C++ limited it's growth. I think the rate of growth for libraries in rust will be more diverse and faster.
I'm predicting we won't hit JavaScript levels of diversity (the problem space is just that much harder in gaming then in web) where the diversity itself is a hindrance but given the metrics of interest in rust and it's ease of use compared to C++ it's just a matter of time.
If I'm wrong the only think I think I would be wrong about is when this inflection point occurs. Either we hit in the future or we just passed it.
- flohofwoe 4y agoDon't get me wrong: C++ sucks. But as far as Rust goes you are way too optimistic. In the context of game development, Rust suffers from a lot of the same problems as C++. Features like fast build times and debuggability actually matter there. It's not memory safety why game dev people are starting to get fed up with C++, it's the slow build times and feature creep of modern C++. In those areas, Rust looks even worse than C++.
