Rust can be difficult to learn and frustrating, but it's also very exciting

I'm waiting for game engines to pick up Rust.

Not sure why downvoted. A language aimed at replacing systems languages like C++, which happens to be the go-to language for game development, seems like a reasonable choice for a game engine.

There's actually a website dedicated to tracking this - http://arewegameyet.com/

Actually it is quite interesting, thanks for sharing.

I think to be on pair with C++, a Rust based engine needs to have some Unreal like tooling.

Which actually seems to be a couple of WIP on that website, so I will now get to track their progress. :)

To be competitive to C++ on the AAA world, Rust engine tooling need to be on pair with Ogre3D, Godot, Cocos2d-X, SpriteKit, Unreal, Unity, CryEngine.

So it would be interesting to see what Seed Studios will come up with.
