This was a really good summary of what Rust feels like in my opinion. I'm still a beginner myself but I recognize what this article is saying very much.

The hacker news comments are as usual very good too:

And in game dev, a lot of what you're doing is exploratory:

  • not sure what heuristic to use for pathfinding
  • balancing game mechanics
  • tuning enemy AI
  • tweaking shaders

Requiring a rebuild for each of those would take too much time.

Makes sense! I must admit I have zero experience in that area.

I'm just a hobbyist myself as well, but i've talked to actual professionals in the field, so i'm pretty sure that's general wisdom.
