What's the advantages of Rust over C/C++ today ? Is it possible to create the best 3d engine in Rust or a AAA game like Elden Ring, FF7 remake, GTA etc with it ? If it's possible why it asn't been done yet ?

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/rust_gamedev

  • LearnOpenGL

    Code repository of all OpenGL chapters from the book and its accompanying website https://learnopengl.com

  • If you need to go deep, try to learn OpenGL. This is a good start: https://learnopengl.com/ (Also there are some versions of this using Python if you are already familiar with it)

  • rust-ecosystem

    Rust wants & tracking for Embark 🦀

  • Some companies are betting on Rust, like Embark Studio (though I'm not sure their next big game, ARC Raiders, is actually fully based on Rust... but it will come !)

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • arewegameyet

    The repository for https://arewegameyet.rs

  • A) Yes, 100%. Hasn't been done yet because it requires times. C/C++ already has all its tools, Rust is still getting theirs developed.

  • cxx

    Safe interop between Rust and C++

  • There's CXX to generate such an interface layer automatically, though.
