Do you mean Rust is unsuited for games, or that Rust simply don't (yet) have the established engines/frameworks/libraries for it? I think Rust could be really great for video game development, but it's true that the ecosystem is not quite there yet - though it's getting better.
@SorteKanin @entwine Rust is great for games even without engines, I think game developmers can learn to do stuff more low level. There is a great Rust wrap/binding to Godot. That and there are actually tons of little ways to make games in Rust. It depends on how granular a person wants to be! The improvements lately to the SDL3 bindings alone mean many things are possible. :) It's been way better than C/C++ so far for me.
