What does it mean that "Rust now plays in the C/C++ league"? Is this referring to the Rust Foundation announcement or some other recent news?

I believe they're talking about Rust's performance vs C/C++, but I could be wrong

Is that only a recent phenomenon, though? Hasn't it always been competitive?

What they likely mean is that C++ gamedev libraries have been heavily optimized over the course of many years, so while there is no theoretical limitation on Rust's equivalents, polishing them to the same degree is nontrivial and takes time. Bevy is the closest and that is a recent development (last couple of months).

Yes, sorry.

I was talking about performance.
