Forget about the language. What kind of systems do you want to build, or want to learn to build? If it is networked systems, Go gets the job done pretty well. If you want to build a game, or want a superior c++, go for Rust.
- movedx 8y ago> If you want to build a game, or want a superior c++, go for Rust. Does Rust have the libraries, frameworks, engines, and communities for developing games? In my opinion, development of any software, whether it's a REST API or a AAA 3D game, isn't just about the language but is actually about 10 other things.
- guu 8y agoIf you want to make a 3D game you can get started much quicker by using an existing engine like Unity and C#. If you’re interested in building a game engine then C++ will have the most resources.
- movedx 8y agoThat's what I'm thinking, yes.
- suby 8y agoI feel that it has a good and growing game dev community, but all the tools and engines need more time in development. There are a few game engines and frameworks being built with rust, but (someone correct me if im wrong) they all either dont have a stable api or have bugs which i wouldnt want to have in production. I do think Rust is an ideal languange to build games in though. It just needs some time. See http://arewegameyet.com http://arewegameyet.com
