"Leaving Rust gamedev after 3 years" by @logloggames is good. https://loglog.games/blog/leaving-rust-gamedev/

And only half of that is related to Rust! The rest are very good points about hype cycles, tech zealotry, search for silver bullets, being constantly sidetracked by shiny interesting tech instead of solving a problem, etc. etc. Very long, but also very good read.

@aras @logloggames Fascinating analysis that keeps focus on "Can I make a fun game?" over "Can I write safe, clean, maintainable code?". For most application devs, tech is a means to an end, not an end in itself.

@aras @logloggames >Making a fun & interesting games is about rapid prototyping and iteration, Rust's values are everything but that

This.
