I'm currently suffering a dilemma and I’m considering using Odin over Rust.

I was hoping for friendly and positively constructive assessments of which language and why from anyone who wishes to answer?

what do you want to do?

Hobby game engine, i'm debating if Odin being a quick, simple and performant language would help me get my idea from in my head into RAM

Odin might be better because it has built in vendor libraries like glfw/sdl2 for windowing and events and box2d if you need physics.

Yes and although since originally posting, I’ve began to lean towards Rust. My son wants to learn how to program and Odin will be great for him <3
