This Month in Rust Game Development #1 (April 2019)

Welcome to the inaugural issue of the Rust Game Development Workgroup’s monthly (hopefully!) newsletter.

Rust is a systems language pursuing the trifecta: safety, concurrency, and speed. These goals are well-aligned with game development.

We hope to build an inviting ecosystem for anyone wishing to use Rust in their development process!

Survey from the Rust Game Development Working Group

Interested (maybe already invested?) in using Rust for game development? 🦀🕹️

Please set aside a brief moment to answer this short survey about the current state of our GD ecosystem and what the GD working group can do to nurture it. 🌱

The survay only has nine questions:

  • Name and/or nickname(s) in the Rust community
  • Company / Organisation / Repo name(s)
  • Email or other preferred form of contact
  • Do you consider yourself a hobbyist, or a professional game developer? (*)
  • Are you currently using, or considering using Rust for game development? (*)
  • What about Rust as a language and ecosystem presents the biggest NEGATIVES for you as a game developer right now?
  • …biggest POSITIVES?
  • Can you name some libraries you are thankful for or take special interest in?
  • What do you think should be the game-dev working group's priorities for the next 3-6 months? (*)
