes a long time to make a game. That said, I've had a lot of fun building out a tbs game with it and have been very impressed with the foundation so far. On top of that you get to write in Rust which for me is a huge productivity boost when compared to writing in say C# for Unity, but that's subjective.
