If somebody writes something in Rust but doesn't announce the fact, what happens? This is an open question as so far we have no examples of that happening.
If somebody announces that their project is written in Rust but nobody complains, what happens?<p>Writing any non-trivial video game with Rust is (arguably) interesting in itself since developer velocity in gamedev is generally considered paramount, and Rust has a reputation (rightly or wrongly) for hindering velocity.<p>So yes, the fact that this is written in Rust is actually relevant and valuable. As opposed to your hollow snark.<p>Now, OP: tell us more about how that's played out for you.
Rust is the crossfit of programming languages. Everybody around you needs to know at all times.<p><i>On a serious note, nice job OP. This game kind of feels like an ASCII version of Terraria. Might I recommend extended ASCII or unicode for the player though? Right now they look a bit like a lollipop.</i>
Based on the evidence presented by the Hacker News front page, the hype is boundless. Rust is the ur-language that we never realized until... idk, three years ago?
It's a PR ploy. It sounds better than X done in C, mainly because the X has been done countless times in C by now, while "Hello World, but in Rust" still felt sexy three years ago.
You really don't want to know. The results could be disastrous.
haha, guilty
