How about thread safety? Are there other thread safe games in town?
- Svenskunganka 8y agoAs far as I know, only the Pony Programming Language[0] statically ensures identical guarantees as Rust, but it is not 1.0 and the community is tiny. Pony takes a wildly different approach to achieving those guarantees though - and it's more geared towards highly concurrent servers rather than the wide spectrum of programming domains that Rust embodies (embedded, systems, etc). It uses actor-based concurrency, is AOT compiled, has a concurrent GC without stop-the-world collection and ships with a "cache-aware, work-stealing scheduler" runtime. Similarly steep learning curve as Rust with its Reference Capabilities which is Pony's equivalent to Rust's ownership & borrow checker.
