ECS can be implemented in any language, it's orthogonal to my comment re: why Rust for gamedev? ECS is such an obvious concept, it's akin to file descriptors and PIDs on *NIX; an indirection table for handles, :slowclap:. There's nothing Rust-unique about it. The amount of hype I see surrounding ECS like it's some kind of groundbreaking amazing thing, often muddled into "Rust for gamedev" conversations, causes me to question everything said in such pro-Rust discussions. Blow actually responded to the keynote you linked [0]. What's still unclear to me is what's the advantage that Rust is bringing to the table? Is game development velocity higher than in C++/C/C#? The ecosystem is obviously less mature, and the borrow-checker is an obvious source of friction... How do we separate the hype from the facts?
